Aston Martin DBS




http://impressivecars-impressivecars.blogspot.com/

It’s Just Not Right, I tell ya. Welp, its long awaited arrival finally culminated in a Paulling - I've been DBS'd.  It was intended that I bomb down to my bud’s Fri. night in the 930 for some gratuitous pics with it but the all-day steady drizzle drizzled that angle.  Ah well.  So door to door @ Alumibitch WOT in the rain didn’t exactly suck.  I arrive to behold Greyness, nearly black hole-like in light absorbsion.  Tungsten Silver mit Graphite wheels welcome, defy, mock, and stupify me.  OhohOHHHHHHHH, this is niiiiiiiiice.  Aston Martin DBS means carboncarbon, here there EVERYwhere.  Front wings, hood, mirror posts, front splitters, rear diffuser, door sills - all woven in splenditude. • Get a Free Quote • Find a Local Dealer http://impressivecars-impressivecars.blogspot.com/ Before me jaw can regain composure from the floor it’s fired up and gunned afront of me - a V12 F1esque «<CRACK»> bellows from the twin bombs in the rear.  OH man.  It’s blowing my clothes around on my body and I’m 15’ back - yeowzer. http://impressivecars-impressivecars.blogspot.com/ This is an iconic auto with which you just want to fondle like a pair of Penultimate Funbags - you can caress, fingerbang, oogle and ah _end_lessly over every square decimeter of this thing.  It REEKS detail in every cranny, and I’m gazing blankly at everything and nothing  - desperately lost with marvel in awe inspiring spell binding logic defying amazement.  It’s that impressive, yes. http://impressivecars-impressivecars.blogspot.com/ Unfurl the flushmount door handle, cracking the-near cantlileving door presents an overt odiferous waft like unsealing a fresh vacuum bag of the finest Columbian coffee.  Insert me keister into stitched Alcantara yumminess.  http://impressivecars-impressivecars.blogspot.com/ Grab hold the $3500 “key” FOB (I think that was the price, it might have been more) that looks like some sort of executive office mantle piece or one of the Crystals that power Superman’s Ice Cavern - it’s tip clear and illuminated and awesome.  Bask in the specter of the key's now-you-see-me-now-you-don’t routine into the glorious Piano Black centerstack - a pyro striking a match to a well doused pile of dry timber must feel this same endorphine surge.  Note the *ridiculously* absurd phallic shifter, a rather enormously girthed, ergonomic and highly polished aluminum mass.  Quickly appreciate the shifter’s placement affording shoulder blade stays-put shifts / hand in LeMans-esque proximity to the wheel.  Cool. Remember now for a sec here:  It’s 10:00pm, ‘raining’ fog…  oh, and for good measure butofcourse the streets are lined with Autumn’s finest collection of greasy brown leaves. “You taking her for a rip or what!?” is *barked* at me before I’ve even remotely mentally inhaled all of what I want / could / should before considering such a bark. Is he nutz? Am I?? Is “no” an answer??? 650mi says the odo, he suggests 'break-in' was dictated to be “as the car will live its driven life”.  Hey works for me.  Slide it into R and immediately note the light clutch.  Scratch that.  The *DEVOID* clutch.  Might as well be electro or servo or hail mary or Zen operated as - there is _zero_ pedalgrab feel.  None nada zilch zippo none.  Least I don’t stall, it’s actually surprisingly easy - which had me begging the question how long before you'll be replacing clutches here.  Note the absence of any chicklychic flappypaddle box  - uh uh. Barely audible is a mutterance to the extent of valuation and the costs of many people’s houses, it’s quickly a distant din as I troll down the driveway smiling a Cheshire yet nervous smile. Stats for the slippywetstuff expensive not overly thought out not particularly bright excursion:  5.9L V12, 510hp / 420tq, 3737lbs.  6spd thru 3.71 limited slip transaxle.  15.7” carbon ceramic Brembo’s, as seen on the likes of F430 - stuffed under 20x11(R) shod with 245F / 295R.  $266k base.  Perfect combo for a slick evening full of limited visibility - why not. Ensuring the color stitched banner on the top-center of the wheel is “up”… the car is straight and the hammer is dropped.  The counterclockwise tach sweep quickly results in some rear wheel tramp - UPSHIFT.  Repeat 2nd, UPSHIFT.  Wow it’s greasy out WOW this is beyond cool.  Thank goodness for Electro Nannies yeah. Tits AND nipples I dare say! A quick run around the block, I can’t help but feel deprived - if that’s somehow possible?  Nonexistent are the opp’s to exploit even a microgram of LeMans bred British potential.  A few miles and it’s tucked safely away and all too soon. http://impressivecars-impressivecars.blogspot.com/ More oogling, pics, drool, staring, senseless self mumbling, and a beverage or 2 later and it’s demanded and I quote - “dude! why don’t you RIP it down and up again real quick - and I want to HEAR it.  Oh yeah and this time no On Board Nannies.  And ensure a WOT holeshot out of the culdesac - my bud lives down there and is trying to sleep” (hey it’s past midnight). Um er uhhhhhhhhhhh… okiedokie? JNR? Mostmostmost certainly. Down and up, I oblige as respectfully as I can while executing resplendent tire shred and astonishing holepuckerage.  Muwhahahahahaa, why not.  Few fries short of a Happy Meal he is - or I am - or both.  Or something, and stuff, and like things - I think.  I remind mesself, the dry opp will present sometime soon enough soon enough.

