Aston Martin DBS

The Aston Martin DBS is a super sport car manufactured by the British. The DBS has been launched in India in two variants viz. Aston Martin DBS 6L V12 Coupe and the Aston Martin DBS Volante. The Volante is a convertible model of the DBS. And even with the roof up, the Volante keeps up the coupe like profile of the car. The DBS Volante has a trendy retractable soft-top and it also uses very minimum of trunk space. The roof can be raised or lowered in just 14 seconds at speeds of upto 30 mph. Also, it is a very cool car in itself as it has been associated with James Bond for almost four decades. The DBS is based on the model Aston Martin DB9 which was very successful. The gear knob of the DBS is a chunky piece of metal and makes you feel that you have got something amazing in your hand. Also the Aston Martin DBS produces 60bhp more than the DB9.
