Reviving a famous model name from Aston Martin's past, the DBS was based on the DB9 and replaced the outgoing Vanquish S in 2008 as the company's top-of-the-range supercar. Before then, the world got a mouth-watering preview when a DBS appeared in Casino Royale (2006), Daniel Craig's debut in the role of James Bond. The DBS also appeared in the opening sequence of Quantum of Solace, the follow up film released in 2008.

In styling terms, the DBS was clearly a development of the DB9 but with the additions of a carbon fibre front splitter and rear diffuser among others. State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques were employed in making the aluminium/composite body, which was robotically assembled using a combination of self-piercing rivets and adhesive. The aluminium chassis is known as the 'VH Generation 2' platform, 'VH' referring to its vertical and horizontal adaptability.

The DBS was powered by a development of the 6.0-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine found in other Aston Martins, producing 510bhp initially, an output sufficient to propel the aerodynamic coupé to a top speed of 305km/h (190mph) in manual transmission form, with 60mph attainable from a standing start in a neck-snapping 4.3 seconds. The aluminium engine was mounted as far back as possible in the chassis, while the transmission/final drive was combined in a rear transaxle, resulting in 85% of the car's mass being sited between the axles and a perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, with commensurate benefits to handling, roadholding and controllability. Transmission options were a six-speed manual or six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' paddle-shift semi-automatic, while the striking 20" wheels were considered by some to be the best looking on any Aston Martin.

Inside the DBS one finds the typically elegant, luxurious and supremely comfortable hand crafted interior traditionally associated with Aston Martin, featuring primarily wood and leather trim as well as the latest in modern technology, subtly deployed. Production ceased in 2012.

Our vendor purchased this DBS new in January 2010, since when it has been dry stored as part of his extensive private collection.

The car is finished in Rosso Corsa with Chancellor Red and Ivory leather/Alcantara interior. In addition to the generous standard specification, this car was delivered with the following options: Special paint; Alcantara seat inserts; Carpet colour – Fast Track; Steering wheel – Black; Facia trim – Piano Black; 10-spoke Diamond Turner Silver wheels; Bright finish grille; Front wheel stone guards; Brake calliper finish (Black); Heated rfont screen; Smokers pack; Auto dimming interior rear view mirror; First Aid kit; Integrated DSM telephone.
