2023 Aston Martin DBS Review // Brutality Overload
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มี.ค. 2023
- The 2023 Aston Martin DBS ($406,086 as spec’d in the US) aims to provide the ultimate Grand Touring experience. Propelled by a twin turbo V12 that makes a ferocious 715 horsepower, and with a claimed top speed of 211 mph (340 kph), the DBS appears to deliver in both speed and power. And with its long sleek hood and intimidating design language, it’s hard to deny the DBS’ curb appeal. But how does it perform as a proper GT car? Ride quality, comfort, and engine personality are all important facets of a GT car that’s able to excite its driver. Thomas and James spend some time with the 2023 Aston Martin DBS to see what it’s capable of, and if it truly does provide the ultimate Grand Touring experience. We hope you enjoy the episode! Subscribe!
And THIS is our very big thank you to the one and only @DougDeMuro

"Never let go, Jack." Bro James doesn't miss with the jokes. He's always so spot-on.
"Never Let go, Jack" is simply a legendary quote, Scotty D.
I think the only car-review show moment that tops this for pure LOL hilarity is Stephen Fry teaching Jezza about Grindr.
he realy doesnt miss...had to pause to let it sink in...damn
Thought he was gonne go with "and Im James...James Bond."
Doug DeCaprio
Had me rolling with the Doug cameo.
This…is not how you do it 😂
THIS! iss tthheeee NEEEW Aston Martin, DBS! and it...
Agreed! Best cameo yet.
One of the intros?
Never let go Jack 😂
If you've ever seen the DBS in person, or honestly any Aston in general. You can't help but stare. They are so absolutely beautiful in person.
You’re absolutely right. First time seeing an Aston literally a week ago and my family and I just stopped and stared 😂
Saw one in Japan. I agree.
Possibly one of the best looking modern cars being made
It certainly is. And the DB11/12 is the second best looking modern car. Aston is killing it. Both cars look like masterpieces
The interior is from 2014
The car is absolutely gorgeous, but how on earth do you not have a front axle lift for a car of that expense that is so low and how do you not have Apple CarPlay. The interior also desperately needs modernization.
But on the outside I don’t think there’s anything more beautiful on the road. The depreciation on the car is gargantuan and you can pick up at 2019 was under 10,000 miles for about $200,000. If I ever got one, I would retrofit a front axle lift and Apple Car play for sure.
What a horrible spec .
The best looking for sure. Golden rule measurements
Love the Doug cameo 😂 would’ve been great if James said, “This DBS is being auctioned live on CAAAAARS and bids”
James is hilarious 😂
@@dns9155 yet so epic all the same.
Love seeing cameo of other great car youtubers
CAAAAARS and bids
I absolutely love how TH, Doug, Savagegeese, EE, and Jason Camissa have been doing cameos with each other this year. Absolute bliss
It really does make me so happy when one of them pops in on another channel
Yeah I agree 👍🏼😅
Love from Berlin 🇩🇪
Ramsi 🙋🏻♂️
You forgot Chris Harris showing up on TH. Gears and Gasoline doing cameos too.
Yes
cant stand doug demuro but love seeing the community spreading the love and seeing him get his dream car
Aston Martin are one of my favorite high end automobiles, they knocked it out the park with this model. Absolutely superb.
The intro of this video was the best I've ever seen. The Doug skit was great. However, the b roll footage w/ the music was everything. As always, nice job w/ this review.
It was a good surprise to see Doug show up. I love when people support and work together. 💪🏿👍🏿
Just imagine if they suddenly ended the video at 11:02.
@@netweed09 😂😂😂😂
I love how this group of car reviewers are doing cameos. It shows how this genre is about different styles, not competition.
except you’ll never see a straight pipes cameo, those guys seem to think it is a competition. They are quite sore because throttle house is duo that is better in almost every way.
Couldn't agree more
@@thatguy6950 the exact reason why i stopped watching them
@@thatguy6950 not almost, IN EVERY WAY
@@thatguy6950 i agree 99% of things you say and other people here say about the straight pipes, but they did a cameo for Savgeee a couple of years back.
