ASTON Martin has unveiled its ultimate road going model which slots between the DB9 road car and the DBR9 track racer.
Unveiling the newcomer, Aston boss Ulrich Bez, says: 'The DBS is the ultimate expression of Aston Martin's engineering and technical ability. It offers pure performance without compromise.
'The DBS delivers the complete driving experience and bridges the gap between our road and track cars.
"Equally at home on a twisting mountain circuit as on the open road the DBS is a true thoroughbred."
Powered by a 6.0-litre V12 race-bred engine generating a massive 510bhp there is a top speed of 190mph, a 0-60mph acceleration time of just over four seconds and a price that Aston Martin will not reveal until September.
The DBS is due to go on sale next spring.
As a rough guide the standard 5.9-litre 450bhp DB9 Coupe costs £110,000 and the 520bhp 6.0-litre V12 Vanquish weighs in at £177,100.
