Specifications

~$295,000
Engine: 5.9L naturally aspirated V12
Torque: 570 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.3 s
The Aston Martin DBS was introduced as the brand’s halo car—merging the elegance of the DB9 with sharper, motorsport-inspired performance. At its heart lay a 5.9-liter naturally aspirated V12, producing 517 horsepower in its most powerful form, the ultra-rare DBS UB-2010 Edition. Capable of reaching 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds, it combined classic GT charisma with modern-day urgency and poise.
Unlike the softer DB9, the DBS featured a lightweight carbon fiber hood, front splitter, rear diffuser, and optional carbon ceramic brakes. These elements not only saved weight but improved handling dynamics and high-speed stability. The car’s adaptive damping system and wider track offered a more athletic, planted driving experience, making it equally capable on Alpine passes and Autobahns.
Its styling was a dramatic evolution—more aggressive than the DB9, but still unmistakably Aston. Deep side strakes, vented hood, and a low-slung stance gave the DBS purposeful presence. Inside, it was lined with hand-finished leather, Alcantara, and exposed carbon fiber, wrapped around a cabin that emphasized both luxury and control. And with a starring role in James Bond: Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, the DBS carved out its place in cultural as well as automotive history—equal parts gentleman and brute.

Coupe & Volante (Convertible)
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
“DBS” resurrects a name first used in the late 1960s and early 1970s for Aston’s GT flagship. The 2007 DBS was envisioned as the ultimate blend of DB9 luxury and V8 Vantage aggression, engineered to offer more track-capable dynamics while preserving long-distance GT credentials. It also symbolized Aston Martin’s return to global prominence, shortly after its independence from Ford.
Model Name Meaning (Languages)
“DBS” follows the David Brown naming convention, continuing from the DB4–DB9 lineage. It is universally recognized and unaltered across languages and markets.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The DBS was offered in sophisticated shades like Casino Royale, Lightning Silver, Storm Black, Quantum Silver, and Morning Frost White. Special-order finishes from Q by Aston Martin included Hammerhead Silver, AML Racing Green, and Onyx Black with bronze flake. Volante versions were offered with matching or contrasting roof colors.
The interior featured full Bridge of Weir leather, Alcantara-wrapped sports seats, and exposed carbon fiber console trim. Colorways included Obsidian Black, Sandstorm, Chancellor Red, and Bitter Chocolate. Carbon fiber was also used on the splitter, diffuser, and mirror caps.
Standard wheels were 20" lightweight 10-spoke alloys, while graphite, diamond-turned, or satin black finishes were optional. Carbon ceramic brakes were standard, paired with Pirelli P-Zero tires.

vs Competitors
The DBS stood shoulder to shoulder with the Ferrari 599 GTB, Bentley Continental Supersports, and Porsche 911 Turbo S (997). While it lacked the razor-sharp lap times of a 599, it delivered a grander, more emotional drive, marked by the naturally aspirated V12 and a perfectly balanced chassis. It became the quintessential GT for those who valued analog feel, handmade luxury, and presence over numbers.
Fun Fact
The Aston Martin DBS was James Bond’s car of choice in Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace (2008). The infamous crash scene in Casino Royale set a Guinness World Record for the most cannon rolls by a car in a movie stunt — seven full barrel rolls, performed without CGI.
