  • I don't understand why people are surprised...ITS A FERRARI.

  • hardcore, focused aston cant even beat a ferrari, gt cruiser convertible with four seats!

  • The aston martin driver don't know how to shift other wise it won

  • whether or not a car is good value, isn't just defined by sheer out and out performance. yes, if you wanted to buy a bear knuckle track car, for £180,000 you would expect much faster track times than the aston, but thats not what aston m are trying to achieve! you pay that money for pure quality, attention to detail, beauty and customer satisfaction. In the time it takes aston to paint a dbs, 12 whole Porsches are made! I went on a factory tour, they take so much pride and care over every car!

  • Aston Martin DBS= Me Happy

    Ferrari California=Me Happy

    Bugatti Veyron=Me Happy

    Chevy Camaro=Me Happy

    Honda Civic= Me Sad

  • IM not saying the ferrari california is slow but it costs alot more than the ordinary ferrari and its top speed is only 184 mph, which again is fast, but a F430 is cheaper and faster.

  • @clintstrehl631

    Nope, Californias top speed is 193mph and is the cheapest Ferrari available, about the F430, well, it's no longer in production so if you got one it'll be second hand so of course it'll be cheaper.

  • Id still take the Aston Martin DBS

  • why is Aston Martin so expensive and even slower??

  • @jasonintheuk

    im thinkin cuz its more luxurious or somethin

  • @jasonintheuk Hand built, British .. And the most beautiful car, the only thing Aston Martin care about is the luxury and material but Ferrari is all about super cars. 

  • I would take California anyday. to me, California look so much more beautiful and sexier than Aston

  • @370zking I think you haven't seen a DBS in real life. You just can't imagine how sexy a DBS is.

  • @NearTheLimits He's just blind! I like DBS as well. We know the style. lol

  • @NearTheLimits oh I saw a lot of DBS in real life. I live by the edgewater which is kinda ballers' town in NJ and yea, there are many. I mean DBS is smoking hot too. it's just my personal opinion my friend :)

  • @370zking damn you're right buddy.

  • i drove a 2008 Vantage.....yeah i know they look good and sound good, but it was F-ing slow dude.... i seen one get whooped by 2010 Lexus IS350 w/ intake

  • @kingnismor34 lol I have an Yamaha R1 2010 and I blow your ugly Zonda ahahahahahahahah lol :-D

  • @kingnismor34 You understand nothing ... I spoke about beauty class and exclusivility ... but NOT about power. Powered car are for small dick and frustered men ;-))

  • @kingnismor34 Yes DBS should have at least 600-620bhp... right. But sorry to say that, the Zonda F is the most ugly car I have seen ... lol :-D

  • @kingnismor34 sorry but you can not compare an SL with an Aston DBS ... One is a perfekt and class body car and the other ... is a Mercedes :-D

  • An Aston Martin owner buy this car because of Beauty, Class and Exclusivity ... but not to be the fastest on road .... The pleasure is elsewhere ;-)

  • Aston Martin is a wonderful car...i just don´t like the fact that thay fit a huge engine such as a V12 but it´s got no power...a 490 bhp v12?? come on!!!! that´s V6 power!!! the only worth of the V12 is the one 77....but that is the most powerful naturally aspirated V12 in the world!!1 i´m thinking...what if the DBS had something like 650 bhp??

  • @juancho939 are you sure? what about mclaren f1

  • @blacksoilder10 as far as I know mclaren is not aston martin

  • @juancho939 yes it is. lol but no really, the f1 is faster and is also natrauly asperaited*

  • @blacksoilder10 The mclaren if the fastest naturally aspirated V12...top speed 391 km/h....the One 77 is the most powerful...7.5 Litre V12 750 BHP....the mclaren managed 627 if i can remember

  • Everyone says the Ferrari is the baddest car around but look what people are missing!

  • All thats letting this Car down against the California is its gearbox... Dual Clutches are that much faster that it makes all the difference...id still rather the DBS though... stunning car!

  • cmon both cars are pretty!!

  • I am sorry but ferrari sounds better, and not just the california but all ferraris!

    Also, even aston is a great looking car, california has the italian beauty. So...

  • @theodoro89 and the aston martin has the english style , the famous english class..and you know my dear friend that u.k is better than italy.

  • @PitbullMalibu Maybe u.k. is the best country in the world but aston martin isn't a legend like ferrari. (i am not from italy or u.k. Just sayin' my opinion... :) )

  • @theodoro89 i respect your opion, but i don't agree with you my friend ..aston martin is a leggendary car

  • its kind of embarrasing that the fastest aston martin in the range lost to the slowest ferrari in the range.

  • @cardude1992 Think again.

  • @platinumguitar well it is since its just about as fast as the v12 vantage. and the one-77 is very exclusive and not included in the range for just anyone to buy. i bet they are already sold out.

