DBS has long signified the utmost in elegance and speed, comfort and performance. The DBS Superleggera Coupe and Volante are meticulously handcrafted with beauty and performance in equal measure. No fraction is compromised. The DBS Superleggera will leave you in awe. Its beauty is absolute.
Could this be the best DB11 for New Zealand roads?
The shape is unmistakably Aston Martin, but stronger, broader and more muscular than ever, not at a stylist’s whim but to cool and control the most powerful production Aston Martin ever.
The exterior is dominated by a breath-taking hexagonal grille, combining a sense of unbounded strength with the most natural beauty. This sets the visual agenda for the entire car while simultaneously feeding the insatiable appetite for oxygen of the mighty 715bhp engine.
The 715bhp provided by the DBS Superleggera 5.2 V12 twin-turbo engine is a colossal figure by any standard. But that is just where its talent starts. When you drive the DBS Superleggera you get to savour something else even more phenomenal – its torque.
Torque is as difficult to explain as it is easy to experience: it is the power of the punch you feel when a car accelerates, and the DBS has 900Nm of it, more than any Aston Martin road car in our history. Thanks to the outstanding flexibility of our hand-built, twin-turbo 5.2-litre V12 engine, there’s no need to wait: all of it is available from just 1800rpm.
Power without control is power that is squandered, which is why the DBS Superleggera is a master at making the most of the vast resources the V12 places at its disposal. It starts with a chassis of enormous rigidity and continues with a classic double wishbone front suspension, a geometrically optimal multilink rear axle and an even more stable stance thanks to a track that is 10mm wider than the DB11 at the front and 20mm wider at the rear.
We all know luxury when we see it. It entices and excites; it draws us, spellbound, to its core. But true luxury, Aston Martin DBS Superleggera luxury, is simple to define and easy to see: it is freedom. Freedom to create an environment of your choosing, freedom to express yourself, freedom to have it your way. Which is why you can select your own cabin for the DBS Superleggera. Whether you leave the decisions to the exquisite taste of our own interior designers or take that as your starting point and treat the entire interior as your own blank canvas, the DBS Superleggera gives you that freedom that is the source of all true luxury.
Vantage Roadster is the perfect partner to the Coupe, designed side by side they sit together united in their commitment to providing the ultimate driving thrills.
