The Aston Martin DBS "Octavia" is a 1971 model that has been re-built as a restomod that blends British style and American muscle. It took more than 12,000 hours of work to complete this project, which features a body made of carbon-fiber and is designed to be new but respectful of the original form.
Under the hood, a 5.0L V8 engine from Ford Performance is installed with a Harrop supercharger. It is capable of producing up to 805 horsepower, which passes through a 6-speed manual gearbox. A modern chassis, structural cage, and suspension from Fox coilovers provide solid handling for the powerful engine. It also includes Brembo brakes and custom HRE wheels for solid performance.
When it comes to design, the classic DBS form is retained but with sharper lines and a wider appearance. Inside, you'll find a carbon-fiber dashboard, 3D-printed stainless details, leather interior, and brass handles. There's an additional camera suite and auto-dimming visors that fit the theme of the question: “What does an MI6 agent drive on vacation?”
This project showcases a unique blend of sophisticated British design and intense American power. With a price tag estimated at ₱45 million and up, it's clear that the Octavia is not just a restomod but a masterpiece made for the world's biggest car shows.
