The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is a grand tourer produced by British luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin since 2018. In June 2018, Aston Martin unveiled the car as the marque's V12 flagship grand tourer based on the DB11 V12 but featuring modifications that set it apart from the DB11 lineage as a replacement to the Vanquish. The Superleggera name, which pays tribute to Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, who helped Aston Martin to create the lightest grand tourers in the 1960s and 1970s. A Volante (convertible) model of the DBS Superleggera was unveiled in April 2019. It has nearly identical performance and the same engine and transmission as the coupé. The front of the DBS features a new front bumper with a large center grille in order for improved engine cooling along with two air extractors on the sides to cool the brakes and two vents on the hood that aid in the engine cooling process.
The vehicle also features the same aerodynamics first seen on the DB11 including Aston Martin’s innovative aeroblade system, but refines aerodynamics with an F1-inspired double-diffuser that helps the car generate 180 kg of downforce. For the new DBS Superleggera, Aston Martin has created their most powerful version of the 5.2-liter turbocharged V12 yet. It develops a mighty 715bhp and 900Nm, sending power through the rear wheels via an eight-speed ZF box that has been specially adapted to handle the extra torque. 0 to 62 mph takes 3.4 seconds and the top speed is 211 mph. This is a seriously fast Aston Martin. New Aston Martin DBS Superleggera prices start from $304,995. Prices for DBS Superleggera Volante are set to start at $559,000.
