THE SECRET AGENT: James Bond’s company car only survived seven minutes before being totaled in Quantum of Solace (perhaps the saddest moment in movie history since Old Yeller bit it), but there’s a good chance the DBS will endure in car-dude dreams for decades to come. With good reason. Take one look and it’s impossible not to be transfixed by the sleek aluminum and carbon-fiber cladding and the crisp, wingless form that just hints at the power lurking beneath the pricey paint job. And if you ever get tired of listening to the howl of the hand-built V-12 engine, you can crank the astounding 1,000-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system. Ridiculous.

HELIO SAYS: "You just gotta be in this car. Detail-wise, Astons are unmatched in fit, finish, and understatement. Compared with these other cars, the DBS feels a bit heavy 
on the track, but in a straight line you could be listening to opera, going 150 mph, and not notice a thing. It’s amazing. It’s a stealth car in every way."
