The fascinating story of the Aston Martin DBS
The Aston Martin DBS is an iconic sports car from the British automaker Aston Martin. The vehicle is the second generation produced from 2007. The Aston Martin DBS is based on the design of the Aston Martin DB9 but combines greater power and improved dynamic capabilities. In terms of design, the Aston Martin DBS stands out with its more aggressive lines, carbon fiber elements, and lowered suspension components. Powering the Aston Martin DBS is a 6.0-liter V12 engine delivering 510 horsepower and capable of accelerating the car from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. This model offers exceptional performance while providing luxurious comfort. The engineers behind this model, including Chris Porritt and Marek Reichman, have made significant efforts to develop this elegant and powerful vehicle.
Technical highlights of the Aston Martin DBS
The Aston Martin DBS boasts numerous technical features that make it an outstanding sports car. The vehicle is equipped with an Adaptive Damping System (ADS) that adjusts the suspension tuning in real-time to provide both comfort and sports performance. Additionally, features such as traction control and anti-lock braking system (ABS) are integrated to ensure driving safety. The engine, a 6.0-liter V12, features a double overhead camshaft configuration (DOHC) and is capable of producing up to 510 horsepower and 570 Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque. These performance figures make the Aston Martin DBS one of the most powerful models in Aston Martin's history. The predecessor of this model was the Vanquish S, which also used a V12 engine but was less powerful and had fewer advanced technologies integrated.
