Aston Martin DBS

What is your favourite car of all time?

Styled by William Towns, the DBS was introduced in September 1967 as a 'next generation' replacement for DB6. Despite a new body, the mechanicals were basically the same as the DB6 MkII since Tadek Marek's new V8 engine, for which the DBS was prepared, was not ready in time. Some 200lbs heavier than a DB 6 Mk II, performance of the DBS inevitably suffered. Nevertheless the 140mph top speed and 0-60 in under 8 seconds could hardly be considered inadequate. Among the plus points for the DB S were a larger interior and a generally higher level of refinement. DBS production amounted to 790 cars built between October 1967 and May 1972 before being replaced by the DBS V8.
