Road and Track - Road Test: 2009 Aston Martin DBS
















When you think of Aston Martin, what immediately comes to mind? Is it British design and engineering, superior craftsmanship and materials? Or maybe it's sports-car racing heritage and grand touring at their finest? Thanks to a long history, we know now that all Astons possess these attributes to a certain degree. But what about the new flagship road car, the DBS?

To answer that question, we need to know a little bit about the Aston Martin lineup. At the bottom is the V8 Vantage, then the DB9 and finally the DBS. Their differences lie in engine and size, but they are all fantastically competent real-world machines. Track days, commuting, touring, a night out on the town — they take it in stride. All three offer an ear-tingling exhaust note, responsive chassis feedback and a unique and sumptuous interior, each clothed in a body shape that's instantly recognizable. The DB9 even has rear seats!
