  • Does Aston throw in a Walther PPK with every purchase of one of these? For the price they need to. I think I'd rather have a V8 Vantage that still sounds just as good, but about half the price.

  • OK, which arse changed the description =.=

  • This Aston is my favorite :) except the one-77 but I'll never get one.

  • @iSubmission You can't seriously prefer this to the DB9?

  • The description XD

    If indeed this is a Honda type R is a very good looking one

  • A British engineering masterpiece :D

  • anyone hear the cameraman snort at 7:24?

  • Ah, this is why Bond drives it. Same lap time as a Zonda, but we all know how understated and subtle Mr. Bond is :)

  • beautiful

  • Hello Clarckson, i hope you read this.

    Today i saw this car, it is now on Dutch license plate. The owner told me that you droved it, so this is the car you drived!

  • I'm sorry Clarckson, but I'll have to disagree you on this one. The point of owning a DBS is stoping at some fancy club, putting your windows down and saying to the hot looking girl standing next to you on the pavement: My name is Bond. James Bond. :D

  • "not as fast as the Vanquish" really?

  • I'm dying to own this car, i simply love it ! i wish i could have one by now ! nchallah

  • @jk2008jk P

  • Could anyone tell me what colour this dbs, because it might just be me, but the camera seems to trick you quite alot about the colour, So does anyone know the specific name of the colour?

  • @TheChokeslam123 i think its called british racing green

  • Don't get me wrong but the DBS is much much prettier than the DB9....

  • manual gear box...looks nice.

  • please santa can i have the car for chrimbo it's so fit

  • Aston Martin DBS : my favorite car

  • oh Dear Santa.....

  • What a sound...

  • I would live in a shit house and own this car rather than living in a nice house with a shit car

  • MATEYS... DBS stands for double barreled SHOTGUN or death by sex... I like the first one best....

  • hiya bin so geil

  • what's with the type R ?

  • lmao @ description

  • Those bastards on TopGear piss me off sometimes... Always driving bad ass cars that I can only dream of... XD

  • @DisbandedLetter Work hard and buy one.

  • @dilligafone you say horrible. i say its beautiful. i may not be British, but this color is what defines aston martin imo. ever since ive laid eyes on an aston martin, i knew that if i ever had a million dollars i would still get an aston, especially in BRG. it just has that unique look of saying its an aston.

  • @cptkorean agreed. If I had an Aston I would get it in that colour.

  • Audi R8 or Aston Martin ?

  • @Vi3tFire9 Aston Martin, but if you want a better car for the track its gotta be the R8.

  • i love the Vanquish...so clean...

  • "It's called a government, and I don't like that either."

    Oh Clarkson, you're so awesome.

  • I have to say that, excluding the three super cars that America produces, most of our high end sports cars (corvettes, dodge vipers, etc.) are just good "go in a straight line" cars. Put them on tracks and all the power they produce just vanish...They look great though.

  • @seporokey Just because they're American doesn't mean they aren't good on corners. They actually are good at handling.

  • @letsride84 I wouldn't say they aren't good, just others are better. :)

  • @seporokey Just like how there's better handling cars to Porsche 911 Turbos and McLaren MP4-12C's? Because since there is, then how is the Corvette so different?

  • @letsride84 Corvettes, on the track, have trouble (for lack of a better word) drifting with the precision of say, a Nissan Skyline or BMW M-Series. Again, I would like to emphasis that the Corvette isn't bad, just that others are better. American muscle cars tend to have poor traction, so when putting power around around a corner, much of it is burnt out. Even so, Dodge Viper is still my favorite car of all time haha.

  • @seporokey The Corvette is a SPORTS car, not a muscle car. I trust that you know the difference? So, that means it's NOT just a good "go in a straight line" car. That's what the muscle car is for. And you're talking about "drifting", which I'm just trying to make sure that that IS what you're talking about. That's not what people mean when they say "handling". EVERY car has cars that are better than it so what you said in your first comment was pointless.

  • @letsride84 Seems like we merely have a communication misunderstanding. Ok, to lay the foundation for our conversation, I will clarify. We will say the Corvette is a sports car, and we will be talking about how well it handles compared to European and Asian cars while on the track. Now we won't have misunderstandings from here on out. Also nothing is bettter than a Bugatti!(Just kidding of course.)

  • @seporokey That didn't clarify anything Captain Obvious. I've already proved my point when I said, "The Corvette is a SPORTS car, not a muscle car. So, that means it's NOT just a good "go in a straight line" car." Whereas what you said in your first comment, "(they) are just good 'go in a straight line' cars". There's a difference between having good handling and being just a good "go in a straight line" car, otherwise it wouldn't be just a good "go in a straight line" car. I've made my point.

