Aston Martin DBS
In many ways, the DBS is a lighter and more powerful version of the DB9. It is also equipped with a 6.0L V12, but this one offers 510 hp – fully 40 more horses than the DB9. Just like the latter, the DBS is available as a Volante convertible. Several of its body panels are made of carbon fibre, which brings down the vehicle’s total weight.
