Aston Martin DBS Test Drive

At first glance, the DBS comes across as little more than a DB9 ‘special edition’ with a loud bodykit and a few extra horses under the hood. However Aston Martin is adamant that the DBS is a completely different car, at least in character and feel, if not styling. In fact, the DBS has all the ingredients for a brutal sports car rather than a Grand Tourer: a hand built V12 engine with 517 horsepower, upgraded suspension from the DB9, ceramic brakes, huge 20” tires that are 245/35 at the front and 295/30 at the rear and a stability control system with a track mode.

Compare this Aston Martin to the Nissan GT-R and tell me which car you would rather have?

The answer is easy BTW.

IMHO the DBS never gave off the "this is a flagship supercar"feel, really to me it's just a DB9 with a tacky bodykit.

Anybody with me on this one?

I very much agree with you!...They should have just named it DB9-S... Aston Martin models are all beautiful but look almost identical. Don't call it a different model if you couldn't tell them apart from 50 feet.
