Aston Martin DBS officially unveiled for James Bond film
After a sneak peak of the DBS was revealed on an upcoming cover of CAR magazine, Aston Martin has released official pics of the car James Bond will be driving in the next installment of the 007 series called Casino Royale. Aston Martin’s Design Director, Marek Reichman, has said that the DBS hints at the brand’s future design direction. He describes the styling as “encapsulating a link between our elegant DB9 road car and the powerful DBR9 race car.” Reichman again refused to disclose the arsenal of weapons that will be onboard the DBS, though we imagine we’ll see all of them in action soon enough.

"Future design direction?" It looks just like any other Aston.

I had no idea Aston Martin was going to have a part in the next Fast and the Furious movie.

Take away the suede and that lousy Bond and you have one hot car.

I love it. In these pictures, even the hood looks good.

This movie is going to be a horrendous D-, if they think they have to promote its cars and actors so much before the movie is made. They know the screenplay is terrible.

I'll take two, one with and one without the gadgets, gizmos and weapons.

I am available for a road test at any time. The suede cluster cover reduces possible glare. I'll take mine in red.

Even though I'm a blue oval hater (sorry) I LOVE Aston Martins. Ive seen 2 in person and they are the most beutiful thing i've ever seen. My problem is that i cant tell one apart from another. Can sombody help me or send me a link to something? I would really love to recognize these amazing creations from each other.

I think aston may have just ruined their image. The DB9 is a MUCH better looking car, this is tacky IMO.
They could have at least used a decent car for the photoshot. The gear stick is covered in little scratches and the dash is covered in finger prints. Not the right image for an aston

why take away the seude. why not have the scoops etc, i think this is the perfect car, ok, so it is a little less aston but i think its about time that they made a car that at least looks faster than a porsche 911 or even ferrari. i still think its beautiful. although ive always liked astons (my favourite cars infact) so im biased

Body kit resembles somthing a chav might put on his clio to go to a cruise on saturday evening in b&q carpark, surly a more subtle styling job would suit a beutifull DB9
