Aston Martin DBS
The DBS is back this year, replacing the Vanquish. It is equipped with a twin-turbo V12 that produces no less than 715 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 338 km/h. Qualified as the absolute Aston Martin by the brand itself, the DBS flaunts a muscular body, a lavishly trimmed cockpit and thrilling driving dynamics. Obviously, customization options are limited only by the buyers’ budget.
