Adrift is infamous around these parts
If the keys to the DBS were behind door #1 and Ghostrider-TT's avatar was behind door #2, I can't honestly say which door I would choose. lol

Soooooo, I beg to differ
This car is an AMV8, the DBS is based on the current-production DB9, two different cars.

They need to get rid of the front two fog lamps on the track car. It looks like it has buck teeth.

Go to Scottsdale Aston and find out who is # 3 on the list for this car.
Let me give you a hint. He is Puerto Rican and does not drive a Supra.

Pics of the AM DBS:



Sexy car, sounds amazing, but too short of a life span in the movie. I think I would have taken my chances on hitting the girl to save the car

I was actually at the SF auto show talking to the AM rep there. She said that it actually took them a lot of modifications to get the AM DBS to roll like that, since the car is designed naturally not to flip.

More detail on the AMV8:

It is actually almost the production standard of the VM Vantage, with the same engine and tranny, only modifications were done for pit lane efficency and safety.

sexy car, not the sexiest by any means, i still find the 911 to be better looking though. and the CGT would def be one o the sexiest every built, and the gallardo is up there, and prob the bugatti. i happen to like the dbs sport seats they had in it.

Definitely proof that beauty is in the eye. Although I am a fan of Porsche engineering and performance, the basic 911 is hardly a looker at all, IMHO, much less aesthetic competition for an Aston Martin DBS. The GT3RS looks awesome, but in an exotic race-car kind of way. For me, Porsches are about the driving, not the looks; although the rear half of a Cayman is nice.

The DBS is the next Vanquish replacement. I was told during the auto show the car will be out in the next year or so, estimated value at $300K
