Aston Martin DBS
The new Aston Martin DBS, James Bond's car in Casino Royale, is built upon the DB9 platform. As a matter of prestige (and to justify its price of nearly 300,000$), its 6,0-litre V10 engine is more powerful than the ?Òpoor?Ó DB9's engine at 510 horsepower, 40 hp more. Since the vehicle weighs only 1,690 kilos, it is easy to imagine the DBS can perform like no other.