The music on this video. Perfect, just that Bond feel then the transition. Finally the crescendo! Well done.
Jesus Christ, the opening drive scene was such a beauty to listen to and look at with the music and the revs that I didn't notice it just going on and on
I was not expecting Doug. That was awesome. We need more collabs with car reviewers in general.
No. We need less Doug literally everywhere on the internet. He's a complete turd.
i was not expecting the tom cruise in tropic thunder "step back and FUCK THEIR OWN FACE" 🤣
THE CROSSOVER WE ALL NEEDED
this is a GT not a crossover /s
@@Spiros219 he saying Doug demuro and throttle house crossover
@@Spiros219 this car kinda reminded me to Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
YES!!!
@@gordonyew2185 whoosh
Honestly, I am absolutely thrilled that you guys drove this car and reviewed it! I am so happy! Ever since Aston Martin released the DBS, it has been on the Grand Tour, and I did not like that episode when the verdict said the car was not good (in a way). But from the bottom of my heart, this car is absolutely special! Very few cars can do what it does! It is like falling in love with driving and cars all over again! It brings the romance into driving! The drama, the romance and the elegance, and like you guys said, the 'cool'! It is absolutely stunning! And what a design!
Thank you TH, you guys made my day! I really wish that in the future I am able to drive this car one day, just for a few hours! This, and the Lexus LC500 (that car has a great interior, and it is somehow sensational)!
Your videos are getting better and better. The production quality is awesome. I hope to see more of this please. 🙏🏻
I saw Mr Throttle House in Toronto with his Toyota Century. Not only did he give me a salute while driving, he sped away so gracefully, it felt like an honour to stare at his tailpipe from behind. You boys do Ontario proud
I always respect it, RobustFilms1.
"Mr Throttle House" Lmao
I saw james at cars and coffee in socal and he watched me do a triple take and then wave lmao
to stare at his "tail pipe" from behind?🤨
@@seniraranasinghe645 , is there some hidden meaning in that? 😂😂😂
Again fellas, breathtaking camera work, sound work, and rolling footage. This channel is the best
Omg! Doug being humble ❤ you all run amazing channels! Freaking brilliant content guys, thank you
that driving scene after the intro was astonishing. so perfect. the music, the engine noise, the cinematography, etc. it was perfect. everything about it
James Bond vibes
Needed more submachineguns.
Thank Carlson.
Throttle House dropping cameos like they’re Marvel. Love Doug’s cameo. Didn’t think it was him behind the camera. Good one.❤
Marvel movies suck though
There was also a mc laren cameo at 21:51 as they mention its name 👀
dude this was perfect, love seeing Doug here as well.
Really enjoy the car guys all getting together. Makes 2023 TH-cam All the better.
That’s the James Bond type opening this car deserves. 🎉
The Aston Martin DBS kinda reminded me a lot to Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.
Except James missed a chance to do his best Bond impression… C’mon, a suit jacket, shades on…he could have done it…
@@erikberg8098 Totally agree. I would have loved to see it! An opportunity missed. 😂
Quantum of solace baby
It’s wild, how much more and more these guys are turning into the REAL TOP GEAR, what it used to be.
naa
This is better than the top gear you speak of. It's geared to a smarter audience.
Thought something similar, the Doug skit at the beginning was genuinely funny and the production value of the scenes emulating Bond's tour in it was stunning.
They’ve nailed the interesting, factual and fannying about ratio.
@@Trendyflute So much this. Top Gear was entertainment which catered to lowest common denominator.
OMG I laughed so hard at the beginning. Wasn't expecting to see Doug. Love this channel and love this DBS!
Awesome guys! Loved the Doug visit.
The B-roll footage in this video is breathtaking. The boys do a superb job of giving you a sense of what this car is really like. Could you ask any more of a review?
The edit, the music, the TH team are at the peak of the game today.
Closest thing to older Top Gear reviews, and it shows how much they perfected the formula.
