Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate. The most powerful Aston Martin
The Aston Martin DBS is one of 007's favorite cars. And now its third generation, which has been produced since 2018, has acquired the final version. The Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate is not only one of the most beautiful cars in the British manufacturer’s model range, but also the most powerful production front-engined Aston Martin ever, according to the company. The supercar features a 770-horsepower V12 engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It will be released in a limited edition, comprising only 300 coupes and 199 convertibles, and all cars have already been sold out. The final special version will go to buyers in the 3rd quarter of 2023.
The Aston Martin DB11/DBS family of supercars is getting ready for a major upgrade: camouflaged prototypes of the new models are already on European roads. And they will no longer have a V12 engine, because it does not fit into future environmental standards, and therefore lives out its life. The final special version of the Aston Martin DBS will be released in the amount of 499 units, and it will be one of the last to feature a V12 engine.
Exterior
The Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate comes with beautifully patterned 21-inch wheels. At the front, the final special version can be recognized thanks to the new hood with a large horseshoe-shaped air duct. The aerodynamics have also been improved: the car has received a different carbon fiber body kit around the perimeter and different air intakes in the front bumper. The body has become stiffer. The rigidity of the front end has grown by 25%, while the entire body became 3% more rigid.
Interior
The car features carbon fiber inserts, similar to paddle shifters, as well as Sports Plus seats upholstered in leather and Alcantara. The center armrest has a strap with the DBS 770 Ultimate logo engraved on the buckle. The model offers a contrasting two-tone finish. The list of supercar options is extensive and available through the Q by Aston Martin personalization program. Additional options include body-colored wheels, tinted carbon-fiber trim, woven leather seat inserts, inlaid trims and a carbon-fiber steering wheel.
Powertrains
The 2023 Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate is equipped with the same 5.2-liter V12 engine with two turbines. It has better ignition and intake systems, while the boost pressure has grown by 7%. Engine output has increased from 715 to 770 hp, the torque is the same: 900 Nm. The car has a reconfigured ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox, adaptive dampers and electronics. The dynamics of the car has not changed: the maximum speed is the same 340 km/h, while the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h occurs in 3.4 seconds. But thanks to the increased rigidity, as well as the new steering column, the car has acquired a more driver-oriented character.
