James Bond' Aston Martin DBS Unveiled


the next 007 film, “Casino Royale” which is due to be release in November, 2006. According to Aston Martin Design Director, Marek Reichman, the car, which has a future design, is between the elegant DB9 road car and the powerful DBR9 race car and is instantly recognisable as an Aston Martin. With no details about the new DBS, the car in the movie will obviously be equipped with secret weapons and the usual Bond gadgets. According to some news, beside “the old” Aston Martin - James Bond ( Daniel Craig ) will also drive a £22,000 Mondeo.

The DBS continues our proud and lengthy association with James Bond. The DBS is not of the understated elegance of a DB9, nor the youthful agility of the V8 Vantage. It is explosive power in a black tie and has its own unique character which will equal that of James Bond.