  • @cardude1992 Lol fastest Aston

  • @cardude1992 vanquish v12 S is the fastest

  • @cardude1992 The fastest Aston is not the DBS ... but the One-77. Just for your information ;-)

  • @rolieu i know that but its super exclusive and cant be considered in the same category as other cars on sale because its probably already all sold out.

  • @cardude1992

    Don't forget about the one-77;)

  • @cardude1992 but would you have the ugly Ferrari or the beautiful DBS?

  • @petrolhead229 458 is more beautiful to me then the dbs.

  • @cardude1992 the one-77?

  • @cardude1992

    dbr?

    

  • @resort125 there is no DBR.. (not road legal)

  • @cardude1992 who cares ... aston martin looks so sexy!

  • @cardude1992 Well Aston has quit a few cars faster than the DBS - V12 Vantage, DBR9, and not to mention the One-77

  • Ferrari=No.1

  • i seriously try to understand why people like astons but i dont understand u watch them in real but i really dont like them beautiful and nobody looks at them maybe with an xKR u ll have more eyes on you .... i m starting to tell my self maybe aston is doing publicity on youtube by creating tons of accounts

  • You can gush about looks all you want but performance is packaged in the engine, not the style. The fact that a V8 embarrassed a V12 shows you how much Aston Martin really cares about what a car is truly meant for. If you enjoy aesthetics that much, buy art or fashion.

  • @SPMNDK89 A DBS is art and fashion.

  • @HardheadzNL Then I guess people who want actual performance cars can skip it.

  • @SPMNDK89 If you're just looking for performance then yes, you can skip it. But if you're looking for an awesome total package, and aren't spending most of your time on a track, then it's a car to seriously consider buying.

  • @HardheadzNL I'm not saying it's an undesirable car, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying Aston Martin is probably the only brand that makes exclusive premium automobiles and can get away with having less than mind-blowing performance. And yes I understand companies like Porsche and Ferrari are very track-day oriented. However, take a car like this California which is meant to be more of a tourer and you can imagine it can still hold its own on a track.

  • @SPMNDK89 I agree that Aston Martin is pricey for the performance you get. But keep in mind the DBS has been around since 2008. And also if you check out the Top Gear track times it measures up to a Murcielago and a Zonda S (yes, yes both "old", but proper supercars), which is not bad considering it's a very comfortable GT. Granted the 599 is nearly 3 seconds faster. In the real world the DBS performs great, just as long as you keep it of the track you won't notice you get beaten by Porsches.

  • @HardheadzNL With all the competition churning out new superstars, I bet the DBS is due for a proper replacement. I think that's why the Virage was launched, to fill the gap between the Vantage and the DBS replacement we'll probably see within two years. And yes, the Aston Martin crowd will more likely be caught at a social gala where you're expected to know how you want your martini prepared so considering that, the owners probably don't complain about the nitty gritty details of the engine.

  • @SPMNDK89 So, we've finally reached an agreement. I will have a DBS and socialize, while you race around the track in an Ascari A10. Which is properly exclusive and fast.

  • @HardheadzNL Agreed. Actually, we could also opt for the new Aventador which is midway between our distinctive personalities. (Unless Lamborghini styling appalls you, which is understandable because their cars are extremely polarizing, you either love them or loathe them).

  • @SPMNDK89 I don't mind the styling perse, it's more the Lamborghini owners and the fact that it's common to like Lambo's. I love underrated things. Like to assert myself. I vote we have a 911 Turbo S. Looks good, but still civilized and low profile, insane performance, very usable and even comfortable. The best allrounder imo.

    Or all of the above :)

  • @HardheadzNL Indeed, the turbo S is amazing and the styling does not scream for attention and it has the acceleration times of the Veyron, guess companies under the VW group do check in with each other. But yes, I do find Porsches to be more tasteful and less over-the-top extravagant. Hopefully the next gen Panamera looks a bit better. Haha, I guess we can be friends after all.

  • @SPMNDK89 If you like Porsche we can definitely be friends.

    I think the Panamera Turbo looks good in black. The back took a lot of getting used to, and is still not it's best feature. But the whole car is very stately, it has a presence about it which is exactly the presence I'd want in a car.

  • DBS is a shit quality car - trust me.

  • Get an DBS with 3 pedals and get a good driver, then we will see. Astons should be only bought in manual.

  • The DBS is perhaps slower but she is the most beautiful car in the world. Too sexy and perfect body ;-) A pure class

  • @SwissLifeStyle completely agreed....

  • aston martin doesnt need to win races, coz its a sexy classy car with an orgasmic sound

  • ASTON MARTIN NEVER WIN RACES!!

