2008 Aston Martin DBS |
Auto moto zone | ||
2008 Aston Martin DBSAston Martin made a statement at the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in the form of the production version of its Aston Martin DBS. The DBS was one of several significant Astons in attendance at Pebble as the automaker was one the weekend's featured brands. A car that Aston CEO Dr Ulrich Bez says is designed to slot in-between its road-going DB9 and track-ready DBR9, the DBS is taking on another starring role (the first being its appearance in the last James Bond flick) as brand's newest top gun. It's also the priciest, with a U.S. sticker reportedly starting at $265,000 -- about the same as the outgoing Vanquish. At the heart of the DBS is a 6.0-liter V-12 with 510 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. With an estimated top speed of 191 mph and 0-62 mph time of 4.3 seconds, DBS should prove to be one of the most sought after super coupes in the world. To be built at Aston Martin's U.K. global headquarters at Gaydon, the DBS joins the current Aston Martin DB9, along with the V8 Vantage Coupe and Roadster (launched earlier this year). The company's Rapide four-door, which is under development, is likely right behind the DBS. Deliveries of the DBS are expected to begin early next year, with final pricing to be confirmed during the car's auto show debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. |
