For the 2008 model year, Aston Martin revived the DBS name for their new flagship car. The DBS is a grand tourer featuring a striking design as well as ample performance. Powered by a 5.9L V12 engine, the DBS produces 510hp and is capable of reaching over 190mph. This engine was paired to a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed 'Touchtronic' automatic transmission to send drive to the rear wheels. As this new DBS was built in coupe and 'Volante' convertible body styles, this lead to four main variants: Coupe - Manual, Coupe - Automatic, Volante - Manual, and Volante - Automatic. Aston Martin continued production of the Second Generation DBS until 2012, eventually reviving the name for 2019, when the Third Generation of DBS debuted, known as the DBS Superleggera.
