Under the hood

The 2008 Aston DBS comes with an all-alloy 6-liter V-12 quad-overhead cam engine, making 510 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. This plant will haul the two-seat coupe from zero to 60mph in 4.3 seconds, and gives it a top speed of 191mph. The DBS engine features a bypass engine air intake system that opens when the engine is running at over 5,500rpm to allow more air to the engine for increased performance.
