The 2009 DBS promises the best performance yet in a production Aston Martin model, with a zero-to-60-mph time of only 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph.

All that go is courtesy of Aston’s familiar V12 engine from the DB9 and V12 Vanquish models-here 5.9 liters and making 510 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.

At 3480lbs, Aston Martin DBS is a surprisingly light car especially considering the fact that it packs a 6.0L V12 that puts out 510HP. With a standard 6-speed transmission, it’s a real drivers car so its not like those new sissy-Ferraris with their sequential flappy-paddle gearbox.

For all those who were fans of the Astons of old, cutting edge suspension technology like double-wishbones all around, electronic dampening and anti-squat/anti-dive management sound more like they should be on a Ferrari or BMW than a “proper English drivers car.”
