When Aston Martin brought back the DBS name in 2018, it was no longer for a slightly sharper DB11 derivative. The DBS Superleggera took the role of thermal flagship outright, with a `725 hp` twin-turbo `V12`, heavy aerodynamic work and huge road presence. Where a Porsche 911 leans on compactness and precision, the DBS goes after excess and unfiltered torque.
Despite the name, it is not a light car in the literal sense, but an extremely fast GT that relies on its `ZF 8-speed` gearbox, electronic differential and massive brakes to hold everything together. The `Ultimate` pushes the concept even further. It is a car that can cover serious distance at serious speed, provided maintenance stays worthy of a turbocharged engine with this much output.
