The last V12 DBS — 5.2-litre twin-turbo Superleggera and the 499-car 770 Ultimate send-off.
The DBS Superleggera, launched in 2018, was the flagship super-GT of Aston Martin's second-century range: a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 producing 715 bhp and 664 lb-ft, ZF eight-speed automatic, rear-wheel drive, carbon-ceramic brakes, and carbon-fibre body panels (the Superleggera name licensed from Touring, denoting lightweight construction). Offered as coupé and Volante.
The DBS 770 Ultimate (2023) was the one-year send-off for the line and for this generation of V12 flagship: the engine retuned to 759 bhp (770 PS, giving the name) and 664 lb-ft via a 7% boost increase, 0–60 mph in 3.2 s (coupé), 211 mph; a stiffer front cross-member (front lateral stiffness up 25%), solid-mounted steering column, unique vents, splitter and 21-inch wheels. It was the most powerful series-production Aston Martin at launch (the limited Valkyrie aside).
Strictly limited to 499 cars: 300 coupés and 199 Volantes; all sold out before delivery. Estimated launch price around $422,000 (coupé) / $445,000 (Volante).
The final V12 DBS flagship; the capped 770 Ultimate is the clear collectible of the range.
