What We Know

The 2010 Aston Martin DBS is described as a cross between a road car (DB9) and a racecar (DBR9). The two-seater's 6.0-liter V12 develops an ample 510 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque enough to propel the DBS from zero to 60 in less than 4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 191 mph. The lightweight DBS is the first-production Aston to use carbon-fiber body panels. It is also fitted with adaptive dampers, carbon-ceramic brakes and a bonded-aluminum inner body structure.

What Edmunds.com says

A formidable car when it comes to the spec sheet, but its similarities to the DB9 make it hard to consider a true flagship.