  • @letsride84 Well, in that case I guess there is nothing left ti discuss :), have a good day sir.

  • Uuuuh! this is torture, positive one. Why does he have to bring about other Aston Martins, like was not enough? Estatic!

  • How do you take the key out

  • @TheOlliemac99 easy you just push it and it ejects, like a floppy disc in a computer.

  • @xXTrueSShotX U r completely wrong

    Brits make some of the best and prettiest cars in the world espacially Aston Martin

    American cars are generally striking

  • @xXTrueSShotX Get some taste, get some class, stop taking drugs, and then come back and comment.

  • @xXTrueSShotX

    I guess you're the type for aggressive, striking motifs and bold, straight lines. British cars have sexy, graceful curves, like a beautiful woman. Different strokes for different folks.

  • @xXTrueSShotX ahhhh hahaha awwh thats comedy...goodness your funny. best thing is if you were serious id slaughter you :)

  • @xXTrueSShotX Leave Americans to making cars!? LMAO!!!! American cars haven't got shit on British cars!!!!1

  • a gear lever like a power ranger's leg? In the magazines he said it was like terminator's dick

  • better have the price of the Honda

  • I dont care about Jeremy's criticisms...id sell my soul for this car.

  • What's the db9's time ?

  • I never knew that honda made the DBS.

  • I thought I pissed my self but actually its just a massive amount of drool sitting on my pants.

  • When I get this car, I'm going to go to random places where there's a lot of people, turn off my dbs, and then turn it back on to scare the crap outta everyone with that gorgeous rumble.

  • @pokesfan92 when i think you mean if you do and i dont think anyone would insure a 19 year old with a dbs

  • @2011CJM let me guess. You read the "92" in my name and immediately thought that was my birth year. Wrong. And I do mean "when" because people who always live their lives in doubt never get very far. I'm not one of those people. :)

  • @pokesfan92 well theres one thing living in doubt but i think getting a £150000 car is in a different league

  • @pokesfan92 the annoying thing is thres is a dick round my town who has a DBS and is always showing it off.....if you wanna see it type in......aston martin dbs in workington

  • @2011CJM there's a fine line between pride and just wanting attention. He looks like the latter. He's probably one of those guys that have a small dick and so they buy expensive cars for collateral. I like Aston Martins for the cars they are, not the attention that comes with it...although that is a nice perk XD

  • @pokesfan92 yeah he owns a baby and childrens dress shop (very expensive) for weedings and stuff and he owns a large joinery buisness and goes strolling around town trying to get attention....he has a very wierd car history he had a dbs sold it for an audi r8 v10 and then sold the r8 a few months later for a dbs........... p.s he has a shit house

  • @2011CJM lmao what a dumbass. Why would anyone downgrade from a V12 Aston to a V10 Audi?! The DBS is at least 100K more than the R8. I guess he should have kept the R8 and used the leftover money from the DBS for a down payment on a decent house lol I guess that would make too much sense though

  • @pokesfan92 The Audi R8 V10 has 2 more horsepower than the DBS V12. Strange, when you think about it; two more cylinders, yet the Audi has more bhp.

  • @gherrera29 That's because Audi's V10 is designed by Lamborghini. Also Aston's are seldom built for flat out speed. Aston's are meant to be stylish and practical. They're real Grand Touring cars.

  • The button at 4:09 looks like a Sonic Screwdriver dispenser.

  • That is the best looking Aston, and I adore the color. If I had 200 or so thousand to spend on a car this would be it, in that color.

  • i'm really considering buy honda civic type DBS

  • y the hell is this car so expensive...its pretty yea but nothin real special bout wat iy does..plus it gets 10mpg in the city(beside the point) but when much more powerful cars get better mpg...i juss dont se what justifies this price tag..aston are prob the most overpriced cars in the world

  • "OHH MY GODDD I WET MYSELFFFF"

  • why is that if its a british car they wait for the track to dry, but for the R8 V-10 and ZR1 they didn't one of the many reasons why i dont like Top Gear

  • @itchytasty100 cuz it was drying right then. it's not like they had to wait days for it to dry out

  • the most sexy ashton to date besides Vanquish S ans One 77

  • *DBS

  • A green gts, strange

  • @piskapiskapiska because honda civic type R is the best car in the world it has VTEC!!!!!!! fuck off haters

  • They lied about the time didnt seem that fast,as British u have to keep ur British balls bigger than the others....not fair..sometimes I don't like top gear...to egocentric...

