The Aston Martin DBS has been named as Auto Trader’s Rear of the Year.

While TV weathergirl Sian Lloyd was named female Rear of the Year with Any Dream Will Do winner Lee Mead taking the male crown, you have voted for James Bond’s company car as the loveliest automotive derriere.

The uber-cool DBS received 37 per cent of votes in the unique poll, while the Bugatti Veyron finished 2nd with 17 per cent.

The DBS is the fastest Aston ever featuring a 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 510bhp, and sprints from 0–62mph (100kph) in just 4.3 seconds before running on to a top speed of 191mph.

The car was featured in last year’s Casino Royale, with Daniel Craig at the helm as super-spy James Bond.

Aston Martin was also announced as the UK’s coolest brand last week – for the second year running.

At 49, Sian Lloyd is the oldest winner of the annual Rear of the Year competition, which is held to support the charity Beating Bowel Cancer.

Previous winners include Charlotte Church, Denise van Outen and another former weather girl, Ulrika Jonsson.

The full results of the Auto Trader Rear of the Year are:

1. Aston Martin DBS – 37 per cent

2. Bugatti Veyron – 17 per cent

3. Volkswagen Golf W12 650 – 15 per cent

4. Pagani Zonda – 9 per cent
