Ridiculously beautiful car, especially in black. I was surprised by the lap time managed too. Thoughts?

I saw a DB9 sitting in a handicap space in the local Shoprite last night. Beautiful car. It is the price of the DBS, 104K (50K quid) more than the BD9 that doesn't make sense.

Astons are definitely the supermodels of the car world, they might not do everything right, but damn do they look good.

im surprised the DBS couldnt pull on the Vanquish... its suppossed to be lighter... this was suppossed to be in all intents and purposes, the replacement for the Vanquish... perhaps that explains the quicker overall track time...

I'll own an AM within 8 years. There are a couple on the list before that, but not many.

I would absolutely love one.

And I could never justify it until I could buy it for cash. After I owned a million dollar house. With no mortgage.

I hope I manage my money that well, though, because Aston Martins are absolutely gorgeous, and I would LOVE to own one.

The Vanquish S has 520 hp & 424 ft. lbs. of tq vs. the DBS' 510 hp & 420 ft. lbs. of tq. So a tiny bit more hp. But I would have thought that AM could have further developed the engine for MORE hp, not less.

The difference between the DB9 and the DBS is irrelevent to me. Both cars are knee-buckling beautiful. No body makes prettier cars than Aston Martin.

I wouldnt buy an Aston as a track car anyway. The Vantage is more beautiful than the DB9 or DBS IMO.
