Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson fangs the Aston Martin DBS

November 27th 2007 21:30

Popular UK TV host, Jeremy Clarkson, from cult show Top Gear has taken the gorgeous Aston Martin DBS out for a fang on the Top Gear test track.

The Aston Martin DBS, James Bond's choice of transportation in Casino Royale, features a bodywork that is just simply a work of art and the sound it makes from the 6.0-litre V12 is quite unbelievable.

Watch the Stig take it out for a hot lap and hear Clarkson give the car his verdict, which is somewhere along the lines of the "best car I've drive all year".

Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400

September 19th 2007 10:15

Besides officially unveiling the awesome Aston Martin DBS at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Aston Martin awesome revealed two new models - the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 and the Aston Martin DB9 LM.

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 celebrates Aston Martins successes at the famous race track Nurburgring and features a 4.3-litre V8 engine that delivers (294kW) 400 hp and 420 Nm of torque.

Check out the following images of the new Aston finished in stunning Karussell Orange.

The Official Aston Martin Press Release:

Aston Martin is not only showing the DBS for the first time in Europe at the Frankfurt motor show next week but will also showcase two new special editions - the Aston Martin DB9 LM and the V8 Vantage N400. Both special editions draw inspiration from the company's recent achievements at Le Mans and the N?rburgring 24-hour races.

The V8 Vantage N400 commemorates Aston Martin’s achievements at the N?rburgring where the company enjoyed success in the gruelling ADAC 24-hour race with the V8 Vantage N24 production race car. Aston Martin develops and tests all of its road cars extensively on the N?rburgring Nordschleife circuit and the Vantage N400 recently broke the eight minute benchmark around the legendary 14-mile circuit.

The Vantage N400 includes a number of technical improvements as well as enhancements to the car’s standard range of renowned colour and trim specifications. These include a power upgrade to Aston Martin’s 4.3 litre V8 engine, lifting peak power to 400bhp and peak torque to 420Nm. The car also comes equipped with a new Sports Pack which offers subtly different driving dynamics tailored to enthusiasts who seek even more responsive handling. The Sports Pack comprises a unique lightweight graphite-finished aluminium wheel with diamond turning, up-rated springs and dampers and a new rear anti-roll bar (for the Coupe). The Vantage N400 also includes a number of exterior design changes, including a revised side sill design, Magnum Silver bonnet and side strake meshes, clear rear lamp lenses and a bright finish grille.

Interior enhancements include perforated black leather seats, micro-spin alloy facia trim and a unique numbered sill plaque. The Vantage N400 will be available in three new exterior colours; Bergwerk Black, Lightning Silver or Karussell Orange, with either Sportshift automated manual or conventional manual transmission and in either Coupe or Roadster forms. Additionally, the Vantage N400 comes equipped with a range of normally optional equipment, including Satellite Navigation, 700W Aston Martin Premium Audio System, Bluetooth telephone preparation, HID headlamps, cruise control and memory/heated seats.

The DB9 LM celebrates Aston Martin’s GT1 class victory in the Le Mans 24-hour endurance classic in June with the DBR9 – a race car derived from the DB9.

This special edition car, available in Coupe form only with Touchtronic transmission, includes a unique Sarthe Silver exterior paint finish, meshes and rear crossbar finished in Magnum Silver and red brake calipers. Inside, the DB9 LM is fitted with handcrafted black leather finish, perforated leather inserts, unique ‘Tertre Rouge’ facia trim and numbered sill plaque. The car is also equipped with the normally optional DB9 Sports Pack as standard, with colour keyed and diamond turned alloy wheels.

Pricing details for both cars will be confirmed at the Frankfurt motor show.
