    Re: Aston Martin DBS

    elegeant style is killed in my opinion, I like the base car better.

    Re: Aston Martin DBS

    I don't particularly like the wheels, it does look a lot more aggressive than the base car...in a ricer-ish kind of way

    Re: Aston Martin DBS

    I absolutely love this car and would buy it, however, its the price that doesn't make sense. $30-$40K more I'm ok with, but if this car is going to be $100,000 more than DB9 its not worth it. Looks like a low mileage used one is the best option a year or so down the road.

    The big problem with the DBS according to the new bond movie is that they roll easier than an SUV in a high speed lane change

    Its a DBRS9, it available to purchase, but its big bucks. Factory, purpose built racer. Sorta like the F430GT that Risi Competizione races in the American Le Mans series.

    Supposedly the body panels on the DBS are all carbon fiber so you should at least lose 200lbs from its standard weight, but yes its still heavy. Its still a gentlemen's racer.

    You are a bit stupid, don't you? You really think that a car like that would make all those roles just when it does a turn? The movie car was equiped with hydraulics and a special suspension just to do that role. When the car does a turn the suspension impulses one side of the car so it can roles in that way...

    Aston dealer information (not official) about the DBS:

    1. 500 hp+
    2. extensive use of carbon fibre
    3. 100 kg lighter than a DB9
    4. Production starts in October 2007
    5. 500 cars to be produced each year
    6. Not a Vanquish replacement (even though Vanquish production ends soon)

    They anticipate the following:

    1. 200 mph+
    2. 0-60 mph in 4 seconds
    3. Pounds150k-Pounds160k

    So, you understate you car's sound by claiming that it sounds better than anything else? I'd like to see you overstate the sound .
