Aston Martin DBS

A car so gorgeous, you wont even mind to look whats inside the bonnet. Designed on the lines of Ian Callums design language, this is just perfect for any individual with a lot of money and style. And its association with James Bond only makes it better. Not to say its a slouch underneath, though. With 510 hp to blow you mind and 570 nm torques to keep you tiny pieces flying in the air, this car has what it takes to be a proper sports car. But doesnt do that, nor does it want to be a lean mean sports car. This ones a grand tourer. Which means you can comfortably drive this piece of moving art, or blow the heck out of it on a racetrack. This car is based on the DB9, which replaced the Aston Martin Vantage.
