This week, part two of the ultimate Aston Martin DBS Superleggera review.
Having collected the car from the factory in Gaydon, TheCarGuys now get to grips with it over 840 glorious British miles.
This has been a contender for the TheCarGuys garage since the DBS’s launch in June 2018, and with reviews of the 812 and Continental now complete, Damian and Jason are at last able to rate this new Aston against the best from Maranello and Crewe.
What’s it like compared to the Ferrari 812 Superfast and the Bentley Continental GT? Can you really over look that dated interior? Is it really as fast as a Superfast? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s episode.
Created by two ordinary guys with an obsession for cars, TheCarGuys.tv is a digital channel that celebrates everything automotive - supercars, classics, quirky, hidden gems and those in the TCG garage.

Imagine the DBS with a bentley interior
Aston with the Bentley interior and the Ferrari engine etc. The perfect car.
Now you're talking. Well said.
@@markgeller5900 or.. Bentley's interior 😏
Yes! Aston looks Bentley interior and of course engine of the Ferrari
And the doors of an rolls Royce 👍
😂😂😂👏👏👏. Absolutely true.
there's no comparison...812 its in a league of its own
Yes but wouldn't be complaining if I had either of them.
@@Saif0412 where i live these cars are around everywhere...what you know?
Saif0412 Agreed, any would work.
Disagree
The aston takes it
Great review gents, your best analysis to date! Keep up the great content!
Love watching you two enjoying your cars, your reviews are great and fab fun to watch.😁
Really enjoyed this video. Great and simple format giving a proper road test / review which is increasingly rare. Excellent work
Great video guys, starts my Saturday morning off very well
enclosed speedo so the wife cant moan at you for going 32 in a 30 zone
I would take the Ferrari
Naturally asprirated v12..
Oh yes the Ferrari is a high spirited thrill ride of incomparable excitement and friendly versatility, I think.
Super-fast is nice I did try them.Get the old F12 TDF would be the best option if you want a v12 front wheel drive car.
@@campkira front wheel drive?
You mean front engine rear wheel drive buddy
stardust4711 just coz u would want to say to people that u have a Ferrari even though the dbs is so much better
Another great video, thoroughly enjoyed. Well done!
Another great review Guys, yes totally enjoyed it - Thank you
Great honest review gents, your best so far. Perhaps not a 2 parter, but always enjoyable to watch. Hope you channel keeps growing....now what's next to join your garage?!
Another great video gents. Loving the output.
Another honest video. ..
Great job
Keep it up
Congrats
Very nice vid, lads. One of your best.
Glad you enjoyed it
Personally, I just couldn't live with the interior of the DBS.
Its weird how older Vanquish/DB9 interiors look better (without Mercedes crap)... which means why not save $200,000+
Ugly old fashioned "Chesterfield sofa" design
I've never seen a decent AM interior. They've sorted the performance but the dash is from the 90's !
Neither could I, unless the rest of the car came with it 😉 Great video review.
And I bet you’ve never been in an Aston Martin before
Once again Phenomenal video and review 👌🏻 ..btw I hope the 003 will come.. or ok even the Vanquish will be fine enough 😄
Without any doubt the most comprehensive, practical (for a serious amount of moolah) and thorough car guide/assessment/drive video I have watched. No flowery nonsense or hyperbole, just an all-round engaging and sensible look at a gorgeous car. The class-comparisons, as with the honest appraisal - pro's & con's of the DBS - make this a seriously professional presentation.
Congrats on a job well done and which you obviously love doing with forensic, fun detail.
Compared to the usual, or should I say, plethora of petrol-heads out there; this is a very refreshing change...albeit I may have only discovered what you fellas have been doing for a while. Compared to the clarkson/hamster/jimbob and that grating irritant 'schmee', whom I would cheerfully swipe across the chops with a wet haddock...you guys are in a different league.
On this comparison I'd go for the DBS...different colour and interior...that engine/exhaust sweetness would have me searching for tunnels and dropping gears!! Windows down!!!
Nice one!
Thank you very much - most kind 👍
There is nothing left to say: the 24 minutes of this video felt like 4 or 5 minutes. The video was 'on point' like always. A lot of interesting positive and negative informations about a supercar with a prizetag of 300.000 + pounds. I think the DBS looks and sounds awesome ...... but I would take a bit more 'In my Face' .... And that would be the 812.
Thanks, Peter - great comments
@@TheCarGuysTV Keep up your perfect work! I like to watch every single upload you made. Can't wait to see the next one.
"This car needs soft close doors!" *SLAMS SOFT CLOSE BONNET*
It has a soft close bonnet? Is that a first?
