DBS IS BACK: ALL-NEW ASTON
The new Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is the fastest and most powerful car the company has yet produced,and the 211mph super-GT has the Ferrari 812 Superfast firmly in its sights. The British manufacturer has revived the DBS nameplate last seen in 2012 for the new model, which effectively replaces the Vanquish S as its performance range-topper. The Superleggera suffix means ‘super light’ in Italian and harks back to the original DBS from 1967. The Vanquish name will now be saved for the firm’s McLaren 720S-rivalling midengined supercar, due in 2021. While it effectively replaces the Vanquish S, the new DBS Superleggera has a different brief. Aston Martin’s exterior design chief, Miles Nurnberger, said the name was “just wonderfully romantic”, and added: “This car is what it says it is. If we’d gone with another generation of Vanquish, you’d have a different car here.”
