Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate: Flagship Grand Tourer Exits The Stage With Style & Grace
The first Aston Martin DBS debuted in 1967 with three defining traits: a potent engine, an aerodynamic shape, and a plush cabin. The original car had a 282-horsepower 4.0-liter straight-six engine, but the DBS V8 came in 1969 with a burly 320-horsepower 5.3-liter V8. It disappeared for a few decades before reentering the market in 2007, this time with a seriously potent 510-horsepower 6.0-liter V12. In production until 2012, the DBS V12 played a starring role in the 23rd installment of the James Bond flick Quantum of Solace, cementing its status as the ultimate grand touring sports car.

The current generation Aston Martin DBS entered our consciousness in 2019, bearing the Superleggera (superlight) moniker. It came brandishing an uprated 5.2-liter V12 with 715 stampeding horses and 664 lb-ft. of torque. As fate would have it, 2023 is the last year for Aston?s flagship super GT. Affectionately called the DBS 770 Ultimate, it?s the second most potent Aston Martin production car next to the stunning Valkyrie hybrid supercar.
?DBS has always sat at the pinnacle of the Aston Martin production model lineup,? said Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer. ?And now we?re infusing DBS 770 Ultimate with even more power, more performance purity, and all with more sophistication, more taste, and in the most considerate manner.?
