FM7 Aston Martin DBS cinematic test drive.

If you watched the James Bond film Casino Royale, you’ll remember the first time you laid eyes on the Aston Martin DBS coupe. The most famous fictional British spy spooled up the 6-liter V12, based upon the unit found in the DBRS9 racecar, and charged off in hot pursuit of the evil Le Chiffre, only to crest a small hill and find a beautiful woman tied up and laying in the middle of the road. Only James Bond could survive the resulting cartwheeling crash that utterly destroyed the svelte coupe. It was a shame the Aston had to take one on the chin, because the DBS is one of the most beautiful cars on the road. In the grand Aston Martin tradition, the extremely limited-production DBS combines an unparalleled handcrafted interior with serious performance credentials. In case you didn’t think the DBS was unique enough already, the key fob is topped with polished stainless steel and finished with sapphire crystals. And you thought super-spies preferred to keep a lower profile.
