Aston Martin DBS

I have a conntact in the Aston Martin Motor Group who gave me this car as a gift recently. Very good in terms of perfofmance, however the interior is the best I have seen. Subtle colours look much better on this car that brighter ones.

This is the car that will replace the Vanquish. Info is now available at the AM website. The car will sell for around $250k with about 200 to be made a year. and for this reason, I highly doubt Mr. Christopher Turner down there received one as a gift... no matter who he knows. I have however, been considering placing a deposit for a DBS. Truely a gorgeous car.

Looking forward to getting mine

This is one of the most beautiful cars that I've ever seen. I am a disabled veteran so that income rules me out of being able to buy one, and unlike mr Turner, I dont have anyone on the inside.I wish AM would have some kind of giveway contest, I might get lucky, and win one.

For some reason, I just don't see this car as...practical for the "new" Bond. The thing I appreciated about Brosnan's era was he had DB5 sports car for just messing around but MI6 would always furnish him with a sensible BMW. If you've seen the Transporter, the Bourne Identity, or the BMW Films, you really appreciate how spy-esque German sedans actually are. What would be wrong with Bond having the DB5, since we know how he got it this time, and MI6 giving him an M5 or S6 or E63 AMG? It would be more, I guess believable to me than him destroying a rare DBS every movie.

By the way, if you're looking for an exciting TV spot of this car, Fifth Gear will let you down. Tiff loves every car so he's only going to tell you the good bits about it. If you want something that will keep your attention for more than five seconds, check out Top Gear's cover of it. Jeremy Clarkson tells the good, the bad, and everything in between. Much better footage too.

Will Bond use the new AM V12 Vantage for Bond 23???

my comment for the aston martin DBS is that its one of my favorite car in the world, i have always been wisihng this car since the first time i have seen my first james bond movie....

Here's an interesting video about some of the Bond cars. There's not much info about the DBS but it is good to know that the cars are all intact and preserved.

I wish that Bond would drive a Dodge Challenger or a Dodge Charger instead of destroying a beautiful car like the Aston Martin.

Does anyone know the exactly given colour name for this dark grey version of the DBS in quantum of solace?

does anyone know where i can customize my car to add the accessories like on the Astin Martin, where bond has an extra shirt, things like that?

Oddly enough, the color of the Aston used in Quantum of Solace was called Quantum Silver. I'm not sure if it's the same color used in Casino Royale, because Aston named the color after the movie, but they look very similar. But as for Bond using a Challenger or Charger...how rediculous would that be...a quote from The Hangover comes to mind when I think about that, "You are litteraly too stupid to insult." Next I'm just waiting for someone to say Bond should use the Aston Martin Cygnet next...how dumb.

I've loved the Bond cars since I was a boy and of course I love the Astons the most. Always wanted one, ever since I saw James Bond driving one but I have to say the DBS is a little too flashy for my taste.

I know that makes me sound like an old guy, and I suspect that's kind of the point. It's supposed to appeal to younger men, I suppose. But it's on the verge of brash, power and looks wise, and to me is just this side of tasteful. I am uncomfortably reminded of the Subaru Impreza. God forbid someone should put a spoiler on one.

No for me the straight DB9 has it all. Smooth, classic lines, an iconic curvy auto with utilitarian muscularity but city smart good looks.

Like a killer in a smart suit. Don't be brash, keep it in reserve.
