Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera – Overview

Adding features like an F1-inspired double diffuser to increase downforce and a new exhaust strategy with active valves and quad tail pipes ensures the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera has a commanding and powerful sound character, particularly in the more aggressive dynamic modes.

The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera completes the brand’s ambition to replace each of the existing two-door sports car models as part of the transformational Second Century Plan to make the vehicle into a super grand tourer that competes with its rivals Ferrari GTC4 Lusso and Porsche 911.

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera - Exterior

21-inch wheels fitted with tyres measuring 265/35ZR21 in front and 305/30ZR21 at the back, which home the dark anodized brake callipers with carbon-ceramic brake discs of 410 mm and 360 mm diameters front and rear, respectively. This Y-spoke design comes in three finishes, with a twin-spoke design in two finishes.

Evolving innovative aerodynamic concepts such as the curlicue and Aeroblade that generates 180kg of downforce at VMAX: the highest figure ever for a series production Aston Martin. The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera equipped with an F1-inspired double-diffuser, LED headlamps with daytime running lights, adjustable headlights, power adjustable exterior rear-view mirror, rain sensing wiper, side mirror turn indicator and integrated antenna.

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera - Interior

Standard leather that is applied to the door panels and centre console armrest. An embossed DBS logo or the Aston Martin wings embroidered into the seats. The colour of the seatbelts, roof liner and carpets can be individually specked. Twill carbon fibre, piano black and dyed Tamo open pore wood are among the available trim inlays
The centre console caters for small-item storage in the cabin, although it isn't especially deep. 

There are two cupholders in the centre console, too, but the door bins aren't large and there is no traditional glovebox ahead of the front-seat passenger. Although it has four seats, the rear seats are only useful for small children or as extra packing space, as there simply isn't enough leg or headroom for adults. Though the vehicle is quite low to the ground, ingress and egress are easy enough for the driver and front-seat passenger. 

Trunk compartment is shallow, so space is restricted to around 255 litre of boot space and the rear seats do provide additional storage when required. Adding to the driver's convenience is a side mirror tilt-down feature when reverse gear is selected, which together with a 360-degree camera system, makes parking a less stressful affair. 

A power-adjustable steering column, push-button ignition, and cruise control, tacho meter, electronic multi trip meter, digital clock, digital odometer, touch sensitive automatic climate control, keyless entry, front/rear parking sensors and parking assistance comes as standard.

It's still a blast to drive, though, with a sonorous V12 scream the obsession with proportioning of the adaptive damping suspension does more than enough to justify the breath-taking aggressive styled machine.