@@Doofunator Top Gear fell into too much formulaic use of the "tobacco smoke" filter and smoke pots, which can add a romanticized effect if used sparingly. They didn't.
Doug was the first car TH-camr I watched, vids are just detailed enough and delivered in layman’s term without much pomp and ceremony. Only thing missing imo is a track lap or 2. OG Doug is a true don in the game
IMO Doug was a great writer and a really funny guy but that was a long time ago, mostly before he started with his whole YT channel _quirks and features_ schtick...he's been boring and repetitive for years, snooze.
@@Trendyfluteagreed. That’s why I unsubbed. His earlier videos were so fun and entertaining. Now it’s just him going through a spec sheet. For every. Single. Car review. Boooooring
So…what would you say to either Doug in this threesome or another great driver like chris harris or tanner…. and/or other prodriver with a personality or ability to customize?
I agree that missing Apple CarPlay is a bummer, but I had my dealer upgrade my 2020 DB11 AMR with CarPlay and it's great! The upgrade is seamless and looks and feels factory installed.
Got recommended by a friend of mine to your channel, and I felt some old Top Gear-esque review video, but in a good way! Love seeing more of these proper and passionate car reviews, keep doing that! Also love the Doug cameo.
21:49 that’s a top tier timing… shout out to the editor and writer
It's a golden moment for sure. The way he says straight line and it just "hard" brakes that corner. Poetic.
The POV intro with the V12 sound only interrupted by gear changes... perfection.
Im in LOVE with the sound of the paddles shifter !
I’ve been watching u guys for so long, my homies from toronto, and to see you doing videos with Doug now is amazing 🤩🤩🤩
1:53 what nice kick in, the man who chose the music knows exactly what this car feels, nice job.
Agreed! Song is 'I must be dreaming' by Ian Post for anyone wondering. Can conform blasting it on a sunny mountain road makes you feel like a badass.
@@quinthuyers126 thanks for the info. Was just about to ask the name of the song 🤣
The music somehow played a mind trick on me and I almost expecting to see Daniel Craig behind the wheel.
Honestly at this point we can all just like before the video even starts, you guys have created a whole new game with your channel, so much love, thanks for all the great content team ❤
Don't be so g*y about it...
The DBS imo has 568bhp.
@@purwantiallan5089 Does it has different hp on other people opinion?
@@purwantiallan5089 The description of this vid says it has 715 hp
What?
Gtfo
I love really old Aston’s but I havnt really liked anything they have made in a long time but THIS is such a beautiful car.
Are you kidding me right now?? What is with this INSANE production level, cinematography, sound design, mixing, EVERYTHING is Top notch and professional production level on this. You boys and your whole TH squad are absolutely KILLER! Keep up the awesome work!
Seriously!!! This is movie-quality production!! Question: who does your music? Fantastic orchestration (coming from a musician)! Love everything-extremely high-end
Omgggg I was so excited to see Doug!!!!
This is one the examples where even if the car in question doesn’t totally work, the videography and production of this channel NEVER disappoints. As always, keep up the great work you guys! Big fan from top to bottom.
Two favorite car channels collaborating finally. Doug and Throttle House are the best
Doug is the worst and TH is the best. You were halfway there.
@@PotatosPotatoes totally disagree
lol love these guys videos. They are on top of the car review world now.
This episode was so beautifully shot
Seriously getting goosebumps from that opening intro. Somehow you guys are able to make every new video look consistently better than the one before. I don't usually comment on car channels but had to give you props!
Best Collab Ever!!!
It's going to be a sad day when Aston Martin decides to go electric. 😭
Not a fan if Doug at all
@@allensaunders449 for me i am a longtime fan of Doug Demuro.
At least it'll look better than everything else, imo......
OMG YES!! Love the intro! Makes me so happy!!
Doug!:) I love the cameos, guys. Keep them coming.
I seriously love the fact Doug is getting involved with so many other Car TH-camrs!
The introduction with Mr. Doug DeMuro was the most hilarious surprise cameo ever!!
You guys have outdone yourselves!! ¡Bravo!!
And then you present an in-depth and objective review on one of my all time favorite cars... far out!!
