Reviving a classic Aston Martin name, the DBS was based on the DB9 and replaced the Vanquish S as the brand’s flagship supercar. The DBS Superleggera takes its name from Carrozzeria Touring’s bodywork on the DB4 and DB5.
Based on the DB11, it became Aston Martin’s top Grand Tourer, powered by a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine producing 715bhp and 664 lb-ft of torque between 1,800 and 5,000rpm. The engine is mounted low and far back for better balance, paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission featuring torque vectoring and a mechanical limited-slip differential. The DBS Superleggera offers three driving modes: GT, Sport, and Sport Plus.
The car also features Aston Martin’s innovative “Aeroblade” aerodynamic system and an F1-inspired double diffuser for added downforce. Increased carbon fiber use reduced weight, while a four-pipe titanium exhaust enhances sound. The DBS Superleggera hits 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph.
