About the DBS
The DBS was launched in 2007 and is Aston Martin's ultimate GT sports car. Benefitting from weight saving materials including aluminium and carbon fibre; the DBS offers dynamic and aesthetic purity, an exquisite interior and a driving experience unsurpassed by any other car in its coupe and Volante forms. Its hand built V12 engine produces 380 kW (510 bhp / 517 PS) making it one of the most powerful production cars Aston Martin has ever made. In 2009, the DBS ‘Volante' (Aston Martin's nomenclature for convertible) joined the DBS line-up.About the V12 Vantage
Launched in 2009, agility and outright performance form the basis of the design of the V12 Vantage creating the most exciting incarnation of the Vantage line-up to date. The V12 Vantage subtly hints at its sporting intent wîth its controlled aggression and lower, purposeful stance. The naturally aspirated 6.0- V12 engine provides the driver wîth instantaneous access to high levels of power and torque at all engine speeds, while Aston Martin's class-leading, all alloy VH (Vertical Horizontal) architecture provides exceptional strength and rigidity.Source - Aston Martin
