Description
The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is the pinnacle of grand touring performance in the Aston Martin lineup, blending stunning design, luxurious appointments, and exhilarating performance. With its 5.2-liter V12 engine, advanced technology, and hand-crafted interior, the DBS Superleggera offers an unmatched driving experience, making it a true flagship model. Design and Exterior The DBS Superleggera features a breathtaking design that exudes power and elegance. The name "Superleggera," which means "super light" in Italian, pays homage to Aston Martin's collaboration with Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring in the 1960s. The lightweight construction is evident in the use of carbon fiber for the hood, roof, front splitter, and rear diffuser. The car’s aggressive front fascia includes a massive honeycomb grille, flanked by sleek LED headlights, while the long hood and muscular rear haunches enhance its athletic stance. The rear of the car is equally striking, featuring a subtle integrated spoiler, quad exhaust outlets, and signature "C-shaped" LED taillights. The 21-inch alloy wheels, available in various designs, complete the car's commanding presence on the road. Interior and Comfort Inside the DBS Superleggera, luxury and craftsmanship are paramount. The interior is hand-finished with the finest materials, including leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber trim. The seats are deeply bolstered for support during spirited driving but are also designed for long-distance comfort, with options for heating and ventilation. The cabin is driver-focused, with a flat-bottomed steering wheel, metal paddle shifters, and a digital instrument cluster. The center console features a touchscreen infotainment system that controls navigation, audio, and vehicle settings. Although the system is based on older Mercedes-Benz technology, it remains functional and intuitive. Passengers are treated to a high level of comfort, with ample legroom and headroom in the front. The rear seats, while more suitable for occasional use, are finished to the same high standards. The interior is customizable with a wide range of color combinations and materials, allowing owners to tailor the car to their tastes. Performance and Powertrain At the heart of the DBS Superleggera is a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, which produces a staggering 715 horsepower and 663 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an 8-speed Touchtronic III automatic transmission, which provides smooth and responsive shifts. The car’s power is delivered to the rear wheels, propelling it from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 211 mph. The V12 engine is not only powerful but also offers a distinctive soundtrack that enhances the driving experience. The quad exhaust system provides a deep, throaty roar that can be adjusted via the drive modes, which include GT, Sport, and Sport+ settings. These modes adjust the throttle response, suspension stiffness, and exhaust note, allowing drivers to customize the car's behavior. Handling and Dynamics The DBS Superleggera is engineered for both high-speed stability and agility on twisty roads. It features an adaptive damping system that adjusts the suspension in real-time based on driving conditions and selected drive mode. The car's chassis is designed to be both stiff and lightweight, contributing to its dynamic handling characteristics. The rear-wheel-drive layout, combined with a mechanical limited-slip differential, ensures that the DBS Superleggera delivers power efficiently to the road, providing excellent traction and cornering ability. The steering is precise and responsive, offering excellent feedback to the driver. For stopping power, the DBS Superleggera is equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes as standard, which provide strong and consistent braking performance, even under hard driving conditions. Technology and Infotainment The infotainment system in the DBS Superleggera is centered around an 8-inch display, offering navigation, audio controls, and Bluetooth connectivity. While the system is based on older technology from Mercedes-Benz, it remains reliable and easy to use. The car also features a premium audio system, available in standard or optional Bang & Olufsen configurations, providing high-quality sound to complement the luxurious interior. Other technological features include keyless entry, push-button start, and a 360-degree camera system, which aids in parking and low-speed maneuvers. Adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and other driver assistance systems are available, enhancing both safety and convenience during long drives. Safety and Driver Assistance The DBS Superleggera comes equipped with a suite of safety features, including multiple airbags, ABS, traction control, and stability control. Advanced driver assistance systems such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control are also available. The car's carbon-ceramic brakes, combined with its advanced aerodynamics, contribute to high levels of safety at speed, ensuring that the driver can maintain control in various driving conditions. Fuel Efficiency Given its performance credentials, the DBS Superleggera’s fuel efficiency is reasonable for a V12-powered grand tourer. The car is expected to achieve around 14 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, though real-world figures will vary based on driving style and conditions. The car features a sizable fuel tank, making it capable of longer journeys without frequent refueling. Auction date: 15/08/2024
