Aston Martin DBS V8

The Aston Martin DBS V8 reaches 60 mph in 6.36 s (100 km/h in 6.65 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.79 s, tripping the lights at 99.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.60 s and the eighth mile in 9.74 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the DBS V8

The 1970 Aston Martin DBS V8 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,727 kg with 375 bhp, which works out at 217 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 217 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.60 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,705th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 73rd quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. Its 99.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Aston Martin DBS V8 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin DBS V8 reaches 60 mph in 6.36 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,705th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin DBS V8 quarter mile time?
14.79 s at 99.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.74 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.60 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin DBS V8 have?
375 bhp and 1,727 kg, which is 217 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 255 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin DBS V8?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari 250 GT 3.0 V12 220 (6.50 s), Maserati Indy 4.7 V8 290 (6.37 s), Lamborghini Silhouette P300 3.0 V8 (6.21 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin DBS V8 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Aston Martin DBS V8 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
