Let’s take a first look and walkaround of the brand new Aston Martin DBS Superleggera<\/strong>! The ultimate super-GT<\/strong> is presented at the company’s HQ in Gaydon, finished in Satin Xenon Grey paintwork. Formed on the basis of the DB11<\/strong>, but with 725hp<\/strong> and 900nm from the 5.2l Twin Turbo V12<\/strong>, the DBS Superleggera<\/strong> stands as a ‘brute in a suit’. <\/span><\/p>\n

With a name that strikes a historical connection to the DB4<\/strong>, DB5<\/strong> and DB6<\/strong> designed with Corozzeria Touring from Italy, while simultaneously returning the DBS<\/strong> name to the flagship range, it ups the game substantially. The engine is reworked, as to is the 8 speed ZF gearbox<\/strong> to handle the huge amounts of torque available. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although it is 70kgs<\/strong> lighter than a DB11<\/strong>, it is still 1,693kg. However, the power is fed to the rear wheels and offers 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds<\/strong> and a top speed of 211mph (340km\/h<\/strong>).  <\/span><\/p>\n
