Introduction
Aston Martin has been building—and racing—passionate automobiles for nearly a century. Memorable cars such as the DBR1, DB2, DB5 and Vantage mix with racing names like Nurburgring, the French Grand Prix, Le Mans and Spa. The world’s most demanding customers ask for sophisticated high-performance sports cars from Aston Martin. Joining the DB9, V8 Vantage and V8 Vantage-Roadster in the 2008 model range, the Aston Martin DBS was built to slot above the DB9 and just below the track-dedicated thoroughbred DBR9. The chosen sports car of fictional British secret agent James Bond (and previewed in Casino Royale, the latest Bond movie), the DBS will be available to the public in early 2008.
Model Lineup
Built at Gaydon, Aston Martin’s global headquarters in the United Kingdom, there is one unique model in the DBS lineup. 
All share an identical powerplant, 20-inch wheels and sleek composite bodywork. Standard interior appointments include semi-aniline leather and Alcantera upholstery. Matrix alloy trim with Iridium Silver finish on the center console complete the interior. Standard sport seats are heated, with 10-way electric adjustments.
