Aston Martin dbs v12

2011-07-26T08:21:00.000-07:00

Say you want about the DBS V12 Volante but in our book, Aston Martin’s fastest-ever production convertible is a complete stunner. Revealed for the first allotted period at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show this past March, the soft top variant of Aston’s beefy DBS combines a beautifully sculptured body by a 6.0-liter V12 engine that punches out a hefty 510 horsepower and 570 Nm or 420 lb-ft of torque.

The 2+2 rear-wheel drive sports car tops out at 191mph or 307 km/h and completes the 0-100 km/h (62mph) sprint in just 4.3 seconds.

If you’re among those very scarcely any that can absolutely afford the DBS Volante, Aston Martin gives you the choice of a six-speed manual gearbox that’s mounted at the rear, or optionally, a ‘lazy’ six-speed Touchtronic automatic transmission.

But until you figure deficient in a track to convince your wife that owning an Aston Martin is so much better that having your own kindred or if you stumble upon a fat patrimony, flick through our new high-res gallery of the DBS Volante and fancy on.

Aston Martin’s 700-horsepower One-77 is to cars as John Steed is to civil servants — a proper English gent quite capable of kicking your ass without so much as breaking a sweat.

The super-exclusive, super-expensive supercar unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show seamlessly blends top-shelf luxury with race-car engineering to create what may be the finest automobile the quintessentially British firm has ever produced.

Of course, for $1.4 million, it damn well ought to be.

Aston Martin spared no expense with the One-77, so named because just 77 will be handbuilt at the factory in Gaydon, and says it represents the culmination of all the company has learned since its founding in 1913.

“Quite simply, it had to be the ultimate expression of Aston Martin,” company chief executive Ulrich Bez said in a statement. “As you can now see, we have achieved that goal in magnificent style.”

Indeed.

While the One-77’s funky ducts, oversize headlights and ribbed sides will prompt debate among aesthetes, few can deny the car’s mechanical beauty. Aston’s engineers looked long at hard at the hardcore race cars of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series when designing the One-77, and the car is packed with race-car technology. “We wanted to create something that wows you as much when you see what’s under the skin as the exterior styling itself,” said Chris Porritt, who led the car’s development.

The handformed aluminum body rests on a carbon fiber monocoque cradling a 7.3-liter V12 engine developed by Cosworth. Aston Martin is still nailing down the final figures but is quite confident the engine will produce at least 700 horsepower in production trim. Look for a zero to 60 time in the mid-three-second range and a top speed just north of 200 mph, although asking so basic a question as “What’ll she do?” is, as the Times found out, a touch vulgar.

“It goes fast enough,” Bez told the British paper during the show, with what we imagine was just a touch of indignation.

Power, the old advertising slogan goes, is nothing without control, so the One-77 features a fully adjustable suspension with pushrod-activated dampers. All those ponies flow through a six-speed paddle-shifted transmission developed exclusively for the One-77 and they are reined in with carbon-ceramic brake rotors.

The car was billed as the most expensive automobile on the planet when it was announced last year, but a slump in the value of the Sterling means the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 will retain the title. Aston Martin may be going through the same rough time as the rest of the auto industry, but Bez says the company has received “expressions of interest” from 250 potential buyers around the globe. It seems there are at least 77 people with the means to drop £1 million — $1.4 million at today’s exchange rate — on a car.

Let’s cut to the chase, shall we? James Bond will be forever linked with Aston Martin. While many other marques have come and gone, it is no coincidence that the first and last of Bond’s films have made this automotive circle complete. Perfection of the vintage and modern order.

Now, don’t expect a comparison here, good folk. Instead, we would merely like to draw your attention to the two Astons featured here, in all of their cinematic and real life glory. Because the alluring truth of it all is that you can today buy either of Bond’s cars. Really, you can. And while one will set you back an estimated $5 million at auction, the other is available for a mere $265,000. Clearly, your poker skills had better be up to scratch and Le Chiffre busy worrying about the $100 million he owes…

Jeff, thanks for posting the article. I hope readers click through to the complete original post on AutomotiveTraveler.com. (It can be found at http://bit.ly/fPQQE5, scroll down to click on the full feature, it’s currently third from the top)The thing about this car, in spite of its condition, is if it’s bought right, even with the expected costs of restoration, the new owner has a chance of not being underwater at the end of the project. DB4, DB5, and DB6 Aston Martins have appreciated faster than most their direct competitors, due in part to the James Bond connection so it will be interesting to see what the gavel price is when the dust settles.

My wife grew up in the outskirts of Ann Arbor, MI out in the country. Their neighbor had a medium sized old barn that was just fill with old vehicles. I was never inside it but one day the doors were open and w/ use of binoculars I could see a number of old muscle cars. The in-laws said in the 15 years they lived there they never saw any of the cars get driven.
