Aston Martin DBS |
But the manual mode is where this thing is best because it is simple. Really manual. Press the sport (something you have to do when you drive this car - the car is much sharper, both automated and manual so elected) and DBS will not upshift for you. You can really drive this Aston as hard as you want.
The shifts are not nearly as brutal as the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, and yet they feel so fast, but they are seamlessly and accurately assessed properly. There are enough pause between ratios, so you feel like you are interacting with the DBS.
It only adds to the experience of driving this car, and takes nothing away. The standard gearbox is a bit clunky and the shift lever itself is not a pretty thing. The Touchtronic layout is much cleaner. It feels more expensive. What it is, of £ 3,000, but if you're already spending £ 162,500, which is only a 1.8 percent increase. It is the easiest option, you'll cross on your DBS.
Another incentive to this latest DBS is the new Bang & Olufsen stereo system. There are now 13 speakers in the cabin, some of which are from a solid aluminum block to have been made to reduce vibrations. It's all very technical, as the B & O set-up can tell you what speed you are doing, how much wind and road noise there is, how many people in the car and put all the layers so that you never again violin volume or directional controls.
