Aston Martin DBS transformed into an 805-horsepower automobile

  • The Octavia model received 805 horsepower from the Ford V8 engine.
  • The automobile features a new chassis and carbon bodywork.
  • The interior trim includes elements inspired by James Bond.

This is reported by Autocar, Top Gear, Jalopnik.

The Ringbrothers company has unveiled a new version of the classic Aston Martin DBS, which has been named Octavia. This automobile is equipped with a 5-liter Ford V8 engine, complemented by a supercharger, providing a powerful output of 805 horsepower.

To enhance productivity, the original transmission unit was replaced with a six-speed manual gearbox. The time spent on the modification exceeds 12 thousand hours.

Currently, the automobile has been modernized, with an extended base by 3 inches and increased front and rear widths by 8 and 10 inches, respectively. The automobile has received new carbon bodywork, as well as upgraded suspension and Brembo brakes.

The interior of the Octavia is trimmed with carbon and leather, featuring original details, such as a gear lever for oil mixing in the form of a martini glass, which is a nod to the Aston Martin connection with James Bond films. The model will be first presented at the Monterey Car Week in the USA.
