The DBS name was revived from a grand tourer model of the late-1960s when Aston Martin introduced a new flagship model in 2004 to take the place of the Vanquish. The sleek, swept lines of the DBS hark back to the American muscle cars of the 1970s. But its quintessentially English character was forged when one was first seen being driven by Daniel Craig when he played James Bond in the 2006 remake of Casino Royale, then returned two years later in the main chase sequence for the next film in the series, Quantum of Solace. These associations helped the DBS achieve sales of 3,400. The cars were built at the Aston factory in Gaydon, Warwickshire, while the engine comes from the company's Cologne, Germany plant.
The engine is a six-litre, all-alloy V12 unit, linked to a six-speed manual or optional six-speed auto gearbox, which was also used in Aston's DBR9 and DBRS9 racing cars. The DBS has an adaptive damping system, designed to marry the driver's chosen driving mode with the road and weather conditions. It can also tighten up the throttle and brake responses and sharpen the steering to help the driver feel completely in control at all times. Carbon ceramic brakes also help cut the car's weight further, saving a significant 28lbs (12.5kg) over their more conventional equivalents. Critics said this model was "the optimal DB9" and "Aston's greatest GT to date", most at home as a fast, long-distance cruiser with, according to Autocar, "bags of V12 character, an extravagant cabin and right quality that is right up there with anything north of £100k."