@@TheCarGuysTV I believe the feature premiered on the DB11.
@@TheCarGuysTV it came 1st in the DB11. I'm ordering a AMR from Cali on Fri. It's definitely on the DBS. Surprised the doors are not soft closing. Wonder if there's a option?!?
Very useful video. Thank you
Great video, loved the comparison, all very car guys. Looking at the wheels, reminds me of the Nissan Qashqai Techna wheels, it just taints the gorgeous looks of the DBS.
I was looking forward to the second part of the review of the AM DBS. Wasn't disappointed, and have to say that I am impressed by your honest and objective comments on the cars. Too many times you see car-journalists licking the a...es of the manufacturers to get another drive in a supercar. You guys are totally (financially) independent and can say what you honestly think, without having to worry about the concequences of your comments. Well done!
Fabulous review guys!
A real honest review of the beautiful 'controversial' DBS
Keep up the great work!
Cheers
Good Job! Nice Video
Great video as always
Another great review guys.
I had a deposit on the 812 when they first released but I was about 3 - 3.5 years down the waiting list so withdrew my deposit.
I agree the 812 is the better driving car after taking it around the Fiorano track in 2017 but the Aston is a cracking looking car.
Look forward to your next review.
really good channel this, will spend some time looking at your other videos, good work guys, new subby here
Great to have you, Al
Aston have lost there way. Vanquish S the last of the prestige. Would put my money on a GTC4 Lusso if which GT to buy. Love your work guys.
Nah Ferrari have lost everything that made Ferrari what they were . The gtc/4 lusso is the ugliest most out of proportion car every made at maranello . ,the 812 looks like an overpriced v12 Corvette
Paul Thomson Have you not seen a Mondial before?
@@MrBrownos yes I have
Paul Thomson I hate how people call it a CORVETTE when it don’t even look close to one.... and not only that but it’s actually the other way around corvette is copying Ferrari’s design 😂💀
Love part 2, by far the best car enthusiasts and car reviewers on youtube. If I had the cash to spare, instead of the Aston or ferrari, I'd go for a top of the line porsche panamera. Performance, looks, 4 wheel drive, and the interiors are next level and every component just screams quality.
Great review guys! Spot on. I share your opinion. Great seeing your view points and he logic too. Great channel guys 👍 keep them coming. Ps I love the garage.
I would go with the DBS any day of the week.
Can’t beat the 5pm notifications after a hard week at work
Love your videos!! just great!! I would pick the 812, but the Aston its so beautiful!!... Two great cars, cant go wrong with any of this 2
DBS is clearly a wonderful thing but there seems to be too many old parts being used and could soon fall behind the opposition, great video guys, one of your best👍
Great review 👍. I totally agree with your thoughts on the C class infotainment system😂
Pleased to hear the Ferrari win....but let's talk about the video...brilliant. no fancy music distracting the viewer. Covered all the badics we wsnt to know about.Down to earth dialogue and script. Great interaction between you two. Just a great video to watch.
Thank you for your kind words, Giuseppe. There’s no script at all btw 👍
DBS interior and dash doesn’t seem have the synergy with the exterior. The exterior is sleek, stylish and the interior is incongruous with that. The DSB leather isn’t in keeping its Aston DNA, looks like a West Coast Customs leather upgrade job, too fussy. Otherwise I like the DBS over the others two cars. Great review.
Very thorough review, I'll get that Aston.
Love the exterior of the DBS but the 812 is just another level. Long live the NA V12
The ZF 8-speed used in the Aston is actually a torque-converter auto, not a dual-clutch. Great vid tho!
correct no dual clutches in any ZF 8-speed boxes..., probably the most popular transmission in the industry... everybody uses them with their own mapping....
@@Tracertme probably because its super fast at shifting and smooth.
The Bentley looks so regal, and dignified. The Ferrari has lots of aerodynamic aids in the bodywork. It seem like a car for showing off. As far as the Aston is concerned I'd want the DBS Volante (convertible). Thanks.
Good review BTW
A very well balanced and fair appraisal chaps , I agree on all counts, it looks fantastic sounds fantastic and that " ladyparts "....... lol , centre console is the main bugbear with it along with that 10 year old Garmin screen thing stuck on top as an after thought and the air vents from a morris marina by the looks of it just gopping !! , not a fan of the tortoise shell stitch quilting on the seats either . The depreciation would keep me up at night worrying, Astons are notoriously hard to sell on used unless it's a limited special of some kind . I would rather put my money in a bog standard F12 than that, having the satisfaction that my money would be in a more stable package . My favourite modern Aston is still the 177, Marek Reichman knocked it out of the park with that one !!! 👍👍
Congratulations for your videos , they are quite quite good and clever ! You explain relevant facts about motorcars ! Which is good.Would you be interested to road test an 1971 manual AM DBS V8 , 6.1 EFI, fully restored ?All the best.Guy
Great video
Excellent review Guys and what a Car!!! The only think that the ZF transmission is an 8 speed Automatic and not a double clutch, as mentioned.
