Aston Martin’s DBS is available in coupe and convertible body styles, the latter called Volante. It’s the pinnacle of luxury and refinement for fans of the British make, and a true grand touring automobile. A V8 just wouldn’t cut it here, so the only engine available with the DBS is a turbocharged 5.2-litre V12 that delivers a phenomenal 715 horsepower and 664 lb-ft. of torque. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is achieved in just 3.4 seconds.
