Aston Martin DBS - Definitely Not a Thoroughbred | Car Review | Top Gear 

11 years later and it’s still mine as well.

Amen.

Ten more years and you'll be able to afford it. Thanks to depreciation. :)

25052647 the one in the start of casino royale. I don’t know if that’s the same grey you’re talking about, but it looks quite good indeed

Nicolas Bocchino that’s casino royals grey , the one he is talking about is the one in the movie quantum of solice

The new Tesla Roadster is better

Gentleman Gamer I’d rather have a V12 Aston Martin than a wallpaper

@@AzaanPD I don't understand Also the new Tesla supercar, with its 700 mile range 100 klw Solid State Battery, will DESTROY and humiliate this old Aston Martin. It's no match for current generation 2020 supercars like the Tesla and Rimac 2.

Gentleman Gamer We haven’t heard anything about the Roadster since 2018. It’s all as fake as the devel sixteen

@@AzaanPD The Tesla Roadster Mrk 2 makes the Aston Martin look antiquated in comparison.

Ikr

NikoBell12 It even looks better than the DB11.

I think the car in your profile pic is miles better than both!!

Except for the new Vantage

You know what it is? It's the grey taillights. That's all it takes for it to look 20k fancier.

😂😂😂😂

Wilcows I love both equally, those 2 cars are the reason why I’m an AM fanboy. Think of it this way. The DB9 is the one you drive when you just want to cruise, it’s softer and more elegant and mature. The DBS is the more aggressive hardcore and powerful version that you drive in anger. They are both beautiful but the DB9 is more restrained and the DBS is more shouty and cooler.

DB9 looks cooler but the virage is crazy good looking

Yassir Belarabi Aston Martin engineers are artists

Yassir Belarabi what about the vanquish?

+Bilal Syed If the Vanquqish had come with that gearbox back then... maybe the DBS wouldn´t exist

+Bilal Syed the new vanquish looks better actually

Alex Moreno i agree

I mean it’s very pretty. But it does sort of look like a Ford Mondeo in drag Edit: also the Vanquish S is in my opinion far more beautiful

@@PestoPathogen69 it is the other way aroundy the Mondeo looks like this

In my opinion the 2012 to 2015 Jaguar xk xkr xkrs and gt models pretty close. Altho nvr seen a dbs in person and a former xk owner. But I do lean to the DBS

Top 5 for sure

I've just bought a DB9 and it IS totally gorgeous and does 90% of what a DBS does at a third of the cost. Perfection ❤

+Jason Tan Even better than db11

+8b64z agreed

yes it was still made 5 years ago but it was designed 11 years ago...

It aged better than the old vanquish.

Jason Tan I think it's the best looking British car on the planet

Mind control? Propaganda?

@@sonyviva308 The current Finnish government is a conglomerate cobbled together from four left-leaning parties plus a pussywhipped centrist party that's too desperate to have the dignity to step down, and simultaneously achieves nothing of their own goals. This formation, while being legitimate, is also problematic in itself as it ignores the second and third largest parties entirely. Most of the key figures in the government are women, including the prime minister, minister of education, minister of internal affairs, and minister of justice, and they're more or less making themselves feminist icons. The current government's achievements include: -Bringing ISIS children and their mothers to Finland, which are a high radicalization risk -Irresponsible handling of economy amidst the pandemic. Humanitarian goals like immigration and reduction of carbon emissions are prioritized over the well-being of the citizens. As a result a lot of jobs have been lost, taxes have been hiked and 30% of all welfare is leeched by illegal migrants. -Increasing national debt by 20% during the pandemic (over 20 billion euros), if not more, and not actually using all that debt to actually help citizens and local businesses, as mentioned in the prior statement, nor planning for how to pay it back. -Seeking loopholes to make illegal migrants legal, and wanting to bring 80 000 new immigrants to fill jobs despite the nation having over 200 000 unemployed people as is. -Following the path of Sweden in terms of immigration. Gangs are emerging and ghettos are an inevitability as all integration programs have failed. 90% of immigrants remain willingly unemployed. -Currently they're hiking the taxes of peat (for carbon reduction purposes), which has resulted in great reduction in production, and will in consequence hurt production of organic food. Despite being consantly questioned over all these problems, no one of the government have been able to provide straight answers or proposed solutions to any of it, but instead dance around the questions and resolve to gaslighting over international contracts, EU goals, sympathy and other mundane things.

