History
The DBS is a flagship Aston Martin model that debuted in 1967 featuring an angular fastback silhouette designed by William Towns. It underwent various changes through time, initially equipped with an inline-six before upgrading to a V8 during its first generation (1967-1972). After a hiatus, the DBS name was revived in 2007 with a modern V12 coupe based on the DB9 platform, featuring a VH structure and carbon fiber elements. In 2018, Aston Martin introduced the DBS Superleggera, a fresh take on the model featuring a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine. This version revitalizes the nameplate with new technical advancements and a more aggressive positioning within the brand's lineup.
