Model history:

In 1967, Aston Martin surprised the trade press with a relatively smooth styled model. This new type DBS was initially powered by the well-known six-cylinder engine - in 1969 the switch to a sporty V8 engine with 2x2 overhead camshafts took place. With this V8 engine, the Aston Martin DBS reached a top speed of 260 km/h. Unlike the DB 5 and DB 6, the DBS was designed as a full-fledged four-seater. To make this possible, the wheelbase (now 2,610 mm) was extended again and the car was brought to a total length of 4,590 mm. Only 402 examples of the Aston Martin DBS V8 were produced from 1970 to 1972.
