There are only a handful of words that can be used to best describe the Aston Martin DBS.

Before I head off to the movie or start my review of the car, I had the opportunity to see how the car stacks up next to the Aston Martin DBS. More photos of the pair after the jump... More...

The Aston Martin One-77 is rarer than an insightful comment from Lindsay Lohan.

The Aston Martin One-77 is a limited edition car from Aston Martin that only a select few will get to enjoy. And enjoy they shall, thanks to its 7.3L V12 which makes over 700 hp. The production run is limited to just 77 cars. Each One-77 will cost its buyer $1.9 million. 1,900,000 dollars... not even James Bond gets to drive this Aston Martin. For a few more photos, a cool video and a surprise–keep reading…