  • california looks nice

  • California > DBS

  • u guys need to get the 0-60 time right for the dbs i mean u guys are confused between 0-60 and 0-62

    the dbs does 0-60 in 4.19 second and 0-62 is in 4.3 seconds

  • I would take the Aston... but Ferrari builds some amazing machines. California is a V8 with Dual Clutch, 0-60 3.9 193mph car... weighs 3600lbs with 450hp compared to the Aston Martin DBS? V12 510hp 0-60 4.3sec and top speed around 190ish all at 3700lbs....smaller engine, less Horsepower, weighs more and beats the Aston Martin..... Not sure if its driver error here but dang... I guess Ferrari can build cars.

  • @JuergenGDB the ferrari has quicker and better gearing

  • @JuergenGDB no the dbs does 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, 0-62 is in 4.3 seconds and the top speed of it is 191 mph

  • @JuergenGDB also not only the ferrari has 450hp, it has 485 lb ft of torque so thats why its a little faster

  • and I would still rather have the Aston.

  • dat ass....ton

  • sad day for that aston

  • Still would rather have the DBS. Ferrari certainly have some excellent shifting gearboxes though.

  • wTATS THE SPEED OF THE LP 560 COMPARE TO THE DBS?

  • Martin's cars are for prestige and show off only, they ain't meant to race.

  • @3yar1983

    Wrong. Martins are styly and classy cars, not shouty show-off cars like ferrari and lambos, not to mention paganis and koenigseggs. They look more like cars than spaceships which I'm sure, anyone over 30 yo can surely appreciate.

  • I can tell by the engine sound that the driver is not even pushing the DBS...

  • @MyTubeUser321 yes he his you dumbfuc, he always pushes the car to the limit with his friends. PLUS this was the same result on top gear...

  • @radar3699 and I'm supposed to believe some internet fanboy who hasn't driven (and never will) a V12 Aston? I actually had the privilege of driving a DB9 (same engine as the DBS, but the DBS version is tuned for more power) and when I pushed it, the engine had a bit higher pitch than in this video That's how I can tell. The California would still win due to the DBS' transmission but that wasn't my point. Now go back to playing Test Drive or with your matchbox cars kid.

  • both slow as hell

  • DBS is way too heavy

  • good job you can get the 650 upgrade for the DBS, it gives it the power it should have had to begin with... 0-60 is down to 3.2 and top speed is an amazing 224 mph....... come on ferrari now do your best!!!!

  • I wish the California weren't so hideous.

    Great car. But a total butterface.

  • aston is not for racing its style+little power for street fun not racing! plus ferraris have a race mode option i dont think astons do so un-fair!

  • the back of the ferrari looks like a retarted face with buckteeth

  • @hondahoss17 no mate thats you looking in the mirror.

  • didnt think that the dbs is so "slow"

  • And id still take the aston

  • aston driver sucks. he changed gear too soon

  • The California could quite possibly be the only ugly Ferrari ever made.

  • aston martins are slow :(

  • would have been nice to be in the ferrari looking at the amazingly beautiful aston rather than looking at a dull ferrari :/

  • Ferrari owns Asston Martin! Viva Ferrari!

  • well these cars are nice... but i dont think ill ever have enough money to afford one

  • @gm556 haha that's what I say every time I see a nice car.

  • @gm556

    well you never know buddy. you live in a beautiful country and lots of opportunities hope the economy come back soon and maybe one day you drive the one you love :)

  • not worth the money i don't care what anyone says this is a crap car. The performance is crap, not the actual car.

  • if lady car could beat a james bond car..... damn

  • weight kills the DBS

  • @5999cc  true ........

  • italian v8 vs aston v12

  • ferrari rules

  • I'd rather wake up to an aston martin every morning

  • @borladyno No question. Neither of these cars are made for producing the best lap-time so for me things like appearance, interior look and feel, and engine/exhaust note have to take precedent. From that perspective there really is no comparison between the two. Aston DBS is best in this class IMO.

  • @borladyno not really.. DBS is too expensive and it doesnt worth it price.. i rather drive Yaris

  • @MRBMW10 take the price out of the picture, cause if thats the case a nissan gtr would be a better car than the stupid california

  • English cars are slow

  • haha...you heard about the aston martin one 77?

  • dbs shuld be called pos PIECE OF SHIT!

  • dbs shuld be called pos

  • no duh the ferrari is lighter than the dbs and it has a flappy paddle gear box but the dbs doesnt

  • Comment removed

  • damn thats a fast dbs..

  • the dbs is TOO DAMN HEAVY, that's why it can't beat the california~!!!

  • aston is still sexier

  • Aston cornors better

  • Aston Martin is british fucking garbage, its a V12 which is 50% larger than the California's V8 AND the california is a convertible, thats the biggest fucking joke ive ever heard

  • @ABostonElite id like to see you try and make something better, and by the way? if its so shit what car have you got?