Awesome stuff, great comparison and tests, 812 for me, but Aston are coming back hard and some of their upcoming models are amazing
I agree, those diamond cut wheels spec’d on the DBS in your vid are great.
812 for me but Aston is so good looking. Great video guys.
Thanks, Nathan - you’re up late
The DBS hands down
DBS Superleggera is my baby
Very well done video. I have an F12 and have been considering the DBS. You hit on all the points that bothered me about the DBS versus the Ferrari. I guess I'm holding on to the Italian Stallion!
Great video. Spot on.
👍👍
Great review guys, like top gear used to be 👍
One of your best videos, loved the humor you had going this video lol. Hard to choose between these cars. I would just get all three. if I were a poor peasant and could get only one , I suppose I COULD live with just the 812. ;)
Let's be honest the match was 812 v. DBS.
The DBS is the most beautiful to me but those interiors and the Mercedes infotainment are a big no.
The 812 has that magnificent n/a V12 which screams like a mad and the carbon fiber racing seats are just a masterpiece. Also I'd get the 812 just to be sure to get an allocation for the TDF version of the 812 (or whatever it'll be called) which it should be the last n/a v12 by Ferrari (but i really hope it won't 🤞🏻)
Depends on what you want, if you just want a nice GT with power but actually aren't planning to drive it super sporty, the Bentley is a good option. By far the most luxurious interior, most comfortable drive, best features/infotainment. For a sports car enthusiast it obviously isn't the first choice.
That's how you "deliver" a proper review. Once more, sincere congratulations for your splendid work. Stunishing AM SuperLeggera. Kind Regards and continuous success wishes, from this humble but sincere follower of your's. Cheeers from Portugal.
GREAT VIDEO👍👍👍🍀
DBS is by far the best.
NA v12 in the 812 is great. However, despite the biturbo, DBS sounds incredible.
Lol not even close from the Ferrari
The Aston has a torque converter automatic gearbox (ZF 8HP95) and no double clutch :-D Another reason for the 812
I know one billionaire and the tablet is a deal breaker for him. He is ordering a custom makeover for a price of a nice Honda Civic - the screen will then be able to hide and show the smooth line same as the previous generation. Only after he will confirm the makeover, he is going to order one. He sold me a Virage (a good deal for me I think) and now he is Astonless :D Still got 15 other cars but missing his British GT.
Always thought the same about the sliding storage bin,,,,,,leave it to a manual system,
I guess the idea is that when you take away the key nobody can get in to that part of the car. Effectively it's your locking glove box.
great videos as ever guys and spot on as usual , as you said the money you would lose on the Bentley and Aston would decide it for me ,the 50k more in price for Ferrari you would still be better off
It's a handsome old brute but personally I can't help but feel the last generation Aston's were so good looking, this new gen somehow don't quite pull off that "Aston" vibe. A little too aggressive maybe, not quite sure what it is. The old Vantage and DBS just nailed it, although I always thought there was something not quite right about the Vanquish from certain angles. Interior looks dodgy as hell in this new DBS. Those slanted air vents along with the stitching and odd looking wheel just do not work in the slightest. Non related, but did something go wrong with the video editing? You both sound a little more Barry White than you usually do, as if it's been slowed down a tad. Might just be me....
The old Aston Martin design line was awesome, ahead of its time I'd say, but it needed a revamp. Obviously taste can't be discussed, but most people (including me) seem to agree that they absolutely nailed it with the DBS. If just the interior was better.
Agreed the last gen dbs was the last truly beautiful car , I would still take the new dbs over any current ferrari though . Absolutely despise ferraris new cars , parting ways with pininfarina was biggest mistake ferrari ever made .
Oooo one more thing, you are getting the Valkyrie??! 😱 Nice 👌
I totally agree on loosing the backseats ...on any car like the DBS and 911´s. Makes NO sense to keep those back seats.
What are they thinking???
Nice one.
I want that car!
There are negatives to all 3 in my eyes, all big enough to stop me buying any of them (hypothetically speaking of course). If only you could have the Bentley interior, the AM exterior and the Ferrari drivetrain in one car!
As far as the looks are concerned the Aston any day....
