I know you all have read about this earlier but I still have to tell about it. The DBS, a DB9 which has been modded into the James Bond version and will “doing mission” with James Bond in the latest 007 movie, Casino Royale.

The good news is, the DBS 007 edition was not exclusively built for James Bond, Aston Martin company will built another 300 units for the public.

The DBS is a car that between the DB9 and the DBR9, which was design for racing at Le Mans. The DBS will not as extreme as the DBR9 but will be more extreme that the DB9. Using the the 6.0-litre V12 engine, which is used by the DB9, the DBS can produce a mere 500hp++. Suppose the engine is only producing 450hp but the company has upgraded the engine to more than 500hp.

The car is is lowered by 25mm and rides on with the chromed 10-spoke 20-inch wheels. But the wheels may not make production.The top speed of the DBS is expected to be over 320km/h. and remember, the machine guns and rockets are not included in this car when you purchase it!

The interior will be more cool than the DB9 with its quilted leather and race-style bucket seats with the DBS logo and some features specially for James Bond. The leather and wood of the DB9 are replaced by plenty of carbon fibre for more sporty-looking.

There’s also a pistol shaped slot in the glovebox but probably won’t make production.

The concept sketch of the DBS.

Another old Aston also will star in Casino Royale.

Just reminding you all: The movie Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig will premiers on 17 November 2006.
