The DBS is equipped with an all-aluminum 6.0-liter V-12 hand built engine. The DBS produces 510 bhp at 6500 rpm. As it should, comes with a manual transmission mounted out back, right in front of the rear axle. This affords two benefits: more leg space for the driver and passenger and better weight distribution. Aston Martin considers the DBS a "mid-front engine" design. A large metal shift knob operates the 6-speed gearbox. This serves to let everyone know that the driver is in charge of controlling the engine-to-wheel speed ratio in this vehicle. The transmission shifts very easily and positively, with short and light throws. As we are fond of all things light, the chassis is made of multiple pieces of cast, extruded and pressed aluminum that are bonded together to form a lightweight and rigid structure. Carbon fiber is used liberally throughout the car, for both function and style. The driveshaft, door handles, front fascia, hood, door surrounds, diffuser, boot lid and boot enclosure are all made of carbon fiber, while the rest of the bodyshell is aluminum. In all, the DBS weighs 3480 lb., giving it a very favorable power-to-weight ratio.
This pristine handpicked example, offered by Gator Motorsport, has been meticulously cared for. With extremely low mileage, this vehicle is in excellent condition and has not seen any paint or body work and has no imperfections. This vehicle is as clean as, or cleaner than when it was delivered new. Available in 27 colors, Casino Royale is by far one of the best, and most established colors with a rich heritage. The interior of the DBS comes in Obsidian Black with Alacantara Semi-Aniline Leather Seat Trim. The seat bolsters show no wear and the carpets are in excellent condition. The front bumper, bonnet, side skirts, rear quarters, and rear bumper are all protected by a clear bra. All four wheels are in excellent condition with no scrapes. The vehicle comes with two keys and original owner's manual.

Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014
Sun, 27 Oct 2013While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month, Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar, Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 - a claim denied by the Japanese automaker.
Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year).
Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine, which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
