Anyone can feel like a superspy while driving in an Aston Martin DBS. Known as the car of James Bond, the DBS was first seen in Casino Royale, the 2006 film starring Daniel Craig.
A hand-assembled 6.0 litre V-12 engine – tuned to 510 hp and 420 lb/ft of torque – delivers breathtaking power. Shifts from the 6-speed manual transmission can accelerate the car from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.3 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h).
Inside, the centre console is a blend of analogue instruments and digital technology, including an advanced audio system, MP3 player connectivity and satellite navigation, regulated by controls fashioned from solid, turned aluminium.
All of this is wrapped in the muscular and elegant bodywork, crafted from light-weight aluminium and carbon-fibre.
Do you want one? If yes, you have to be patient – sales start in spring 2008.
