Introduction

Aston Martin has produced many amazing GT cars over the years, such as the DB5, DB9, Vanquish, DB11, DBS etc, so the DBS Superleggera has got to be an amazing car in every aspect.

Performance

The car is pretty mad from a performance stand point. It produces 715bhp, and 664 pound feet of torque. This means the DBS can accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds, and go to a top speed of 211mph, which is pretty quick for a Super GT. All of this extra performance is due to a new ECU tune and a new cooling system.

Gearbox

The Superleggera has a ZF 8-Speed Gearbox, which is a good and widely used gearbox across many car manufacturers. The gearbox is one of the best torque-converter gearboxes avaliable, but not being dual clutch makes it slow to respond and awkward to use at lower speeds, which is due to the gearbox lowering the torque limit in lower gears.

Design

The DBS is based on the DB11, so it is a very beautiful car indeed. The DBS makes the car look more aggressive however, with a bigger opening at the front to allow the engine to breath more. The rear has been tweaked as well, to make the rear of the car more beautiful and angular compared to the DB11.

Interior

The interior of the DBS, is beautiful, with handstitched leather and wood dotted about the cabin, to make the experience more relaxing and calm. However, by just accidentally pressing a few buttons in the configurator, you can make the cabin ugly and horrific, it just depends on what your preference is.

Would I Buy One Over An 812 Superfast?

Yes, i would, even though the 812 is a brilliant car in its own right, the Superleggera is more of a cruiser and more comforting than the full-on 812.

A Brilliant super gt.