  • so what episode is this?

  • Does anyone know the car that made the fastest time on their track?

  • @RandomKoitsu11 ariel atom v8 500

  • @andrewgsupbrah Thanks:)

  • @RandomKoitsu11 Renault F1. =))

  • @RandomKoitsu11 aston martin dbr9

  • so this is where the Honda Type R info is at if you watch the Honda type r video it talks about F1

  • Price? Euro's please?

  • @111thomas1111 250,000-300,000 euros for Aston martin dbs

  • @ACHILLES1GREEK Thanks

  • db9 rims make me sick >:( they look bad imho

  • Why is he driving a LHD when the car is built in the UK ???

    Its a BEAST though !!!

  • Why is it that all Aston Martins never set off perfectly.

  • @Dominoes911 No launch control!

  • The 0:52 shot ... I paused for a while :)

  • Wow, finally a Honda I want. lol

  • @Lukeisonutube THATS A HONDA???

  • In my humble opinion, the Vanquish still the greatest Aston of ALL TIME

  • What is the name of the score being played starting @1:04? It's a great piece and it seems like something I've heard before...just can't remember where? Recent Bond film?

  • Very nice car, truly an amazing piece of engineering worthy of competing against any Italian car.

  • The Aston Martin DBS... i don't want want one... i NEED one

  • The Honda Civic Type R is put to the test on BBC smash hit motoring show, Top Gear. Watch this video in full on the high quality BBC Top Gear YouTube channel.

    LMAO

  • I know the description is off, but the episode on which this review was given was based on the Honda Civic type R. So im guessing Top Gear just copied the description from season 10 Ep.6 and pasted it on this.

    Go figure... Still a very beautiful car.

  • most people get rich and then go buy cars , i want to get rich so i can buy this car

  • @AstonMartinFan100 OLD SCHOOL? That nothing mate... The description called is a "CIVIC"!!!! WTF!!!!

  • how come the dbs only has 4 gears?

    i would of thought it would have 6 ?

  • Give me the Vanquish S, even with the flappy paddles. Both the Vanquish and DB7 Vantage beat the looks of the DBS hands down.

  • Let off the Ferrari's Clarkson...

  • Amazing car . Sure it is one of the best sports car running around .

  • OO7 Bond car very cool good car!!!

  • 1:03 - VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO!!!!

  • don't get me wrong the LFA had the fastest wet lap time on the power lap board but if it got another chance like the DBS is would have had a much better time in my opinion.

  • WHY IS THE DESCRIPTION ALL WRONG????? They call a DBS a "CIVIC"???? WTF!!!!

  • @shinkueagle That's a pretty nice Civic if you ask me.

  • @FlyingBoxHead Either that OR its a pretty RETARDED description!!

  • Thats not fair the LFA should have had another chance

  • @karthik11512 If anything it's a pure waste of carbon fiber and a showcase of a fancy speedometer.Go Lexus eh?

  • The DBS is the best car in the world. There, I said it. Other cars might have it beat in some categories, but taken in totality? I'd have a DBS above all else.

  • Does anyone know the name of the song played during 2:00?

    Its the same music played during the episode with the Diesel Audi A8 challenge.

    Thankyou

  • How can it be epic long distance cruiser when it probably dont do more than 25mpg & has 400 miles fuel tank. weak! but looks beauty and if anyone has a spare one for give. I ma the man! thanks

  • The Vanquish S looks and sounds much better than the DBS !

    And it has a faster top speed with 200 mph...

  • @JackNapier19 lol... good luck trying to change gears , im sorry mate , but the DBS is just better.

  • @CarAddictCrAzY There are no problems with the gearbox on the Vanquish S.

    I do agree that the clutch of the Vanquish 460 hp wasn't so good but I can tell you that with the S clutch, it is fast,

    obviously a bit jerky (but so nice feeling), but totally reliable if you always put into Neutral when the car is stopped.

  • @JackNapier19 ya well does it come in a manual transmission

  • @carsmything302 Yes, you can turn it into manual. Done by the factory

  • fifth can never b like top gear i realized tht in first 15 seconds :)

  • power ranger leg lol

  • Description fail?

  • just because Pepsi advertised on this video, I will exclusively buy Coca-Cola products now.

  • I'll buy the aston for cruising purposes only, not for track lol

  • This is pornography

  • i think those side skirts and the wheels on the dbs make it look much MUCH better looking then the db9 in my opinion

  • OH MY GOD I WET MY SELF

  • left hand drive aston?

