2023 Aston Martin DBS Review // Brutality Overload

The 2023 Aston Martin DBS ($406,086 as spec’d in the US) aims to provide the ultimate Grand Touring experience. Propelled by a twin turbo V12 that makes a ferocious 715 horsepower, and with a claimed top speed of 211 mph (340 kph), the DBS appears to deliver in both speed and power. And with its long sleek hood and intimidating design language, it’s hard to deny the DBS’ curb appeal. But how does it perform as a proper GT car? Ride quality, comfort, and engine personality are all important facets of a GT car that’s able to excite its driver. Thomas and James spend some time with the 2023 Aston Martin DBS to see what it’s capable of, and if it truly does provide the ultimate Grand Touring experience.
