The car which made James Bond look good

A gentle tap on the pedal and you feel the back swerve just a little bit. The Pirelli tyres fight for grip and off you go. Barely 4 and a half seconds later, you've already past the 100kmph mark. Keep your foot down on the accelerator and you'll reach a top speed of over 300kmph.

If you see one on the streets, you'll gush over it, and would even trade in your wife for one.

The car - the Aston Martin DBS V12.

The Aston Martin DBS V12, a car made of, lets face it, expensive plastic, but nonetheless, plastic. It produces 510 brake horsepower, 570NM and carbon ceramic disc brakes. It does 6km to the litre, and with a tank of 78 litres, you can go up and down the PIE 11 times! Of course, that's not including the traffic conditions, and with a light foot. With a heavy foot and a jam at every exit, I'm guessing you'll probably need to pull out at Stevens Road exit for the petrol station. Even so, you might need to push the last 100 metres.

A coupe version, manual of course, will set you back 875,000 Singapore Dollars!! And that's before COE! For a piece of plastic and a hungry petrol drinking V12 monster, whose growls terrifies the ghosts of Pulau Tekong.

I've only been on it once, and of course, it wasn't mine. But it was love at first sight.

I'd love to tell you about the handling, but I can't. All I can remember was that the gear changes were jerky and a slightly cramped interior. That was probably because I'm kinda fat.

Now, if someone were to loan me one, I'd write about it with greater detail; how the interior tastes like, how cold the air-conditioning is etc.

As life would have it, I can only hide in my room with my hands in my pants staring at the DBS V12 on my computer screen, behind closed doors. 3 tissues of tissues, 1 dollar. Want to buy?
