NFS Hot Pursuit Car Profiles: Aston Martin DBS Coupe

2010 Aston Martin DBS Coupe
Here's another car from the SCPD Rebels Pack. This time, it's from Aston Martin, and it happens to be one of the best cars of the DLC. You've seen my review of the DBS Volante, but only this coupe will make you feel like James Bond. You still get the same 6.0-liter V12 engine producing 510 horsepower. 0 to 60 is reached in 4.2 seconds on its way to a top speed of 191 MPH. This is all very cool, but in order for Mr. Bond to choose this car over, let's say a Lamborghini or a Porsche, there must be something that excites him about it.

High-Class Speed
First off, most spy agents use very discrete luxury cars for transport, and this is the most luxurious. Aston Martin isn't only about performance. They are also masters of luxury and design, proven with this DBS. The interior includes very rich leather and some carbon fiber. Outside, you get gorgeous looks with some sexy side vents and an awesome integrated rear wing. This is all very high class. So, you would wonder were the performance comes in.

Casino Royale Silver
Yes, the top speed of this car is 191 MPH. But, if you stretch the Nitrous, you should reach almost 218 MPH. Sounds impossible right? Believe it! It has been done, by me. This should be good, since spies, like James Bond, have to get from point A to point B very quickly. Speed isn't the only thing that's impressive with this car. It is quite heavy (3480 lb.), but when you drive it, it doesn't feel this way. You will be able to pull insane drifts and grippy corners in this car. I tested the handling at the ridge in Seacrest County. The car is very composed. Drifts are smooth and light, it's like sliding on chocolate cream pudding.

Luxury at a gas station
Jeremy Clarkson notified this car as the best car in the world. I can't see why not. It's very good. However, the bad thing about this car is that it's gopping expensive: $270,000 to be exact. No matter. You'll have fun driving this car in this game. You can even beat Gallardo Superleggera's with this car. Trust me. It's been done.
