New or Significantly Altered Models

2008 Aston Martin DBS
The new DBS coupe is a heavily modified two-seat variant of the DB9 coupe. A more powerful V12 engine and extensive use of lightweight carbon fiber afford increased performance. Styling changes include more aggressively styled hood, front end, and ground effects.
2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Convertible
The new V8 Vantage convertible is a soft-top variant of the V8 Vantage coupe. The power operated convertible top retracts in 18 seconds. A reinforced chassis counteracts the loss of the roof structure. The convertible is otherwise the same as the coupe.
