The Aston Martin DBS first appeared in 1967 and remained in production until it was phased out by the Aston Martin V8 in 1972. It wasn’t until 2007 that the DBS showed its face again, and the second time around seemed to be the turning point for the grand tourer, benefiting from five successful years on the market. Now, Aston Martin is working on the new generation DB9 which will eventually give way to a refreshed DBS. The new DBS, set to be launched in late 2012, will receive a revised front grille and bumpers, fresh body side styling, and a revised cockpit. Expect to see an exterior inspired by the One-77 supercar, with its borrowed bonnet, sides, and cooling vents. These elements will help transform the elegant DBS into a more aggressive sports car. As for the power behind this beast, a 6.0-liter V12 engine will still find its way under the hood of the sports car, but will get tweaked to deliver about 530 HP (up 20 HP from the current model). The added power will be put to better use now that the VH platform is dropping about 10-15% of its weight, bringing it down to about 3,300 pounds. Current Aston Martin DBS pictured .
12 comments: Aston Martin DBS Preview This is absolutely a teaser! Well, I will surely wait for the official outlook of this vehicle, and even though I still didn’t have an authentic detail, I must say that I already love the fact that it has a nice and powerful engine!
The picture above is really a teaser! I love the design on its front hood, very attractive on that. Well, I will surely wait for this DBS, and I am looking forward to finding out the other great features that this vehicle has.
DBS is truly looks so striking on its aesthetic design, and its front was oozing with angst. I’m also glad that it had a powerful engine, which could really give on it an awesome speed performance.
I’m impressed with the concept and design. Very sporty and executive car. As of its benefits, guess you will received the best and powerful specification.
The looks of this DBS seem so aggressive! A V12 engine that can deliver 530 horsepower is I think quite impressive on it and can give a better performance. However, I’m just kind of curious if what will be the interior of this looks like.
The DBS car which was developed based on the DB9, is fully 5 years and I have to wait on 2015 for the re-designing of this model.
Another more 2 years to wait the DBS, i wanna test drive it for a 530 HP right away! I wanna see the DBS drive at full speed in the city with its elegance style and killer speed.
Yeah, I have to agree that it’s not that impressive. The v8 can produce that power output. I was impressed with the styling of the vehicle.
DBS is a top of a line vehicle of Aston Martin. However, for a v12 technology the figure performance of the car is kind of less powerful.
