Description
Legendary car brands. One quickly thinks of Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and so on. From England especially Bentley, Rolls Royce and last bus not least Aston Martin. This top British brand has a turbulent history. Aston Martin was already building cars before the Second World War. Even won the 24 Hours of Le Mans with it. It went bankrupt several times, only to be rescued by new investors just as many times. Real fame only came from 1947 onwards, when David Brown (hence DB) took over the estate and breathed new life into the marque with the DB1 and later the DB2/4. A marketing move of legendary proportions, was when Sean Connery launched the just-introduced DB5, in the James Bond film Goldfinger. This was a luxury sporty GT that competed with the Maserati´s, Ferrari´s, Bentleys of the time, among others. From then on, Aston Martin became a permanent part of the great brands of the world and were forever intertwined with the DNA of James Bond, to this day. Through many wanderings, Ford eventually took charge of the legendary car brand. Perhaps the best thing that happened to Aston Martin. From that time, under the inspiring leadership of top designer Ian Callum, the illustrious models such as the DB7, the Vanquish,, the V8 vantage, the DB9, the DBS and later the DB11 date back to those days.
Selected Classics is proud to announce that we currently have a stunning 2008 DBS in our collection. A truly stunning deep black metallic example, with the coveted carbon package, in which the front spoiler, diffuser, mirror supports and a number of interior inserts are finished in naked carbon fibre. The twenty-inch original Aston Martin dual spoke rims with top Pirelli rubber complete the picture. It is fair to say that this is one of the most beautiful high-end Grand Tourismos ever built. This car, especially in this condition and version, thrills anyone with a car heart. Built by hand, with materials and finish rarely seen in the modern car world. Even the interior with the aforementioned carbon inserts, the perfect sports seats upholstered in leather and alcantara and all of this in a design as only Aston Martin can. That almost everything is standard on top of that speaks for itself. The most important things in a row: Carbon interior and exterior package, bi xenon lighting, full map navigation with hard disk, premium audio, leather, alcantara and carbon, throughout the entire interior as far as the eye can see, parking sensors all around, fully electrically adjustable sports seats with memory, adjustable active shock absorbers, cruise control, climate control and so on. She has been cherished by her previous two owners that you can see from everything. Only very minor signs of use with demonstrably only 80,000 kilometres in 14 years. All maintenance on time and kilometres documented performed at the Aston Martin dealer as it should be.
Correspondingly good drive this Aston. Shifting with the very rare 6-speed manual transmission, clutching, steering, braking, it all feels like new. And then the heart of this fantastic GT. First of all: forget everything you have heard so far in terms of engine sound. Nothing compares to this V12. And then not so much the volume, which by the way is clearly present, but not excessive. Hard to describe in words. Warm, deep, menacing in the low revs to transition into a turbine-like roar in the mid-range to a somewhat muted racing sound in the high revs. So carefully composed, unique and incomparable. Not even with Lamborghini and Ferrari which often sound a little too flashy. This is spot on. Addictive too. Once all the fluids are up to temperature, which with this engine volume does take a while, this work of engineering pulls through to 6000 rpm. On a twisty B road in both long and short turnarounds, experiencing how this GT lies like on rails, with the sensitive and quite direct steering, this sports car shrinks around you and at some point you no longer realise you are underway in a nearly 5-metre-long coupe. That 518 hp on 1680 kg of driveable weight makes for lively acceleration goes without saying, yet it is of lesser importance. It is mainly the look and feel that matters. Once you smoothly couple and shift gears and get into a flow with this machine, you know you are privileged to own one of the very best Gt´s in the world. Now a unique opportunity to get your hands on a stunning DBS in the right condition and trim, for far less than half the new price.
