I am pretty surprised that Aston Martin kept the same amount of horsepower in the DBS compared to the Vanquish S.

One thing the DBS looks amazing from the outside.

I can't wait to see this happen on Top Gear. America/Japan vs Britain (Lexus LF-A vs. Aston Martin DBS)

5.0 L V10 vs 5.9L V12

One of the best looking cars, ever.

Slightly O/T: James Bond cars should all be like this, instead of POS Fords and what not.

The DBS was in Casino Royale. I was so sad that we only got to see about 15 minutes of it in the movie until he totaled it. :(

Oh yes, it was. But we've also seen some pretty crappy cars in the other Bond movies. Okay, back on-topic. :)

I guess Clarkson is right. That Vanquish interior is pure rubbish. :D

Not sure how comfortable it is to run in a suit. How about you test out your method of running and their method of running in the movies and give us your conclusion :p
