This is why the designers still do life size clay modelling. You can't get to that "omg, I'm in the presence of god" feeling just using CAD

​@@breadyeggnot sure you could ever evidence that statement. With 3d printing and vr work flows you can have the same experience and this car was certainly modelled in cad as part of the design process. I'm sure it's true you need life size models in the studio while designing it, to get a better feel for the lighting of the curves etc.

[@teamredgutz399]

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.

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!

Twill carbon fibre is still a type of woven carbon fibre. Normal carbon fibre is in a checker board pattern - under, over , under, over like a wicker basket. The twill weave skips every second square so it looks more like lots of little rectangles offset by half kinda like a brick wall (without the grout), rather than lots of little squares, twill quite often being the preferred visual appearance of the woven carbon fibres.

[@EmoBirb]

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.

Just so you guys know, chopped and twill are the correct terms for those types of carbon fiber. Chopped is called that because the carbon is, well, chopped, into small pieces which are then compressed in a mold and infused with resin to create the part. The reason it’s not as strong as other types of carbon is because the fiber orientation is essentially random, so you can’t strategically orient the fibers for the best strength for the application. At the same time, the random fiber orientation does lead to a more uniform strength. The whole forged carbon thing is just what Lamborghini wants to call it. Twill is called twill because what’s what you call woven fibers like that in textiles. There’s also Unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber (which is often used in the chopped carbon that I’ve seen) which is when all strands in a given layer are oriented in a single direction. Visually, I think UD carbon fiber is the most interesting looking. Additionally, as long as you can properly engineer your part for the loads that are expected, UD carbon is also the strongest type of carbon fiber. The last main weave of carbon fiber that you’re likely to see is spread tow carbon fiber, which is kind of like twill in that it also has the woven pattern, but each layer is generally much thinner and the pattern you get from it has much larger squares than twill. Often it will end up looking like the pattern has 1/2” (~12mm) or larger squares of carbon whereas twill is generally around 1/8” (~3mm) squares

I don't know how... but your videos get better everytime. Physics dictate this isn't possible, but they do. Rock on fellas!

You guys have the top 10% production quality of all car youtube channels I watch. kudos gents!

[@JA-no8in]

Love the cameo! Also great work on the score. It definitely had an aire of Bond to it!

[@Itsmarkyoung]

From the second I heard Doug’s voice I was like “THIS is the newwww Aston Martin DBS, and it’s got a lot of interesting quirks and features” in my head 😂😂

[@ioannispasaloukos4885]

Vanquish can't even get close to this in any way shape or form. This is the most beautiful car to date

[@nevethena7450]

THISS.. is the best intro yet. The intros just keep getting better and better, keep it up guys.

[@MrBrukmann]

Chopped and twill are both normal descriptors when purchasing raw composite fabric. Chopped is not common outside of mundane fiberglass or e-glass, but would make sense in general as a fabric of choice if you were cramming chopped strand mat into a mold for interior components. A practical choice, and pretty cool of them to draw attention to; it makes more sense than contiguous woven fabric, but costs less so fools might see it as less desirable. Twill weave carbon and kevlar (aramid) is all I've ever worked with, it is ideal in many ways for layup of arbitrary shapes.

lol love these guys videos. They are on top of the car review world now.

[@illuminatidestroyerbear2231]

Doug is a freaking legend, so cool you guys had him in one of your awesome intros.🤣👍

[@StreetPreacherr]

Yeah, did you see that Jay Leno was recently bragging about how he finally got invited to be a guest on Doug's Show?!?!

[@rossfortini1856]

Sorry, but TH is doing *Doug* the favor of including him on their content. He adds nothing to their high quality, truly frank-but-funny reviews. He's the McD's Quarter Pounder to TH's Five Guys Bacon Burger.

[@samsharma9207]

One of the most beautiful vehicles produced in the last 30 years. Given Aston's meteoric depreciation, best to get one of these gently used and with a rock solid extended warranty.

[@ENGBriseB]

Absolutely Beautiful Car. This gorgeous car will be a future classic no doubt.

[@fitfogey]

This review is one of your best. Again, the editing is just superb. Professional level quality.

[@mrmsc919]

One of my FAVORITE episodes! Love the cameo. Love the cinematography ... well done lads!

[@bduky7156]

You guys are underrated . You guys are better then Topgear 100%

[@Weidjeep]

The way you guys showcase vehicles make them seem even more spectacular and beautiful than they nalready are. Great work gents.

The intro is a crossover I wasn't expecting but absolutely loved seeing.

[@ctiger789]

DOUG!! Ok Have to admit you guys surprised me on this one! Good Job

[@GigglewithFelix321]

That's a beautiful car, Bond would be proud. 👍🏾

**cough** Bond _is_ proud **cough** Bond fine kids, nothing's wrong, I'm not crying you're crying!

[@weed46]

Sorry but this isn’t a bond car. That gigantic grille and brash styling. This is a car for footballers, doesn’t have the understated elegance that Bond Aston’s used to have. This car is always shouting “hey look at me”

Got to agree love this car :-)! Super cool, you drive it for the experience. I mean if I was driving across the US or from Spain to Turkey, nothing I'd rather be in.

[@chrisylink]

Some people say they miss the old top gear. I don't. This is the new top gear. Absolutely brilliant

[@nickolasmazzara127]

I think I prefer the DB11 and the most recent Vantage (especially the Vantage) to the DBS, but this is still a really amazing vehicle.

[@austensmith1767]

The first 5 minutes had me thinking I was watching 007. Good stuff. 🎉

Excellent job showing the McLaren at the end taking a turn while talking about how "those pesky mclarens can zip past this in a straight line". 👏

[@sports2hedz542]

Looking for this comment! @21:50

[@dillongargano9282]

Excellent stuff as always guys. Aston does have this special allure to it. Almost like it lives above just being a car. That said, utter insanity that they’re using tech from a 2014 Mercedes in 2023. No car play is equally absurd. It’s one of the reasons I have a hard time pulling the trigger on a newer vantage. Still, that Aston badge and the rareness attached to them makes it sooooo hard not to love them

[@brandoncaruso9276]

They are upgrading the interior this year so it will be interesting to see how it turns out

Starting1:16 the B-roll was amazing, reminded me James Bond for sure. I love how you guys brought up the Jag F-Type because I definitely concur that it's a budget Aston Martin, but still a great car.

The second it started, the camera angle, the scene setup was classic Doug... The whole time I was waiting for him to imitate the exact THIIISSSS the way Doug would say it... and then! Doug shows up! And I fell off my chair! WHAT!!!??

[@matthewshaw3144]

Beyond beautiful, breathtaking. It is a shame that they still use leftover Mercedes parts at this price point. Aston Will always be part of the steam garage. Love the Doug cameo. Love your work boys.
