In terms of its styling, the DBS was clearly a development of the DB9 but with the additions of a carbon fibre front splitter and carbon fibre rear diffuser among others. State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques were employed in making the aluminium/composite body, which was robotically assembled using a combination of self-piercing rivets and adhesive. The aluminium chassis is known as the 'VH Generation 2' platform, 'VH' referring to its vertical and horizontal adaptability.
The DBS was powered by a development of the 5.9-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine found in other Aston Martin models, producing 510bhp initially, an output sufficient to propel the aerodynamic coupé to a top speed of 305km/h (190mph) in manual transmission form, with 60mph attainable from a standing start in a neck-snapping 4.3 seconds. The aluminium engine was mounted as far back as possible in the chassis, while the transmission/final drive was combined in a rear transaxle, resulting in 85% of the car's mass being sited between the axles and a perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, with commensurate benefits to handling, roadholding and controllability.
Transmission options were a six-speed manual or six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' paddle-shift semi-automatic, while the striking 20" wheels were considered by some to be the best looking on any Aston Martin.
Built to Swiss specification and finished in Amethyst Red with Cream Truffle leather interior, this DBS was purchased new by the current vendor and comes with a copy of Aston Martin's invoice for £167,215 stating that it is 'The first European left hand drive DBS Coupe with automatic transmission'. Specification highlights include the following: auto-dimming rear view mirror; high-spec alarm; first aid kit; and a smokers kit. Offered from an extensive private collection, the car has been dry stored since acquisition and benefits from recent recommissioning by Stratton Motor Company. The car also comes with a photocopy Swiss Carte Grise.
