DBS Superleggera

The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera features twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12 producing 715 horsepower with 663 lb-ft torque available from 1,800-5,000 rpm through ZF 8HP95 eight-speed automatic transmission with 2.93:1 shortened final-drive ratio and mechanical limited-slip differential with torque vectoring in rear-wheel-drive configuration, achieving 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds and 211 mph top speed at 1,693 kg dry weight. Extensive carbon fiber construction including major body panels generates 397 pounds downforce representing highest figure for series-production Aston Martin.

DBS Superleggera replaces Vanquish S as flagship grand touring coupe during 2018-2024 production period, combining supercar performance with luxury GT comfort and handcrafted British interior appointments. The twin-turbocharged V12 maintains traditional Aston Martin twelve-cylinder configuration while adopting forced induction for contemporary performance and emissions compliance, with Superleggera lightweight construction philosophy derived from historical Touring Superleggera coachbuilding methodology establishing naming heritage before replacement by third-generation Vanquish successor representing continued evolution of Aston Martin flagship GT positioning.
