The car was a strict two seater with space behind the seats to hold a race helmet, a fire extinguisher and a gun holder, both features never intended for production cars. The interior was covered in Alcantara and the DBS had a conventional manual gear change with the shift pattern illuminated the six speed Graziano gearbox was from the V8 Vantage. It was obvious that the DBS was closely based on the DB9 chassis but had a new front (with carbonfibre splitter) and rear boot lid spoiler and diffuser, deeper sills and more vents on the bonnet. The prototype workshop had pulled out all of the stops and delivered two working ‘hero’ cars to the film producers late in April 2006 that could be used in close-ups and for regular driving sequences. Then by surprise, AM released a few select pictures of the Bond car in early May 2006 but with virtually no technical details at all.