I really dislike how much winged out modern Ferraris are
Great review. Thanks chaps. Well done keeping it in a straight line. Clarkson couldn't on the GT recently. Love the new DBS
Great item lads
This reminds me of the comparison back in the 90’s between Aston Martin and the new Ferrari 456GT 🧐😉
So
The Aston in the living room
The 812 in the garage
And the Bentley in the dealers showroom.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not of them take outside.... What the point... Don't tell me porches..
Would a better comparision be the GTC4 Lusso?
Great vid mind
That Aston looks the best, but I'd probably go for the 812 as I've been a Ferrari enthusiast for as long as I can remember, not that I would ever be able to afford any of them, lol!
Great review gentlemen, stunning looking car but I couldn’t live with the interior and at the risk of getting a wrist slap, the Allegro steering wheel - yuk !!
The looks of the Aston take the car to another level. Sophie Loren vs Diane Doors. The Bentley is a bit like Bet Lynch and should not even be compared as really not a direct comparison. Please don’t talk about boot space and square steering wheel as who cares a hoot.
Nice one guys. Pretty much agree with all of that 😎👍. Unfortunately I’m not in a position to be making the choice for real. Have to make do with my Aston lookalike for a fraction of the price - XKR.
Aston is derived from Jaguar and Ford. And charged three times more. A Mondeo is a mini Aston, great value.
I think the Aston is a beautiful car, really cohesive / fluid exterior design. Interior just looks too fussy to me. Great review guys.
Nice film. Are you going to do the 992 at some point?
Yep - coming v soon
I love the colour of this car, and I love the curves it reminds me of the beautiful beetles we get visiting our garden in the summer. We wouldn’t want the ‘Q’ sign on this car in the US, very bad connotations! It suits you Damain.😉
Great review - maybe an Aventador S next to add a new option?
Lovely exterior, but I'm not enjoying that geometric stitching on the interior at all. I'm still trying to decide if cross-shopping the Ferrari to the Bentley makes sense-- seems like the Bentley is in its own class. I also have a hard time getting over the AM's infotainment and that plastic slider thing. All of that said, my rankings: 1) Ferrari 2) Bentley 3) Aston Martin. If I already had a Ferrari or two, I'd definitely get the Bentley (after someone else depreciated it for a couple of years).
Loving your work guys. The Aston and the Ferrari are on my to do list and this review is almost as good as being there.
The interior stitching on the DBS would have to go. They should've stuck with the diamond quilting. I love the exterior colour too. The add-on rear spoiler is a bit naff for me.
Stop/Start should be a criminal offence however.
Value hold.....lets face it Astons have never been good although we are starting to see the original (Ian Callum) Vanquish S climb out of the hole on its way to big$$ again. I'd choose the 812 I think - potentially the last of the natto-aspirated v12's. That will matter over time.
You absolute bounder. Terry Thomas should be driving this car 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I'd take the Bentley all black.
A fair review and would be what I would go for. The Aston does look the best of the three, but long term the Ferrari would be the one to have.
Being they are all GT cars, which is the one you’d have for a drive down to Monaco ?
Great review gentlemen, very objective, I loved it! The DBS is a beautiful looking thing! I would say the most beautiful car ever!
Personally, id take all 3 just to make sure
That infortainment system is absolute pants! £200k and no touch screen shocking to be honest.
You guys have done a great honest review on this car and I thoroughly enjoyed both parts. Always good banter and funny movements along the way.
Nice wristshot too although not long enough and too much light reflection for me to say 100% it was s Rolex Hulk Subby
Show me some 70s retro vintage watches 😂
Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next video .
I’ll take the 812 as well. I wasn’t too impressed with my old DB11, which messed it up for me. The Superlegera is basically an updated DB11 with more HP and a retuned tranny. I’ll take my F12 over a Superlegera any day.
It was alright for the Austin Allegro.....................Brilliant line!!
I thank you
Proper GT with that Aston Martin. The most handsome car on the road. But yes, soft close doors and a new door handle would make it even better.
I think the stone white with black trimming is the best colour with that interior 👌 I want one
Crikey! You missed out the torsional strength comparison of the rear axle bushes at 6800rpm....tsk! Otherwise a fairly comprehensive comparison and i'll have a the 812 please. Great work, chaps. Can we have a update on the DC2 please?
This would be a nightmare for me. I love, LOVE the 812, but I also love the Superleggera. You also already bought the 812, haven't you? Seems like the decision is between the Aston Martin or the Continental... Aston Martin wins. I think the Bentley is not in the same category (even though it is), besides, wouldn't you need to be 20 years older to own one?
