PistonHeads caught the new Aston Martin DBS on the autobahn, in Germany. The new model will replace the Aston Martin Vanquish and will be unveiled this year, in October.

The new DBS will be powered by a 6.0 litre V12 engine with an output of 520 hp. Coupled with a weight loss of around 100kg, and the fitment of a six speed manual gearbox, the DBS is claimed to be the quickest production Aston ever.
