Wonderful car! But I can't understand how it was so fast on the tight track being that heavy? They must have put Stig out there for days to get a splendid time (they're so patriotic). Does anyone know if Prodrive has had anything to do with this model?

I think 599 is better looking....DBS not too different from a DB9...

Dave Richards' Prodrive greenlighted the project, but the concept was long in the works before Prodrive showed up. The Bond DBS premiered at least a year before the Prodrive announcement, IIRC. Prodrive has also greenlighted the 4-door Rapide.

I agree, but the 599 doesn't look better by much.

I just love how purposeful the 599 looks.

The DBS and 599 should exchange gearboxes IMO.

Though, I wouldn't buy either.

I think the glass push-in key is pretty cool actually, the power beauty soul display...not so much. I think that is my only gripe aside from the power ranger leg.

Still can't really justify that price premium over the db9, I also think that the db9 looks better, the whole body kit thing just doesn't suit the Aston martin smooth image. But wouldn't exactly say no to one

I think the DBS looks beautiful - but it's still is connected to Ford, and that just eats me up inside. Same with Volvo/LR - I can see similarities...

I know, I just realized that! LOL

Guess that makes me more credible on Ford's engineering (or lackthereof)

i still think the vanq s is the best looking coupe ever, but because the dbs has the updated bits in and out, it'd be hard to pass up as it is the 2nd best looking coupe ever.

i love it. comfy, class, not in your face, but so in your face at the same time.

thx for sharing the vid!
