Crushing performance paired with impressive long-distance comfort and an old-world GT charm, the DBS is astonmartin at its best -
, the DBS is something quite different; for all its wildly slashed bodywork, gaping air intakes and dramatic proportions, this is very much a GT car – one that majors on readily accessible and almost endless reserves of performance, yet still combines them with comfort.It’s a big car, and always feels it from the low-slung driving position, with the extremities mainly hidden from view.
Like all the modern-era Astons, the DBS features a quick steering rack that does take a little getting used to, but its accuracy and natural weighting are both plus points, and the DBS certainly shrugs off its mass well.When pressing on, the rear of the car feels notably soft, presumably to aid traction, but the result is that over a bumpy road in particular, the rear axle does feel like it gets a proper workout.
