2008 Aston Martin DBS (Pics!!)

im_srini · 21st August 2007, 17:06

With Ford in trouble & in a hurry to off-load Aston Martin, Land Rover, & Volvo, and with Indian companies like Tata in the fray to acquire these brands, who knows - we could end up seeing more of them here in India ! I wonder how it would work out though... Imagine the Indicas & Safaris sharing parts with the Aston Martins & Land Rovers

Talking of super cars, I know Astons are said to be hand-built & all that, but seriously, cars costing hundreds of lakhs of rupees - are they really worth it ? I'm not against super cars, or anything, but the Veyron is like a million dollars (~410 lakhs), & it is said that VW actually spent 4 to 5 times that, per car, for development, tooling, & production ! It just seems like too much money...

Aston's already sold my friend. To a middle-eastern investment group and founder of Prodrive (guys that make the WRC Impreza)

Ooooo sooperhot! Been waiting to see the DBS in final form for quite some time now and it has surely not dissappointed aston fans.

Beautiful. Very Simple, elegant yet sporty and macho. This is one car which i would love to drive to work and to the race track. Love the lines and curves and very sporty interiors.

And the photography... thats another work of art.

Real fotos from aston's foto release is what the folks at autoblog say so i'd say they're real. Btw guys there's a link for the DBS on aston martins official website (fyi)

The Car exudes elegance and class to say the least.
And the detailing on the gauges.
I know which is my next car..... in my dreams

Uhm... i wonder if i'll get flamed considering the way everyone's drooling over the car...

Im sorry, but i can't imagine that a DB9 woudn't be just as good looking. The price premium this commands over the DB9 is just stupid.
Regardless, it's without a doubt an extremely beautiful car, but as i said, i can't imagine that the DB9 would look any less pretty.

Exactly my thoughts.I would rather by a DB9 and still be happy because I bought a car which looks equally good and I would have saved 100000$.
