Aston Martin DB3S 1953

[NART512]

History:
The DB3S was formulated to replace the failing DB3 by William Watson. 31 cars were made in total with 11 being factory raced and the remaining 20 being customer cars. The car raced at the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans but both didn't finish (1 Crash and 1 Mechanical). However the car did bring in a total of 23 winds across various series.

This car won the Gran Turismo Trophy at Pebble Beach last year, the DB3S will be on GT.........sometime.

Let's look at the Pebble Beach Winners;

2008 - Miura debuted in GT5
2009 - Alfa TZ2 debuted in GT5
2010 - Abarth Tiposto debuted in GT6
2011 - Plymouth XNR debuted in GT6
2012 - Ferrari 500 not in GT yet
2013 - DB3S not in GT yet


That suggests to me that we'll see this car in GT7.

I hope you're right about both of the past two winners.

I honestly prefer this to the DBR1 but that's just me.
