Aston Martin a lancé la DBSV8 à la fin de 1969, après une longue élaboration. L'attente a été bénéfique, puisque le moteur est encore en production 30 ans plus tard. La vitesse de pointe était époustouflante au début des années 1970. Fabriquée seulement en version limousine, la DBSV8 peut être identifiée par ses jantes en aluminium etr ses doubles phares. La plupart des voitures eurent une boîte automatique.

The Aston Martin DBS was a GT car produced by the English manufacturer Aston Martin from 1967 to 1972. The DBS was the successor to the famed Aston Martin DB6 line. Powered by a straight-6 engine, it lasted from 1967 through 1972 before being replaced by the Aston Martin Vantage. It was a larger coupe than the DB6, with four full seats, but was powered by the same 4.0 L engine as the previous car. The engine normally produced 282 hp (210 kW), but a no-cost DBS Vantage option upped output to 325 hp (242 kW). The DBS had a much more modern look than either the DB6 or Vantage with a square non-Aston grille. The DBS was used by James Bond in the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Unlike Bond's previous car, the Aston Martin DB5, there were no gadgets or anything of the kind installed in this car. In the final scenes of the film, Bond's wife, Tracy, is killed in the car during a drive-by shooting. On January 17, 2006, it was announced that a new model of the DBS would be used in the 21st Bond film Casino Royale.
