Austin Martin DBS

Austin Martin DBS

Once more here’s an example on how truly amazing the designers are at Aston Martin. The look obviously takes after the DB9, but with sportier lines that underline the sport pedigree of our supercar. Perfect? Well almost, and many will argue Aston Martin’s choice when it comes to the tail lights. As far as we are concerned, white was an interesting choice.

If you ever sat in a DB9, the DBS will be not feel different to you with the exception of some materials like these beautiful fiber carbon parts that you find time to time. Still, we had a hard time with the black lacquered dashboard, indeed elegant, but with a tendency to reflect sunlight too often and blinding the driver. Another minus was the use of this fancy car’s key that must be plugged into the into the dashboard to start our beast’s monstrous V12 engine. If aesthetically the key is a pure wonder, it tended too often to self eject itself and damaged our press car’s gear leaver.

Less effective than the Vanquish, and mean in sensations, the DBS lacks of character. Nonetheless, the DBS offers stunning sensations, underline with a great feeling of safety thanks to its ceramic brakes. More technically advanced than the DB9, the DBS is also more efficient on the road. We also recommend any future DBS owners to not even bother turning on the in-car HiFi system. Thanks to its V12 and a tuned exhaust line, the DBS has one of the most amazing engine noise we have ever experienced… It’s truly a pleasure hearing the V12 revving up.
