All about Aston Martin DBS

A combination of an image of the super spy with racing technologies plus successes in competitions has led to appearance of model Aston Martin DBS. These facts have also determined its style and consumer qualities. This model is also named as "bridge" between DB9 and racing bolides DBR9 and DBRS9. Six-liter engine V12 raised degree of compression reprogrammed by electronics, a new inlet collector, which opens at 5500 rev/min the additional channel of submission of air in cylinders are located under a cowl of DBS. Owing to these changes the engine develops power of 517 h.p. at 6500 rev/min, and twisting moment of 570 Nanometers at 5750 rev/min.

Six-stepped mechanical transmission has no changes. The main engineer has certainly understood, that mechanical transmission is the best decision for a true driver even in 21-st century. A great experience has confirmed this fact. Do you remember, how robotized transmission was placed for the first time on Vanquish, and then it was suggested to replace by usual mechanical transmission? Moreover they took a lot of money for this operation. An aluminium spatial frame of a body is also former. They call it "vertically-horizontal" architecture. But DBS has become the first serial car of Aston Martin with carboxylic body panels. A cowl, a cover of a luggage carrier and back diffuser are made of carbon fiber.

The composit brakes also work for weight-decrease (of course besides increase in efficiency). These brakes have appeared for the first time on such road car of Aston Martin. Ulrich Bez has refused again a back seat. That is why Aston Martin DBS is a double coupe. The manufacturer classifies its landing formula as «2+0». it is possible to find a great number of convenient capacities on a place of a back seat, which can be useful for a gentleman during a high-speed spurt through the Europe. As a result of all works directed on decrease of weight, it was possible to save 105 kg in comparison with model DB9. The final weight is 1695 kg. The additional prize can be received due to installation of special racing carbon fiber seats. Moreover «racing ladles» are filled by special "foam" which accepts and remembers the form of a body of driver and passenger.

More powerful and lighter car accelerate speed exceeding 300 km/h. It is dispersed up to 100 km/h for 4,3 seconds.