Aston Martin Recalling over 1,000 U.S. Vehicles Over Safety Concerns

British sportscar maker Aston Martin has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of a safety recall 1,090 DB9, V8 Vantage and DBS vehicles built between 2007 and 2008.

In a letter sent by Aston Martin to the NHTSA, the British carmaker reported that the camber bolt that holds the front bottom suspension arm was not made to specification and "could crank along its shank" (shaft).

According to the company, this would allow the lower control arm to move freely, affecting the driver's ability to steer, and thus increasing the risk of a crash. The letter went on to say that drivers may hear a metallic rattling sound if the lower control arm had loosened in such a fashion.

An Aston Martin spokesperson told Bloomberg news that the defect was detected through company testing, not through any customer complaints. He went on to say that the driver would still be able to steer, but may notice 'looser handling'.

To rectify the defect, dealers will replace the affected camber bolts free of charge. Aston Martin has notified the NHTSA that the safety recall will begin on or before October 18th of this year.

Britain Officially out of Recession... Rusty Old Aston Sells for Over £200,000 / US$300,000

When you think about it, the £160,000 (US$247,000) Aston Martin DBS is a little too common. Sure it's a beautiful machine with a monster V12 under the hood, but everyone and his mother has one these days. Now, what the car connoisseur needs is something a bit rarer; something that's unique. A vehicle with real motoring history coursing through its corroded veins. A fixer upper, even.


Fortunately - for one buyer at least - such a car exists. At Barsons' British Heritage Sale at Sandown Park, a very rare Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk III drophead coupe went up on the auction block with an asking price of £80,000-£100,000 (US$123,000-US$154,000). Not too extravagant; one could easily afford a spanking-new Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster or Coupe for that measly amount.


By the conclusion of the sale, however, this particular DB2/4 had fetched the rather more Barsons'-esque price of £206,866 (US$318,875). The Aston, once owned by company founder David Brown and which had spent the better part of thirty years under a tarpaulin, fetched twice Barson's top estimate.


Barons' Managing Director Laurence Sayers Gillan was quoted: "It was an amazing lot that attracted a huge amount of attention and exceeded all expectations."


And with the auction making around £700,000 (US$1.08 million), Sayers Gillan was no doubt laughing all the way to the bank. Recession? What recession?


Also auctioned off – albeit at far more mundane prices – were a very special '66 Lotus Cortina (£40,250 / US$62,000) and a '57 Daimler Conquest Century convertible (£29,000 / US$44,700). One can only speculate on the condition and pedigree of these vehicles given their "humble" sale prices.

Edo Competition Transforms Aston Martin DB9 to DBS for Russian Client

Reason says that if you're wealthy enough to buy an Aston Martin DB9 and for whatever reason you want to upgrade to a DBS, you either replace the first one or simply add the second model to your collection. But that wasn't the case with an unnamed Russian owner of a five-year-old DB9 who approached Edo Competition to turn his car into a DBS.


The German tuning house agreed and after six months of work, the DB9 had been transformed into a DBS... replica. The conversion involved replacing the car's steel body panels with lightweight carbon fiber pieces, and adding new 20 inch wheels and numerous aerodynamic parts, such as a carbon fiber front skirt and rear diffuser.


The DB9's interior was also refinished. Edo Competition says that the choice of materials and colors was left to the customer, who, in this case, went for an Alcantara/leather interior with carbon fiber inserts and metal accents. A new high-end audio-system completes the interior makeover.


Rather than just performing cosmetic changes, Edo Competition upgraded the mechanicals and customized the car according to the wishes of its owner.


The modifications to the DB9's 5.9-liter V12 engine bump output from 470 to 550-horsepower allowing the DBS replica to sprint from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in around 4.1 seconds and top out at 320km/h (199mph) instead of 295km/h (183mph).


A programmable control unit for the exhaust system, an upgraded adjustable sport suspension and a new braking system with 405mm disc and 6-piston calipers up front and 380mm discs and 4-piston calipers at the rear, complete the transformation of the DB9 to a DBS replica.


Engine Specs


Engine V12 cylinder engine
Power 550 hp / (404 kW) at 6,800 rpm
Max torque 600 Nm at 5,500 rpm


Performance Specs


Top speed 320 km / h
0-100 km / h approx 4.1 s
