    Thank you once again to The Collection for hosting an amazing evening for the launch preview party for the Aston Martin DBS!!

    For those that haven't seen the car, it's amazing. Here are some highlights:

    The paint was crazy-nice - black w/ a very slight red metallic flake accent
    Carbon fiber everywhere! Hood, spoilers (front & rear), posts for rear view mirrors, door panels, etc, etc, etc...
    Carbon ceramic brakes
    Very nice interior - cross between a bentley, a mercedes, and a ferrari.
    510 HP V-12 - no explanation necessary!
    Overall a very impressive whip!


    Sorry the pics suk, but there were so many people crowded around the car, it was hard to take any pictures!

    Very Cool! I love the DBS! I've been thinking about trading the Vette for an AM. (Wish I had been invited) :(

    Cool car and nice pictures. Unforunately, my OCD can only see the swirls and buffer trails in the paint which ruins the car for me.... I just don't see how they can have a car like that have somebody who doesn't know how to buff a car properly polish it. A car that perfect should be delievered perfect....

    Nice Jaguar with carbon fiber bits or should I say nice Ford. I don't get these cars. They drop something like half their value when you drive them off the lot.

    Unless I am missing something, Ford has sold majority ownership to an independent company, who, btw, has paved the way for the DBS, Rapide, and Vantage RS12. there is NOTHING Ford about this vehicle. Even the key Fob, which had traditionally been a volvo part, has been replaced with a sapphire glass key Fob. The Nav interface has also been upgraded