Thanks for another informative, entertaining and enjoyable video. May G_d bless you.
God bless you **
god. what's wrong bro?

@@kingcobra_clips 👍
2 best channels out here doing stuff together that’s great
This is what I’ve been waiting for. Thank you doug
The production quality on these videos are always amazing. Also I love the Doug cameo 😁
The production quality is amazing. The videos are amazing. Your sentence is not grammatical. The production quality on these videos IS always amazing.
@@ericrawson2909 take your unwanted English lessons somewhere else
"THHHHHIISSSS......... "
Cameo by Doug, Bond references, great camera and editing. Yep, this is as good as the Grand Tour or Top Gear. I’ve been astonished by the growth and professionalism of this channel.
nice spec and ggreat review keep it up!
Excellent production work as usual.
I watch so many car reviewers, and y'all are my top 3 without a doubt! That's you too Doug.
Throttle House, Doug Demuro, Car Wow with Matt Watson, Top Gear(OG) and even the new crew is very likeable... And the list goes on, yet with so many Car reviewers out there I never miss a Throttle House video or Doug Demuro video. Says a lot.
You mean Old British top gear/Grand tour
Check out Hagerty with Jason Cammisa too!
We are in a golden era
@@NightRaider93 Their production is really good, but I always feel bored watching their videos
r/carreviewercirclejerk
seeing doug and throttle house in the same vid got me too excited, like a child seeing his favorite cartoon characters in a crossover episode
The next instalment in the Throttle House Cinematic Universe.
2 of my favorite car review channels doing a cameo, this was awesome
I love your intros. It's not a Throttle House video without them! Keep up the good work lads.
THIS is another banger from TH! Loved the intro & the review but I love the DBS even more 😍
That silhouette & twin turbo V12 combo excites me greatly!
Glad I’m not the only one who thinks those wheels look horrendous. The other wheel option will certainly be the most preferred for customers.
I would pick these 10x2 spokes any day, over yet another set of "Dull as Dish-water" black out look, no wheel, wheels, thank you very much !!
Those wheels look very cool. I'm surprised someone hates them.
"That silhouette & twin turbo V12 combo excites me greatly!"
Why? Are you gonna buy it?
O
@@arkhsm I agree!
Excellent to see Doug's cameo! I enjoy the way these creators support one another, very much. And for me, the aesthetics of the Aston Martins in general are MUCH handsomer than the competitors, it has a more impressive, masculine presence than any other truly direct competitor.
Love the Doug cameo intro and the video overall. The DBS gives me mad Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series vibes. Insane HP, Insanse TQ, Traction Control holding on to dear life when pushing it hard. Love it!
Good job incorporating the “Bond” right at the very end. Love me some 007, and I’m a sucker for a clean Aston Martin. Nice video guys.
It's amazing to see how far you guys have come! You boys deserve the success
21:48 - "...some of those pesky McLarens..."
*Mclaren drives by* 👀
Incredible B roll. Such detail. Amazing work, guys. Great admirer!
Nice catch but also goes to prove their point on the review of the Astons presence.
The McLaren driving by just was overlooked by most as it passed the Aston.
They always command a presence at shows and as awesome as a McLaren is almost, they all start to feel like a "common" car in the higher end car world.
They are my favorite though...
20:50 I think they're wrong here - the Jaguar F-types interior is much better than the dreary Aston. And it _has_ the Touch screen.
Another great introduction. Heck. That’s half of why I watch. Even if I like a car or not!!! DBS is wild. Nice review. Thanks.
DOUG!! Ok Have to admit you guys surprised me on this one! Good Job
This review is one of your best. Again, the editing is just superb. Professional level quality.
I love how you tried to incorporate the james bond theme into the background, it just goes so well with the brand image.
When Doug came out I lost it! Best collab ever! Thank you. Lol ❤
Thanks for the video guys ! I’ll be selling these come Monday lol
One of my FAVORITE episodes! Love the cameo. Love the cinematography ... well done lads!
