Aston Martin DBS Touchtronic Debuts in L.A.














Ever since we first saw the car in action with James Bond at the wheel, we wondered how Aston Martin could improve its DBS sports car. Well, it seems the engineers at Gaydon have already found a way and mustered up a few improvements for its newly released flagship. Included in the mix is a revised Touchtronic transmission, an available 2+2 seating configuration, a high-power state-of-the-art Bang & Olufsen stereo system, and revised wheel options. Since its inception at last year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Aston Martin offered the DBS only with a six-speed, close-ratio gearbox. After some necessary reworking of the ZF-built Touchtronic transmission used by the DB9, engineers implemented the six-speed automatic into the bigger DBS.
