The 2008 – 2012 DBS, particularly those built with the 6-speed manual gearbox, has firmly established itself as one of the most sought after and collectible Aston Martin’s from the famed 1st generation of production (2004-2018) at the Gaydon factory. In fact, it has probably been our most requested model of 2026 so far.
Building on both the critical and commercial success of the DB9, introduced in 2004 and the first car to be built at the new Gaydon production facility, using the all new VH chassis platform, the DBS was first shown in January 2006 as a design sketch and in an announcement that James Bond would be driving one in the next 007 movie, Casino Royale.
Inspired by the awesome DBR9 GT1 race car, which by then was achieving great success in International Sports car racing and winning the hearts of racing fans the world over, the DBS was to be a direct descendent of the DBR9 and a DB9 with a harder edge, a DB9 with more menace.
In November of 2006, the DBS made a dramatic debut in all new 007 film, starring, for the first time, Daniel Craig and made its first public debut at Pebble Beach in the summer of 2007.
Production started in late 2007, with the first customer deliveries starting in the first quarter of 2008.
The DBS was intended to be a more driver focused, super GT. The V12 engine was tuned to 510bhp, an increase from 450bhp in the DB9, enough to cut the 0-60mph time from 4.9 to 4.2sec and lift the top speed from 186 to 191mph.
It featured a number of first for Aston Martin: Carbon Ceramic brakes, adaptive damping and the use of carbon fibre body panels; the boot enclosure, boot lid, door opening surrounds, front wings and bonnet. Shaving 65kg’s of the weight of a DB9.
At launch, no doubt to position the model as a ‘drivers’ car and probably to avoid cannibalising sales from the DB9, the DBS was available as a manual only and with 2+0 seating.
This superb example is finished in Toro Red. Using data supplied by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, we are able to confirm that just 9 DBS’ were built in this exterior colour, 2 of which for the UK RHD market, both of which were Manual, 2+0 configuration.
The cabin is trimmed in Obsidian Black Semi aniline hides, with Alcantara seat inserts. To complement the exterior colour, the contrast stitching, throughout is Red with the optional Piano Black facia providing a welcomed luxurious feel. The fantastic, unmarked condition of the interior suggests a cherished life led!
First registered in March 2009 and having covered just 16,670 miles from new, the condition, throughout, is superb and as close to a new car you can hope for from a 17-year-old car. Servicing has been carried out by Aston Martin main agents and by ourselves, on a no expense spared basis, since 2021, including its most recent service and maintenance in May of this year.
What we would consider a ‘collector grade’ example, supplied to its next owner fully prepared and detailed, with 12 months warranty, along with a full complement of keys, owner’s manual and detailed history file.
Available for viewing and a demonstration now at our showrooms in Hertfordshire.
