Aston Martin DBS

The modern Aston Martin DBS is a high performance sports car from the UK manufacturer Aston Martin. Aston has used the DBS name once before on their 1967-72 grand tourer coupe. The modern car replaces the Vanquish S as the flagship of the marque.

The DBS was first seen in the 2006 film Casino Royale. It was officially unveiled at the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance sporting a brand new exterior color, a graphite gray with a blue tint which has been dubbed 'Casino Ice'. The two seater coupé (as opposed to the 2+2 DB9 which the car is based on) has a bonded aluminium chassis made of lightweight magnesium alloy, carbon fibre composite and aluminium.

Power comes from the heavily revised hand made 6.0 V12 engine from the DBR9 racing car, tuned to deliver 510 bhp and help the DBS accelerate 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 307 km/h. The car is expected to retail for approximately $265,000 USD. Sales are expected to start in spring of 2008.
