Aston Martin DBS Submodels
The Aston Martin DBS nameplate has a storied history, first appearing in 1967 on a grand tourer that replaced the DB6. The modern iteration, produced from 2007 to 2012, revived the name for a flagship model based on the DB9. It gained worldwide fame as James Bond's vehicle in 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace,' cementing its place in pop culture. In 2018, the name returned again for the DBS Superleggera, a twin-turbocharged super GT.
Collectors are drawn to the 2007-2012 DBS for its potent 510 hp 5.9L naturally aspirated V12 and extensive use of carbon fiber. It was the last flagship Aston to offer a traditional 6-speed manual gearbox, making those cars exceptionally desirable. Available as a coupe or a Volante convertible, its blend of aggressive styling and classic GT proportions creates a powerful presence. It represents a high point for modern, analog Aston Martins.
The market for the DBS is segmented by generation. The 2007-2012 cars have found a stable footing after initial depreciation, with prices for the rare manual coupes appreciating steadily. The more common Touchtronic automatic models offer a more accessible entry point. With an average sale price around $155,000, these cars represent significant performance and style for the money, while the newer Superleggera models still command higher prices.
Buying Tips
- Check the condition of the standard carbon ceramic brakes. They last a long time but are very expensive to replace, so look for any signs of chipping or excessive wear.
- Inspect all carbon fiber body panels, including the front splitter and rear diffuser, for cracks, delamination, or damage from road debris. Repairs are specialized and costly.
- A complete and consistent service history is non-negotiable. Look for documentation from Aston Martin main dealers or recognized specialists. On manual cars, inquire about the clutch life and last replacement.
- Test all interior functions. The pop-up navigation screen, climate controls, and crystal key fob can be prone to electronic issues that are expensive to fix.
- The 6-speed Graziano manual gearbox is coveted but rare. The 6-speed ZF Touchtronic 2 automatic is more common and generally reliable, but be sure it shifts smoothly in both auto and manual modes.
Prices range from around $50,249 for project cars to $400,000 for pristine, low-mileage manual examples and newer DBS Superleggera models.
