Click image for our Aston Martin DBS hi-res gallery
When the good ship Lotto comes into port for us, one of the items very high on the shopping list is the Aston Martin DBS, which adds a dash of toughness to the slinky lines of the DB9 and generally causes the car-aware to trip over their tongues. Thanks to some recent updates over on Aston Martin's media site, we now know what color we're ordering ours in after Yolanda Vega pulls that crucial sixth matching number out of the lottery contraption. The color is Racing Green -- specifically, Aston Martin Racing Green. This is the same shade developed by DuPont for Prodrive's Le Mans-winning Aston Martin Racing DBR9, and with those dark gray wheels, all that's missing is the yellow or orange "lipstick" around the radiator grille for maximum effect. Incidentally, the other colors announced for the DBS are Lightning Silver, Infa Red, and Casino Royale (heh). For good measure, we'd also snag a Velocity Yellow Corvette Z06 to bolster the GT1 wing of the mythical Autoblog Super Garage. Yeah, we tend to daydream a bit on Fridays.

I liked it better in the gray from previous press photos.
Chris @ Nov 30th 2007 11:04AM
badass.

I guess the Casino Royale color might be some sort of chrome mirror finish to cater to the blingtastic crowd.

Or Gold, Maybe, Perhaps?

You'll know I've won because I only play numbers that end in 4. That way it's really easy to know when I've won. "Foah. Foahteen. Twenty Foah. Thirty foah. Foahty foah. Making tonight's winning New York lottery Take 5 numbers foah, foahteen, twenty foah, thirty foah, and foahty foah."

zach @ Nov 30th 2007 11:58AM
Yes, please!
...although I have to say I've always liked British Racing Green on Jaguars a little better...

Two questions:
1. Who would want one in that color. Seriously?
2. What ever happened to good old racecar red. Why does everything have to be metallic these days?

The Infra-Red color is actually quite striking, and not a rip-off look of Rosso Corsa for Ferrari, the main competitor.
I just wish they had Flag Blue with titanium white details. Pantone 300, the now official color of the scottish flag.
Ecurie Ecosse was a privateer racing club started in scotland in 1952, mostly known for racing C and D-type jaguars, but also connaughts, Austin Healeys, and Coopers. I would think that maybe an old DB would have been somewhere around there, as well...
All of the cars were Scottish Flag blue with white details. I think that is a striking color scheme with some unique privateer history to it.
But as the new pinnacle of British Sport Car motoring, the Astons deserve the option for Ecurie Ecosse livery, along with Aston's own racing green, and the other nice colors.
Bright Flag Blue metallic with titanium white detailing on the trunk trim, and other small bits with bright silver Prodrive wheels, and the clear/silver head and tail lights...
light grey leather interior with some dark charcoal accents, and silver threads woven into the carbon fiber trim inside.
Sounds fantastic to me. I would think that for more than a quarter-mil on a DBS, bespoke custom paint and leatherwork is probably an option from Aston's custom shop...

Looks like a car that the Green Goblin would drive.
scrilla06 @ Nov 30th 2007 10:15PM
black on black with black wheels/chrome lips would be much better imo....
my 2 cents..........
