Few places serve as a better backdrop for the launch of a new supercar than the famous Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, so it should come as no surprise that Aston Martin will launch the DBS this weekend in Monterey.
The 6.0-liter V-12-powered DBS boasts 510 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque neatly wrapped in a 3637-pound package that sprints from 0-62 in just 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 191 mph. It's scheduled to go on sale in the early months of 2008.
We drove a preproduction DBS earlier this year and although the numbers have changed slightly -- weight is up, power is down -- the spirit of the car remains the same. Aston CEO Ulrich Bez summed the DBS up as "brutal, but dressed in a black tie."
