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

it's called DBS and Aston Martin are very adamant that it's a brand new six liter hard driving equivalent

thoroughbred

, I'm not sure about that, in my opinion a

thoroughbred

car is Italian and extravagant and has its engine in the average and it goes wrong all the time this is none of those things yes it has four nostrils in the hood, carbon fiber tailpieces and carbon ceramic brakes but the engines in the front have plenty of storage space in the cabin and it has a trunk that you can actually use, so it's not designed like a thoroughbred, but who knows, maybe it will drive like one.

Okay, I'll tell the adaptive suspension that I'm on a track, there we are and we go down. I like the direction. I like that. and I like the brakes. I have to say that I also really like the red tweet differential button. He's too busy to do this. I must say that the tires, made especially for this car by Pirelli, are brilliant, very good, excellent, they are just right. There are also noises, but you don't get the same sense of dread that you get from a thoroughbred like, say, a Ferrari, none of that, oh my God, this smells so difficult, it really is a bit dated, maybe old. -fashioned is cruel maybe old school would be better but either way it's not a thoroughbred maybe then it's a work of art you can't deny it bites the back of your hand it's beautiful but does it look better than a db9, apart from the racing paraphernalia? in the DBS they look more or less the same to me Keira Knightley Keira Knightley with Puff Diddley jewelry and it is very good to say that the DBS is carbon fiber, it is only ten stones lighter than the db9 and that is the weight of a size medium.

Woman, then it's not a thoroughbred supercar and it's not as attractive as her brother, maybe then you should look at it as a replacement for the old Vanquish. Yes, the problem with doing that is that the DBS is v12 produces 510 brake horsepower and that's ten. less than what you got from the vences v12 yes, as a result of the distress, we will go 200 miles per hour, this is at a speed of 91 per hour, there are other problems too, the interior is wonderful, an amazing mix of fiber suede carbon and a lot of exciting buttons, you can't see your reach.

I especially love the shifter, which is like a Power Rangers leg and then they go and drop everything with this stupid key they call it and I'm not kidding, it has an emotional control unit. One of the ones that is already called government and I don't like that sound either, this car is shaping up to be a bit of a misfit, but don't worry because there is one thing it does brilliantly: put it back in road mode and it becomes an impressive long distance cruising and epic grand touring. I would be happy to drive it to the south of France and I would be happy if I got there and found those forgotten listening trucks because then I could drive it all.

The way back when you're on a motorway is quiet and civilized, it's great too, but even here there's a problem because if you want a nice looking and fast cruiser for long distances, what exactly is wrong with the db9? easier to use as the same engine has two more seats and costs £50,000 less, nothing good, oh no, this is the best car I have driven all year and by a huge margin, oh wait, you just said it's not as fast as a vanquished when it's not as pretty as a db9 and weighs 50,000 pounds more, yeah that's fine.

Aston Martin was wrong when they said it's a thoroughbred, it's a brand new car, that's not what baffled me. It took me a long time to work on it. but what this is is a db9 where every little piece is a little bit better if you tell yourself okay, this is the way to think about it, don't think of it as a DBS, think of it as a db9 s like a db9. evo and then it makes sense, yes 50,000 parents only agree that the price is a bit high, it's dangerously close to the Ferrari 599 but honestly you can't buy a db9 anymore, you just can't because one day you'll be sitting in one set. of traffic lights someone will approach at one of these and you will feel desperate and inadequate and you will have to kill yourself anyway.

Now it's time to see how fast this thing goes down our track and that, of course, means handing it over to our tame. racing driver some say he knows two facts about ducks and they are both wrong and that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty the Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is that now I'm going to the tower to have my head cut off. off and it's called the Stig, it's off now sir, a wheel skidded and a v12 roar echoed through the first corner. He's wet today, let's see how that affects things.

We're on a pretty steady path so far, smooth, brilliant, what is my purpose, what would I want to achieve, what values ​​do I want to live by by staying in his self-help honestly there while he kicks the tail really kicking the tail in all the senses? This car is better than the DB9, including those gorgeous sight wheels that might struggle. with the nice wet and muddy plant around the hammerhead shark and then which wall do I want to put my ladder of life against keeping it open during tracking? He wake up? Yes, then press the hard pedal again and now to the last two corners. magnificent brakes better devil doing these things Mobile db9 won't be anywhere now here he comes cutting to Gambon and we're at minute 27.4 which is like here in the middle of nowhere, although the runway dried up right before we went on air then I told the Stig, get out quick, do it again, take a while, let's see how good this really is. one minute twenty-three point nine look, it's up here, it's with Koenig's eggs and the Zonda, it's the same time as the Zonda, I mean.

It's just amazing
