Having debuted in "Casino Royale," the first James Bond moving starring Daniel Craig, Aston Martin's DBS returns in production form in "Quantum of Solace," sharing the actor's intention to return a touch of ruthlessness and menace to its brand. The 2009 DBS gets power from a 5.9-liter, DOHC V12 engine that snorts air through nostril-like vents in the car's long hood. This engine produces 510 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque at 5,750 RPM and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, although an automatic transmission with paddle shifters is also offered. With a claimed top speed of 191 mph, the DBS has a UK-inflected 0 to 62 mph time (that's 0 to 100km/h) of 4.3 seconds.
The DBS incorporates technology from Aston's DBR9 American Le Mans racecars, most notably ceramic composite brakes, the first ever offered on a production Aston Martin. While one test driver called them noisy and another thought they should grab more quickly, all agree they have the power to stop the car very quickly. Its huge, 48-valve V12 creates a sound some drivers will not want to drown out, but the DBS includes a very powerful Bang & Olufson audio system for those who prefer man-made music.
Production numbers for the DBS will be small indeed, but with a base price of more than a quarter-million dollars, not to mention a mileage rating of 12/18 mpg, it will remain out of reach for the vast majority.
5 Overall rating
(26 reviews)Outstanding power with supreme control: the DBS represents the synthesis of raw power, race-bred technology and design excellence. Powered by a hand-built V12 engine producing 380 kW (510 bhp/517 PS), the DBS delivers breathtaking power and performance. Beneath the flowing lines of the lightweight bodywork, the DBS’s components have been honed to create an exhilarating driving experience: taut, dynamic and monumentally fast, but always highly controlled.
There is nothing bad about it, this car is built for: beauty, power, and soul. My dad drove one and its like the best car in the world, it feels like you don't wanna take your hands off the steering wheel. :)
I like all on this car. It is that of my dreams, while being accessible. What do I like? Its design, its solidity its power; his performances, his luxury, his comfort… I like all all in all, except… ITS PRICE: S IT is PERFECT!!
great car. very very fast. quick acceleration and great handling. not so great gas mileage. high level of maintananec to keep it beautiful. Funnest car i have ever driven. only wish it was a convertible, but coupe is great too.
This is the most amazing car out there, with its huge V12 and a rediculously great handling this car is a beast even though it is hard to afford for most, becasue of its really high maintenance cost. It's AMAZING
