If there’s one thing that Aston Martin does better than almost any other car manufacturer on the market, it is releasing vehicles with truly drop-dead gorgeous looks and the Aston Martin DBS is one of its finest designs.
Perfectly combining flowing lines with sharp and aggressive edges, we think the DBS looks just as good, if not better, now than when it was first released. This particular example up for auction has a mere 13,000 miles (~21,000 km) on the clock and is one of the nicest we have come across.
The Bring A Trailer listing reveals this car was delivered new to Aston Martin of San Diego in 2009 and has previously spent time in Canada, Florida and Virginia prior to being acquired by the current owner in Concord, California. It is being sold with a car cover, window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, service records, an accident-free Carfax report and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
Adorning the exterior is a timeless shade of ‘Casino Royale’ and a paint protection film has been applied to the front bumper, hood, front fenders, headlights, and mirror housings to keep everything looking fresh. The car rolls on the factory 20-inch wheels with 245/35 front and 295/30 rear Pirelli P Zero tires.
The interior is upholstered in Obsidian black leather with white contrast stitching. Key features include power-adjustable and heated front seats, optional Piano Black trim, automatic climate control, personalized sill plates, a 13-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, and navigation.
The DBS is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V12 that produces 510 hp and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque and is coupled to a six-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels.
