DBS steering

[klee168168]

Is the DBS steering like the 2013 v8 vantage, where they tightened like in the Vantage S, or is it more like the pre 201w?

From my experience it helps you go around corners.....

Depends if it is in "Sport" mode

Don't take anyone else's word for what a cars steering is like. Go test drive one and find out for yourself.

I don't really understand the question. Do you mean a quicker steering rack with less movement of the wheel for the same amount of turn?

Later cars have a 15:1 steering rack. Never fitted to DBS.

Other than the v8 and v12 vantage, which other Astons have the 15:1 steering racks?

[roughrider]

I stand to be corrected, but i'm reasonably sure that all current Aston Martin models are now 15:1 steering. I believe the V12 Vantage manual was the first car to have it.

On any car with the 3 stage Adaptive Damping System, in Sport or Track mode, there is reduced power assistance to the steering, up to 100mph.