  • @sebbas31 We are discussing super cars and super car developers you fucking idiot. Nothing to do with me or you. Aston Martins are over priced SHIT. THEY DONT LOOK LIKE THEIR WORTH $400,000 AND THEY ARE SLOW AND GAY. GO FUCK YOUR DAD

  • @ABostonElite people are entitled to their opinion and i respect yours. but what you said about my dad was out of order and by the way you missed something out of your reply to me..... what car have you got?

  • @ABostonElite a jaguar is better than aston martin

  • i thinking the dbs is faster than california?

  • @88matheos1 nah, DBS is my #1 dream car but sad to say it isnt. top gear proved that.

    although ferrari has less hp and torque it gets it in less revs than the dbs

  • NO,Aston Martins are just slow as shit.

  • The reason that the California was catching up was all down to its gear change. In the Aston you have to push a clutch pedal down, select a gear, release the clutch pedal and accelerate again. In the California however, you pull a paddle and bang your off. If the Aston had a Ferrari gear box then it would be down to the laws of physics to decide.

  • DBS looks better and sounds better

  • @AddersZXR4 definitely true!!

  • holy shit goes to show that even if ferrari build a convetible its still fukin agreesive and fast

  • i have suscribed....my job is done here

  • i dunw why this aston always loses

  • Comment removed

  • The guy on the Aston needs to learn how to drive

  • All those cylinders got beat like that???

  • Aston Martin has a big ass!

  • aston was in a wrong gear

  • It sounded like the guy in the Aston started from maybe 3rd gear?

  • ferrari leads!!!!

  • Honestly what is that Aston good for... looks, don't face it for heavens sake it's just going to lose to anything

  • @nabslp670 I guess your not a racer then... or an avid Race fan perhaps of ALMS, or LMS... Aston Martin has won many races, and out of the box its a pretty solid car that looks amazing.

  • @JuergenGDB I am very aware of that, I wasn't talking about Aston as a whole but just the DBS. For its price it should be faster!

  • @nabslp670 Well you were being just a bit over dramatic, could be the driver as well is not familiar with the car, or launch capabilities. I would not sell the Aston short of anything. At least that car is racing... the California is not.

  • two of the best looking supercars there is, just stunning!

  • thumbs up if you think the California looks stunning 

  • That California is way faster than I thought it was! I can't believe that Aston Martin can only get 510 bhp from a 6 liter V12. That's sad. The Ferrari 599 GTB has the same displacement and cylinders and gets 620 bhp.

  • @dudegotskills plus look how slow it is for 510hp....:( 

    A DBS body with a 599 engine would be the ultimate GT!

  • @aieljose Yeah no kidding. I love the 599 but I do think the DBS is better looking. It's just a shame that it doesn't have the power it deserves.

  • I would like to see the DBS vs an XKR

  • @cerbman1 I raced a DBS with an XFR, and I owned it.

    It's just a nice looking car, but it's never a competition.

  • @temospreamo Sorry, but which car were you in? On paper the DBS should win, but....?

  • @cerbman1 I was in the XFR, the DBS has a very good launch, but downhill all the way later. Go to my channel and check out my acceleration video of the XFR.

  • @temospreamo You would expect it to do that to a DB9, but a DBS, that's impressive

  • aston is probably 6-speed manual....isnt it ?

  • damn i did not think the the cali was that fast but holy shit

  • I can always count on m5board/gtboard to bring me the races I'm actually curious about. Thanks guys keep up the good work!

  • was it just me or did the dbs short shift twice? and off the start had good rpm in first and dumped it to 2nd at low rpm?

  • aston = overweight and underpowered

  • @fishboy01 r u serious, it weighs 3400lbs and has a 510bhp v12?

  • @redfoxtrident EXACTLY!!! bentley's supersport v12 has 612 hp, rolls royce's v-12 puts out more bhp for crying out loud... underpowered. aston martin litterally produces the slowest v-12 in the industry. bmw, ferrari, lambo, rolls, bentley, mecedes benz, and maybach's v-12's all top the aston martins. honestly it's the slowest car in it's class... it's one of the more beautiful and comfortable cars, don't get me wrong, but it's really the slowest in ti's class. what car does it beat, really?

  • @redfoxtrident it's a touring car... not a supercar. it's 0-60 time is 4.2, the standard db9 is roughly the speed of a 25k gt mustang with it's 4.7 0-60 time. i'm just saying. it's a car driven by luxury over speed and it shows... i'm just saying, it did just get smoked by a 450hp v8 converitble that weighes 3600lbs

  • how can 450 bhp beat 500 ?

    oh yes and bring next time a bugatti veyron or veyron SS :D

  • the aston's gears seem too long dont you think?
