Aston Martin DBS Hits the Streets at Concours D'Elegance

You saw it first piloted by Daniel Craig in the new Bond flick, Casino Royale. The 2008 Aston Martin DBS falls smack dab in the middle of the lineup between the DB9 and the racer DBR9, also upscale from the Vanquish coupe and roadster models. The car, which starts at a hefty $250,000 U.S. (estimated), boasts a 6.0L V-12 engine spitting out a whopping 510 hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque, launching it to 62 mph in 4.3 seconds and to a top speed of 191 mph.

Pricing will be confirmed in September around the time of the Frankfurt Motor show, with the first deliveries of the cars occuring in early 2008. Check for official specs from Aston Martin after the jump.
