I would still rather have the aston but thats not because its a better car but rather because its more exciting to behold. And excitement, when it comes to driving is everything. Objectively speaking though, the R8 is a better car.

Nov 20, 2008 - R8 better than DBS? What are you on?
yoyorsp Says:
Nov 20, 2008 - this guy doesn't know how to drive, his comments are rubish.
cavaleer Says:
Nov 20, 2008 - You're wrong on that one, my friend. The DBS is light years ahead of the R8 in terms of construction, materials and build quality. The R8 is a mass-produced car, like Porsche. In the time it takes to make one 911, Aston hasn't finished PAINTING a DBS. And Audi's engine is very strong but I don't think it any way compares to the DBS' Cosworth. Just listen to sound each one makes. Only a V12 Lambo or Ferrari is in the same league as the Aston V-12. Come on now....;-)

Nov 21, 2008 - your comment is rubish for me, and as i see he can drive, why you say he doesn't know?

Nov 22, 2008 - I know that car is not 160,000 pounds
jumjukjum Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - I know right I don't think that car is that much either or he was probobly talking about something else

Nov 25, 2008 - If someone offered me one of these in exchange for comiting murder, I'd even buy the gun it looks briliant and sounds even better I'm even nursing a semi just looking at it, what a masterpiece, genuinly the most beautiful car ever made

Nov 26, 2008 - it's cause jeremy likes to poke fun at everything. lots of clarkson bias. that's what makes top gear so entertaining. chris is more technical and analytical. two contrasting styles. case in point: watch both of their nissan gt-r reviews.

762SLR762 Says:
Nov 28, 2008 - 270 what?
MLGCODSTER24 Says:
Nov 29, 2008 - sry 270,000 dollars
importedtuner Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - Yeah, only in USA. And in England. In my country, Singapore, it costs 3 times as much. $1 million. And $1 Singapore is $1.5 in USA.
importedtuner Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - And the end result is the DBS being a bit faster. The R8 has great build quality and also uses materials like carbon fibre, magnesium, aluminium. The engine might sound better than the DBS. I prefer the DBS to the R8. But, the DBS does cost twice as much. Oh yeah, and both cars don't really look similar. The Audi is a proper thoroughbred car, while the Aston is a beautiful work of art. Quattro all wheel drive and a magnetic ride. The Aston has rear wheel drive and Bilstein dampers.
cavaleer Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - To me, the DBS is on an entirely different level in every way except flat-out performance and all-weather ability, than the R8. The R8 looks like some sort of Transformer abortion. The DBS is gorgeous inside and out. The engine note is beyond comparison. The Gallardo sounds better than the R8 by a mile. To me, it's easily worth twice the price of a R8. I wouldn't buy an R8 under any condition, whereas the DBS is on my TO DO LIST.
