ASTON MARTIN DBS (2008) // Manual V12 Casino Royale Clone

Aston Martin DBS review and drive. This DBS is a clone of the Daniel Craig - James Bond car in Casino Royale and it's more hard-core than many people might think. So how does it measure up as a real performance car when driven enthusiastically. Come along for the ride with Stu as Mark gives it a workout. Real review, real drivers, real roads.

Gents, your best review yet, great insight, perfect humour and what a machine. I hope you get lots of views. Good luck with the channel. As for the DBS, having been lucky enough to drive one I agree with all you’ve said, and for those who say there are faster cars, that’s true, but especially in a country with strict speeding enforcement this Aston will eat your licence for breakfast! Thankfully it’s so beautiful and effortless you can still love it at 30kmh.

Probably the prettiest car ever made. Ever.

By far and still to this day THE best looking Aston Martin and best Bond car. Period

Astons from the era are just sublime and we forget that the DBR9 was very successful on track. I was lucky enough to experience 007, 008 & 009 on track at Le Mans sometime in the noughties, which was fantastic and a rare opportunity to be patriotic in an environment were such flagrant nationalism was perfectly acceptable, encouraged and enjoyed by all. A DBS manual is unfortunately a very rare car and not one that will be experienced by many so thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience.

Pleased to see you back! DBS is a great car. I had the V12 Vantage for 5 years. Loved it, but the suspension was just too firm for anything but spirited driving. I considered buying a DBS with its adjustable suspension - but instead went for the practicality of a 911. Currently, I have my eye on a 550 Maranello. Have you had a chance to compare that to the DBS?

You guys are hilarious! DBS like this is an absolute dream, think the manuals will go down as one of the best Astons of the modern era.

Fantastic informative & light handled video on the beautiful am DBS.
How did you both feel the car performed with nearly 40k miles on it, compared to a similar machine with under 20k on?
Also, given your preference to the manual, any thoughts on the auto?
Keep up the good eork

Thanks guys, great review, gorgeous spec and fantastic sound track.
However that gearshift looks incredibly awkward or is just camera position?

[Waspfella]

Simply an exciting and magnificent car. Hopefully this V12 doesn't develop the dreaded engine tick a little later in it's life.

Someday THE LADY will return and show people that she still has a lot left in her.

Sorry, meant to add.
Preferred choice between am DBS manual or against am v12v/s?
