Aston Martin DBS

A car so gorgeous, you won't even mind to look what's inside the bonnet. Designed on the lines of Ian Callum's design language, this is just perfect for any individual with a lot of money and style. And its association with James Bond only makes it better. Not to say its a slouch underneath, though. With 510 hp to blow you mind and 570 nm torques to keep you tiny pieces flying in the air, this car has what it takes to be a proper sports car. But doesn't do that, nor does it want to be a lean mean sports car. This one's a grand tourer. Which means you can comfortably drive this piece of moving art, or blow the heck out of it on a racetrack. This car is based on the DB9, which replaced the Aston Martin Vantage.