Love this V12 brute of British muscle. Nice intro too! Need more of these kind of collabs.
The DBS imo has similar bhp to V12 Vantage and 1999 V8 Vantage combined.
Erm that engine is not British 😂😂😂
@@iHelpSolveIt what are you on about?
@@iHelpSolveIt It is built and designed by Aston. You can trace it's roots to the 1999 V12 DB7 Vantage
No I'm afraid that's a Merc engine mate.
I just discovered this channel and it's impressive the innovation and dedication you guys put in. I'm the very first fan from Chile! It would be grat if you can add subtitles in spanish tho
so bond like. i love it. keep up the good work fellas
This motor makes some very healthy numbers. HP and torque are super impressive when you consider there is no hybrid assistance.
Damn it looks massive from the first shots. And as always - superb cinematography of this beautiful machinery.
Yep. Timeless beautiful cars everywhere.
I’ve seen one in my city and it is huge. Seems way longer than even a Bentley GT
@@judygillespie3717 its just the dash that looks a bit outdated for its price because with $50k more, one will get their hands on a 765LT. I still like this Aston a lot, the price just needs to come down a little.
Amazing video....God I love watching your videos. I'm pretty high right now, but you guys are simply the best. Thanks for making me smile and making me dream so much
The first 5 minutes had me thinking I was watching 007. Good stuff. 🎉
This is one of my favourite videos in terms of quality. Be it the shots or the timing when the music comes in, I just love it.❤️
Love the cameo! Also great work on the score. It definitely had an aire of Bond to it!
That James Bond style sequence in the beginning with the background music was 👌
The commentary was fantastic, the honesty and relatability. I've eyed an Aston for at least a decade, it took that long for it to become possible and I truly appreciate and needed this video. Since I am admittedly the world's worst rear-wheel drive pilot I'm going to have to stick to BMW M Cars with AWD :( I'd be the only person to walk and go, "Can you knock off about 200 HP..."
Doug is a freaking legend, so cool you guys had him in one of your awesome intros.🤣👍
Yeah, did you see that Jay Leno was recently bragging about how he finally got invited to be a guest on Doug's Show?!?!
12:38 Agreed. To my eyes, the old DBS/DB9 are even more beautiful. Just timelessly elegant machines those.
To my surprise, the Aston Martin One-77 2011 is also beautiful car.
Agree 100% don't see Aston ever topping those looks wise
@@purwantiallan5089 my favorite Aston
Absolutely the best Canadian car review channel, very very best!
The tropic thunder refrence was awesome. What a performance, for tom cruise and the car
To me the DBS Superleggera is a modern icon, mostly because it serves as the rival to the 812 Superfast. Both are cars that do not fit into our current world, with their beautiful lines and their loud V12s. Yet they exist and stand proud as the epitome of a long forgotten breed of car, the luxury grand tourer. A kind of car that had it's glory days well in the past. However together with the Bentley Continental GT they show us how truly magical a GT can be, even today.
It's slightly weird though that th British one is the Superleggera and Italian on the Superfast.
These guys just keep getting better and better. How is this even possible. This is Sunday night prime time quality now, insane.
Love what and how you do it guys. Love the car. It`s great but when Doug appeard, damn...just made it better. Take care ! Best of wishes from RO!!!
As always….5 stars! THISSSSSS…..was a great video!😊
Nobody!!!! Literally nobody ever expected a Doug DeMuro featuring like *THISSS* on Throttle House🐐😂
The sound production is insane 🔥
Well done with the stunt casting, TH. Yay, Doug!
Throttle House certainly has its quirks and features.
THISS.. is the best intro yet. The intros just keep getting better and better, keep it up guys.
I like a lot of the cars on this channel, some I'm not crazy about, but I am in love with this car! Never been a huge astin fan, but I am with this v12 badass!
DOUG! Doug is the man frfr
This is too funny! I just recently watched Doug 'Da Man' Demuro's review of the Lotus Emira and opined that his assessment of the gear box was a tad different that what Thomas had stated. Love them all and the collaboration that these car reviewers do is just awesome!!
