Q: How low do the Aston Martin DBS and DB9 sit above the ground?
I know the DBS is lower, but by how much? It looks like it would be tricky to drive in urban environments.

A: The DB9 sits 83mm above the ground,
the DBS sits 72mm abouve the ground.
Neither are especailly tricky to drive in urban areas, but as with all prestige cars, be careful!

Q: How does the Aston Martin DBS key work?
I know the DBS has a very special key, it´s a Saphire key. You insert it into the key hole, and it glows red meaning the engine is ready to start, is this true? Or does it just use a normal key?

A: Instead of a key, the Aston Martin DBS uses an “ECU,” or emotion control unit. It’s a rectangle of black plastic capped by a rectangle of crystal with the Aston Martin badge inside. Like any other remote key, it has lock, unlock and trunk functions. Unlike most other remote keys, it sinks all the way into the ignition slot until the top of the crystal is flush with the console. Also, it lacks a hole for a keyring, which can make for some panicky ECU moments. Luckily, it’s heavy enough to be noticed no matter what pocket you slip it into.

Q: What is the release date for the 2008 Aston Martin DBS and Aston Martin’s Vanquish S?
I would like the year and I would also like to know if it is sold in the Ohio or any of the other states. Details about the cars would be helpful if it is possible. Thank you very much!

A: Have you been stuck in a cupboard for the last year my friend? 2008 has gone. Check out Yahoo! Autos, and select your car under the used cars, make sure that you set the distance to nationwide. That’s a very nice, and expensive car(s). If your going to buy either, hats off to you. I personally have been working towards getting a decent down payment for a Ferrari, but I’m getting out of topic. Hope it helps. Good luck!

Q: Where do I find a replacement James Bond Aston Martin DBS RC Car Antenna?
It was originally purchased at Radio Shack and they no longer have it. I’ve tried a few hobby stores in town but they have all gone out of business.

A: Ebay or google shopping.

Q: 10 points for the first person to find me pictures of a black Aston Martin DBS?
Has to be desktop wallpaper size, the car must be black (not matt), and it must be the production version and not the concept.

A: http://www.flickr.com/photos/noahgillard/2770115584/

I searched in yahoo images.

Q: Which Car Would You Rather Have Aston Martin DBS or Bentley Continental GT?
You can answer on pool here: http://www.harddecision.com/2009/01/20/bentley-continental-gt-vs-aston-martin-dbs/
I’d rather have Bentley Continental, cause I think it shows more prestige than DBS.

A: I would get the Bently.

Higher Top speed. Quicker acceleration. AWD so it is drivable in snow.

Q: So if you saw the Yahoo article about Lysacek wanting to buy an Aston Martin DBS, where is the money coming?
How does he get the money to buy the car? Do the olympics pay you to be a winner? How much do you get paid? Or are his parents buying it?

A: Is he the ice skater or the racy photo guy. It would be esy to say the pictures got him a ton of dough. I should know. If he is a skater then endorsement deals will buy him the aston martin.

so i would say go for the black.

Q: How to open the gas cap of an Aston Martin DBS?
Don’t worry, i will not steal the car! XD I’m just curious. Thanks in advance! ;-)

A: If i’m not mistaken there is a button under the bottom the the driver seat to release the cap…this is pretty common on most import cars.

Q: Whats the difference Between the aston martin dbs and the aston martin db9?

A: one has s in its name other has a 9 :)

Q: which car would you choose the ferrari Scaglietti vs aston martin dbs vs lamborgini dbs vs sl65brabus?
which car would you choose and why
i mean the lp640

A: Lamborghini DBS??
I would take the Lamborghini (gallardo, superleggera, lp560), but the Aston DBS would be a very, very close second. I would actually prefer the V8 vantage, i think it looks, and sounds better.

Q: i thaught james bond quantum of solace was sopouse to have an aston martin dbs chace seen?
i thaught james bond quantum of solace was sopouse to have an aston martin dbs chace seen

A: it does right at the beginning. During filming, the stunt driver delivering the car for the scenes lost control of the car in April 2008 in a severe storm, and drove the only car then reportedly available for filming into Lake Garda.
To the post above. Quantum of Solace is the title of a short story written by Ian Flemming as well as the movie.

Q: which car is better Audi r8 or Aston Martin DBS?
I know both cars are nice, however based on comparing price, speed, fuel economy etc. which ones is better? Thanks for taking your time and answering.

A: The Audi benefits from better engineering than the Aston Martin. They have similar performance in a straight line, but the Audi handles so much better. The Audi is less expensive than the Aston Martin, and it also gets better fuel economy. However, the Aston Martin is much more exclusive. Both cars are drop-dead gorgeous, but if you’re looking to pick up members of the opposite sex, then the Aston Martin DBS is the car for you, simply because of Casino Royale. It has been described as “sex on wheels.” Personally, I enjoy the driving experience more than cruising the strip or Rodeo Drive, so I would choose the Audi R8. It is also better given the parameters you defined.

Q: How much does Aston Martin DBS V12 have….?
I was just wondering. How much horsepower does a Aston Martin DBS V12 have. And also how much Fully loaded do they run ??? Thanks….

A: 512 horsepower/ 420 lbs of torque. There is no basemodel version, they are priced with an MSRP of 269,000
