DB9 v DBS

[sillyboy]

I never take pics in the car park but I couldn't resist it, apologies if the DBS is yours.
It's good to see the visual differences in the flesh..wow - what a motor!



If this works a few more pics to come!

I prefer the "depth" of the DBS's tbh. Infact it's bloody wonderful all over!

Both absolutely beautiful, the DBS edges it though, although I wouldn't say no to a DB9

Only seems deeper at its "cheeks". Like a chipmunk with stuff stuff in there.

They're also not proper vents by the look of it, and I can't see them making much/any difference aerodynamically.

Overly fussy details IMO. Aston don't do "body kits" as well as the Italian firms (possibly because the base car is much better as standard).

Edited to add - except the side strake indicators. The standard car, and the V8, should have these. Obvious place to put them and far neater than the round side indicator in the wing.

IMO I like the aggressive look. Its the drive that makes the difference and its just a little bit better in almost all area's, it also feels very exclusive to drive/own - as an Aston should

Both are gorgeous but the DBS edges it for me - love that rear diffuser. Not sure on the rear lights though...

where is that car park? Not Finsbury Sq?

I have a DB9 . I think the DBS is an improvement externally but when I sat in the DBS this week I was a little disappointed - it did not feel different enough from my DB9 - vey nice but clearly a tarted up DB9 .

Drive one- You will notice the difference more so then the looks. The extra power and the handling make a standard DB9 soft in comparison, although with the sports pack is it a lot better. IMO

Those are very interesting pictures. Apart from anything else you can now see exactly the difference between Tungsten and Casino Royale. I have never seen the 9 and the S compared better.

Zod - the gear changes are faster
