The new 2009 Aston Martin DBS defines what performance luxury should mean for an automobile. The styling is sleek, aggressive and elegant, while the engine that powers it growls beneath. The DBS packs a 510 hp, 6.0 liter V-12 engine, pushing 0-60 in 4.3 and a top speed of 191mph. While the engine is hand built in Germany, the rest of the DBS is hand assembled in the UK. Since 1963, when the Aston Martin DB5 shared the screen with James Bond himself, Aston Martin has continued its mark of rich, refined cool to the modern day.
