So what does the N400 signify? This was a limited edition 2007 Nurburgring 24 hour edition? Is that a factory edition? What was different about this limited edition that the stock version?

Correct WD. It was a factory car with 400 hp, lighter rims and stiffer suspension. Looks like this one is 'Lightning Silver'.

From Wikipedia:
N400
To commemorate the company's racing successes at the Nürburgring, Aston Martin released the limited edition N400 at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. The N400’s 4.3L V8 was tuned to produce 400 bhp hence the name, and the car also featured a sports pack which included lightweight graphite-finished wheels, uprated springs and dampers and a new rear anti-roll bar. The N400 was available in three special paint colours; Storm Black, Lightning Silver and Karussell Orange. Each N400 came with perforated leather trim, including a map of the Nürburgring stitched on the center armrest, and a numbered plaque. Aston Martin tested the car at the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit where it was able to complete a lap in under eight minutes. The N400 package was available on either the coupé or roadster, with 240 versions of each being built.

BTW, Great Photos MGray.

The rims remind me a little too much of stock BMW M6 rims.
