In true Bond style, specific details of the new DBS remain top secret, although Aston Martin Design Director, Marek Reichman, said: “This car encapsulates a link between our elegant DB9 road car and the powerful DBR9 race car. It signals an evolutionary development of Aston Martin’s world renowned style and elegance.

“While hinting at our future design direction, the DBS also has very clear links with our heritage – it is instantly recognisable as an Aston Martin.”

Aston Martin Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez added: “The DBS continues our proud and lengthy association with James Bond.

“The DBS is not of the understated elegance of a DB9, nor the youthful agility of the V8 Vantage. It is explosive power in a black tie and has its own unique character which will equal that of James Bond.”

I wonder how this interacts with the classic DB5 seen in the commercials. Maybe they'll pick up the Brosnan treatment, and have it as Bond's personal car.

Do we assume the new DBS is gadget-free?

I'm guessing that with no Q, and all the talk of "back to basics," we'll have ultra-modern (GPS and the like) but no lasers or ejector seat.
