The big screen star - the 2010 Aston Martin DBS Coupe - Coffs Coast Advocate
TODAY let's take a look into one of my favourite cars to come from Gaydon in the UK, the home of Aston Martin. This is the 2010 Aston Martin DBS Coupe. What makes this car so unique and special is that it is one of the last manual transmission cars to come not only from Aston Martin, but also from many other car manufactures. The latest Aston Martin Vanquish and V12 Vantage S are only offered in an automatic transmission, and both Ferrari and Lamborghini have also switched to faster-shifting automated-manuals. The Aston Martin DBS Coupe weighs in with a kerb weight of 1695 kilograms. The Aston Martin DBS was officially released at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in the August of 2007, but this wasn't the first time that the public had seen the car. The DBS featured as James Bond's hero car in the film Casino Royale, which debuted at the end of 2006. It is most famously known in the movie for setting the world record for the most cannon rolls in a car, which was seven. Source: www.coffscoastadvocate.com.au
