On Her Majesty’s Secret Service DBS Superleggera

Yup, that's the full proper name of the model, and it takes inspiration from the '69 DBS George Lazenby drove in the movie of the same name. As a hardcore Jame Bond fan, I've always thought the movie got a bad rap, as it's a great entry in the franchise. Check out all the details on the latest Aston here!

Those wheels look like a chore to clean.

The mouth is slightly less like a sea creature than the standard DBS, but those wagon wheels are garish.

Yeah, can't say I like the wheels either. Can't imagine too many owners will clean them personally though, ha ha ha!

Their second and third owners will, though! It seems like the original owners are a very different clientele and culture (and age?) than the subsequent owners. An example is how low the order rate was for manual transmissions versus how desirable they are in the secondary market. The late-model Ferraris with a manual can add a $70-$200k premium. The very last ones made get twice that.

Try as I might, I cannot love the design of this car. Aston has gotten its proportions all wrong with the grill size.

No thank you,even if I had that kind of money. I gat why they are looking to do with the wheels. Make a contemporary wire wheel look.
Now a DB 5 continuation, Yes please.
