IN SHORT: THE ULTIMATE ASTON MARTIN GRAND TOURER
The Aston Martin DBS, introduced in 2007, represented the ultimate expression of Aston Martin's V12 grand touring philosophy. As the successor to the Vanquish and the flagship of the range, the DBS combined breathtaking design with a ferocious, naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 510 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 569 Nm of torque. Performance figures are equally impressive: 0-62 mph in 4.3 seconds and a top speed approaching 191 mph. The DBS features lightweight carbon-composite body panels, a distinctive aggressive front splitter, a rear diffuser, and was the first Aston Martin to be fitted with carbon ceramic brakes. This Hong Kong-delivered example, finished in the iconic Quantum Silver shade and acquired by the current owner in February 2025, elevates the proposition with a documented, unbroken history of expert care from the official dealer from the very beginning of its life. With just 11,750 KM recorded from new, this DBS presents in virtually as-new mechanical and cosmetic condition.
THE BOND CONNECTION: QUANTUM SILVER
Quantum Silver was specially introduced by Aston Martin as the signature dark metallic grey/silver shade for Daniel Craig's 007 vehicle in Quantum of Solace. The film's opening sequence—a breathtaking 15-minute car chase through the winding lakeside roads of Lake Garda to Siena, Italy—featured the DBS in this very colour, cementing its place in automotive and cinematic history. The DBS was one of just seven examples used in the production of the 2008 feature film, with Christie's later auctioning one of the actual film cars for £241,250. This 2011 example, finished in the same iconic Quantum Silver, carries that same spirit of cinematic elegance and performance.
PROVENANCE: AN UNBROKEN, DEALER-MAINTAINED HISTORY FROM NEW
This Aston Martin DBS was delivered new to Hong Kong on 8 April 2011 as a brand new vehicle. The original service book confirms the car's meticulous care from day one, with the Pre-Delivery Inspection completed on 6 April 2011 by the official dealer, MF Jebsen Automotive. The car has been maintained exclusively by the official Aston Martin dealer in Hong Kong throughout its life, ensuring it has received the highest standard of factory-trained care and genuine parts.
The car's comprehensive service history confirms it has been exercised and maintained as a cherished grand tourer, with regular 16,000 km or annual servicing observed throughout its life. This is a testament to its carefully preserved status and the dedication of its previous owners to maintaining it as a collector-grade example.
EXTERIOR & INTERIOR: TIMELESS ELEGANCE, SUPERBLY PRESERVED
Presented in the iconic Quantum Silver — the shade made famous by James Bond in Quantum of Solace — this DBS exudes understated British elegance and cinematic presence. The dramatic Aston Martin design language features the iconic grille, muscular haunches, and carbon fibre accents that defined the brand's flagship. The exceptionally low mileage is evident in the car's pristine presentation, with paintwork that retains a deep, lustrous finish befitting a car that has been cherished and garage-kept throughout its life. The car has benefited from recent attention to ensure it presents flawlessly. A full set of new Pirelli P Zero tyres was fitted in early 2026—front and rear—ensuring optimal roadholding and ride quality. The TPMS system has been fully renewed with new sensors and a new ECU, addressing all tyre pressure monitoring functions.
The Black leather cabin, handcrafted in the finest materials, presents in "almost" as-new condition befitting a car with just 11,750 KM on the odometer. All systems, including the infotainment and climate control, are fully functional.
MECHANICAL & MAINTENANCE: A DOCUMENTED, NO-EXPENSE-SPARED INVESTMENT
At its heart lies the magnificent 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12—a 510 bhp masterpiece featuring all-alloy construction, quad overhead camshafts, and 48 valves, producing a spine-tingling symphony that only Aston Martin can deliver. Power is delivered through the Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission, sending drive to the rear wheels via an alloy torque tube with a carbon fibre propeller shaft. The suspension features independent double wishbones with adaptive dampers, while the carbon ceramic brakes—398mm front discs with six-piston calipers and 360mm rear discs with four-piston calipers—provide immense stopping power.
The true distinction of this specific DBS is found in its extensive file of invoices and its original service book, which together detail a continuous campaign of expert care spanning from 2011 to the present day. The car has been maintained with an unwavering commitment to preservation and performance by Hong Kong's official Aston Martin dealer, MF Jebsen Automotive. This represents not merely reactive servicing, but a proactive, systematic program of mechanical renewal and preventative maintenance, with a documented investment.
Major mechanical service items are up-to-date, with all fluids—engine oil, brake fluid, rear axle fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant—replaced in the most recent major service. With just 11,750 KM on the odometer, this DBS offers its next owner the rare experience of acquiring a virtually untouched example of one of Aston Martin's finest grand tourers.
