It’s been a while since we’ve heard from our favorite car enthusiast Jay Leno. Today, Leno brings us a video of his test drive of the Aston Martin DBS – Quantum of Solace edition. Julian Jenkins, VP and General Manager of Aston Martin North America also steps in to give his input on one of the hottest Astons ever built (besides the One-77 of course).

Refresher: 6.0L V12 front-mid mounted engine producing 510-hp with a maximum torque of 420 lb-ft. Mated to a rear-mid mounted, 6-speed manual gearbox that allows for a 0 to 62 mph run in just 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 191 mph. Aston Martin will show an automatic DBS at the 2008 LA Auto Show.

Follow the jump for the video.
