OMG!!! It's gorgeous !!! :shock: :shock:

I always thought it would be a new model. But, being just a sportier version of the DB9 it's just perfect. The wheels, the front, the hood, everything is perfect. I can't find anything that looks less good.

Not bad......but doesn't quite suit the Aston image, I can see these lines in a Maserati, but Aston......mehhhh......it maybe a bit too agressive.

Now... why would they put "007" on Bond's car, isn't he supposed to be a spy?

The new air intakes kinda ruined the perfect lines of the DB9 but other than that, it looks a lot better than in other pics so far. It now looks more nimble than before.

Sadly, Bond's DBS probably comes with slushbox only and the engine was most likely replaced with a mustang V8 like they did with the vanquish and jag XKR

It's just a DB9 which has its lines spoiled by these ads-on. I hope it's not the future Vanquish !!

Just a pointier, more muscley version of the DB9 with bonnet vents. Id normally complain about it not been much more than a DB9, a lazy attempt, but its just so nice I cant do that. I doubt it will be a limited run like mentioned early up this thread. Its in a james bond film AND its a aston. Garenteed sales right?

mmmm I'm not sure if I like it, it doesn't suit the DB9's image. This is definetly no improvement over the DB9 by no means. I was really hoping for something more, I don't know what exactly, but not a few bits and pieces from the rice box. On the other hand let's wait for performance specs.

The more I see it and analyze it, the less I like it...I hope it's just a show car for the movie.

It kind of just looks like bond took his DB9 to west coast customs and got it pimped.

Has the same ricer look of the Vanquish they used in the last or 2nd to last Bond film.. (AM vs Jag on ice) Or was it the Jag that had the same hood(bonnet for you euros) as the DBS?


I just love that first picture and the shot of the shifter. The interior looks incredible.. the DB9's interior was already beautiful.

of course not, they're functional... I don't have a problem with the vents, it's thre rest of the bodykit that bothers me...can you say "Pimp my DB9!"...
