As soon as the brains at Aston Martin made their exquiste DBS sports tourer – they gave it to James Bond. While this may be a good way of previewing a car that had never been seen in the past, they also forgot one vital plot line: Bond tends to destroy everything he touches. Not only did he total the DBS in Casino Royale, he did it a Quantum of Solace.
Thankfully, Aston Martin have seen sense – previewing next year’s 6.0 litre V12 Vantage at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. The brand new high performance sports car is not only faster than Bond’s DBS, reaching 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 190mph, it’s the most agile Aston ever built.