  • Sorry but I don't see AM cars being that beautiful. Besides I think Jeremy exaggerates everything just bcoz its British. Nothing special to put it on par with the Ferraris, Lambos or the Mercs. In fact I think a Lotus is much better for the money you pay.

  • @peterogoliver yup and proud

  • it's not a thoroughbred car... it's a GT car...

  • lol description is about the type r

  • i owned this car b4...then i had to wake up and go to school...

  • James Bond drove it...nuff said

  • Some one will pull up next to you and you feel miserable and you have to kill yourself haha brilliant

  • @donsargent i rather buy a corvette Z06 its faster cheaper and better on gas plus it has more torque

  • @octane520 im guessing you're american

  • @octane520

    are you fucking serious?

    did you just compare an Aston with a fucking ugly azz Corvette?

    Corvettes epitomize what's wrong with American cars. Even your super cars are cheap and disgusting looking.

  • @nimrooo why so serious there is notting wrong with the DBS i just though it should have more power for a V12 just relax im not trying to start any problems

  • @octane520

    never compare a Euro sports car with an American. It's just stupid.

    It's like comparing Keira Knightly with a prostitute. Sure, the prostitute can prolly give a better bj but you would never chose one over Keira Knightly lol

    Same here, A Corvette might have more power, but you have to be insane to chose it over a Euro super car because of it.

  • @nimrooo well my favorite euro is the BMW M Cars and im big GT-R R35 fan

  • but it has a V12 with only 510hp thats slow for a V12

  • @octane520

    it's a v12....meaning it works way less than a high rev v8

    on top of that you don't need shat loads of HP if you have a decent power to weight ratio . With gas prices ever increasing making a high BHP engine means you will prob burn more gas making the already impractical car hopelessly impractical like a veyron. It's a Aston martin, it's there to look good, make people jealous and make you feel good. Drive one and you'll understand :)

  • this is why jclarkson is a god, his got good taste in everything....unquestionable

  • I hope we'll finally get to see the One-77 on Top Gear this year.

  • such a shit color for an awesome looking car

  • At last, a fast Civic.

  • freewebstore . org / acereplicas

    Cheapest full replicas on the net, check them out! you choose your design.

  • Lol, the description says its the Honda Civic Type R

  • gun shot at 1:44 - 1:45 ?

  • ok, so this is a BRITISH car, with a BRITISH driver in it, on BRITISH roads, on a BRITISH show.. yet the driver seat is on the left?

  • @hamooode7 i was wondering about that also, can any of you brits explain this please?

  • old fashion? really? with that noise? perhaps it's a work of art... that I agree.

  • read the discription.

  • what a car

  • I think the Vanquish S is sexier.

  • Is it me or does clarkson sound like he has a blocked up nose :) !

  • i love the doors, its not to show offy as a lambo and not to subtle as a normal car...its just perfect...

  • does anyone know the music at 1:04

  • "puffy Diddly" HAHAHAHAHAHA

  • I would kill many people just to own that car. In my books it is top 2 behind the 68 cobra but god above that car is gorgeous. And i agree, it defenatly has a great exhaust note. Much better all around over the db8.

  • the dbs is gorgeous! its more good looking than the db9!!!

  • Very nice. Sadly when purchasing an Aston Martin one will be sending their hard earned to Kuwait. Just terrible, like the rest of the impoverished and bankrupt West we cannot make our own cars: Aston Martin: Arabs, Jaguar, Rover and Land Rover: Indian, Lotus: Malaysia, if I'm not mistaken Bentley and Rolls are owned by the Germans. I believe Morgan is the only British Automaker still in existence. Thank you "globalists for "Free Trade"....

  • @DrAvrington hey get used to it. theres no smoke without fire. somewhere along the way british engineering lost its magic. alls not lost. Noble, McLaren,Coswoth,Redbull Racing to name a few.

  • @imran1985iqbal Yes it is called Socialism and it started the organized ruining of this land under Clement Attlee's administration, FDR in America and Trudeau in Canada. Very sad state of affairs. We're an island of bloody foreigners where all the jobs flee back to the dictatorial slave labor turd holes these unfortunates fled for a "better" tax funded life off the backs of the hard working and discriminated.... SRA.

  • @imran1985iqbal i won't completely agree with you on that, noble's made the m600, mclaren's new mp4-12c and red bull's winning f1 all along.

  • @insioni lol sorry thats what i meant. Theres still alot of british engineering to be proud of.

  • @imran1985iqbal i thought it the other way round :)

  • @DrAvrington Kuwait own 20% of Aston Martin the controlling 80% is owned by a British investment group.
