2009 Aston Martin DBS: Best Hampton’s Super-car

LOCATION SPOTTED: Castillo Di Borghesi (Cutchogue)
LOCATION SPOTTED: Castillo Di Borghesi Vineyard (Cutchogue)

Performance:

  • Acceleration 0 to 60: 4.2 sec
  • Braking 60 to 0: 100 feet (with carbon ceramic brakes installed)
  • Quarter Mile: 12.7 sec
  • Slalom: 69.7 mph
  • Skidpad: 0.93 g

When you consider the fact that this car sells for around $275,000 new, it may be difficult to justify it’s purchase to a performance minded enthusiast. A 2011 Ford Mustang GT500 is faster than this thing in most areas for god’s sake.

Therefore, it takes a different kind of customer to buy this Beautiful British piece of design. Someone who doesn’t care about occupying the top performance bracket of the modern super-car segment, someone who can appreciate a car for more than just going fast. This person is your typical wealthy Wall Street investment banker who, when he steps inside of the sleek leather cabin of his Aston Martin DBS, feels like a ten year old kid in a candy store. Lucky bastard.
