Gotta love Aston Martin

DB9 successor



I mean......even their camo is good looking!

Difficult to tell where the camo ends and the real car begins. But it'll still be beautiful

An Aston is the only "supercar" I'd buy if I won the Lottery (along with about a dozen Mustangs!). Heck, even my daughter's middle name is Aston!

I was bought a drive in a DBS for my 40th

Paul, you lucky son of a gun!


That DBS is my dream exotic! That's one of an extreme few cars that you can't find a bad angle on!

The drive was great fun, although the track at the proving ground was cold and slippery and, despite paying extra on the insurance, I was careful not to risk such a beautiful car

Still, it was fun chasing a Lambo Gallardo, although I preferred the gutteral bellow of the Aston's V12.

And it's so, sooooooooooooo, beautiful (although I prefer the latest Virage).

The proving ground was called Chobham where, if you watch 5th Gear or read Autocar or Evo, often test cars

Nobody does tastefully elegant yet drop-dead-gorgeous gentleman's (and lady's) super cars like AM. These spy shots of the next DB-9 indicate that they are maintaining or enhancing that proud tradition.

James Bond would be proud.

that splitter is a bit over the top


but god that's gorgeous! I especially like the way the taillights mimic the logo with the feather looking pieces, love details like that!

the DBS is my fave. The noise that v12 makes should be illegal for being audio pornography