@@Monarth WHOA

I didn’t understand that when I was an 8 year old kid, but I sure as hell understand what Clarkson means now.

I get what he means that its stupid, but to me, its like the Secondary Top Speed Mode Key of a Bugatti Veyron Supersport. It just feels special, that the key turns into a start button, then you press it, there's a little delay and the V12 barks into life. I find it incredibly special, to be honest. It is indeed an Emotional Control Unit, if you ask me.

Joe Ziadan I can't stand it when reviewers (I still like Jeremy though) compare GT cars to super cars. Aston Martin weren't trying to make a Gallardo, F430, R8 killer. They were simply making a fiercer, more beautiful DB9 and I think they did a mighty fine job.

Yeah I would take this over a Bugatti or anything it’s just perfect

True, 100% Agreed. I don't care about any of the new stuff, and that's not just the V12 GT, its all their cars. They all have a Mercedes Heart, Mercedes Nerves all over the place, and they call it different. Since Dr. Ulrich Bez left, Aston has gone downhill, real hard.

Exactly!

Nah, the new DBS is not worse at all than this one :D

​@@chechenwojak5671 You are clearly blind, my friend. That DB11S is more aggressive than beautiful, and nowhere near as simple in terms of styling compared to this thing. That car has a lot of really good individual design elements, but they don't add up to make a good-looking car. It looks over-styled and pointlessly aggressive-looking compared to this simple, elegant, beauty. Oh, and then it has a much smaller V12 with two poorly considered turbos on it that really tries hard to mimic the sound of this engine. Same with the 2018-present Vantage. The front looks like a fish that's very surprised, and it's got LEDs on it's ducktail ass, something that nobody asked for. Compare it to the 2006-2017 Vantage, and the newer one looks downright ugly. And then, to make it worse, it's an AMG Twin-Turbo V8 that Aston will say "has been slightly modified to sound different", and that's the biggest pile of sh!t I've ever heard from a car company. That engine sounds exactly like any other contemporary AMG, by which I mean choked, boring, and emotionless. Listen to the old Vantage 4.7L V8 compared to this, that's so much better. Overall, Aston have just ruined themselves, fcuked themselves royally since Dr. Bez left.

khaireddine khmiri 2019 and still beautiful 👌

the Vanquish is better looking

True

Not the big crash in casino.. that was a DB9

@@albruce10 Wrong it was DBS James Bond he got car accident from Casino Royale

@@theandroidhatsunemikuman not quite true... They swapped out the DBS for a DB9 for the crash scene.

@@theandroidhatsunemikuman look it up. I'm not wrong. The car that was crashed was a DB9.

Al Bruce Are you blind it's not DB9 it was DBS you're wrong

Lmfao I see what u did there

Amproks the term 'grand tour' or GT is used extensively in the automotive world, which is why they chose to name the new show after it. Not that surprising he'd said it at some point before hand

dlc for double the price

Thanks to google translate ...I agree.

To me, it'll have to be the DB9S, 2006-2017 V8 Vantage, Rapide S, Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake.

Ay, Vucko is a Top Gear fan!

I think he says that because he doesn't like the design of the 911

Porsches have looked 'roughly the same ' for 50 years. Clarkson is full of shit - FYI .

Zac Youngson they kind of have. Not in a bad way though. It's just his opinion.

Mitchell Sanchez not really. You can tell all of its cars apart.

Riley Stansberry considering that this was 11 years ago, what has a Ferrari of today got to do with it?

Yup.

Now Jaguar, Aston and Mclaren all make beautiful cars the Ftype, DB11, 720S, P1, 12C

Problem?

SpiderPigRS Yes, why would a English built car in the UK have left hand drive? It sounds strange

chrischoy9 now that you mention it, what is a British car in Britain doing with left side driving

SpiderPigRS wow, are you okay?

Because it is for left hand drive country. They make them for the country of destination. Just check the James Bond movies, too.

Agreed. It will go down in history as one of the best sounding V12s ever made.
