Aston Martin published a teaser video of the DBS 770 Ultimate, set to be unveiled in early 2023 as a limited production special. The final edition of the V12-powered DBS will produce 760 hp and feature a number of visual and chassis upgrades over the stock model.
Visually, the DBS 770 Ultimate appears to
be very similar to the DBS Superleggera retaining its sexy silhouette and LED
lighting signature. It will however be distinguished by new features like the
version-specific alloy wheels, and quite possibly a redesigned bodykit with
reworked aero components.
The model will be fitted with an upgraded
version of Aston Martin’s V12 engine producing 760 hp. This
figure is not as powerful as the rival Ferrari 812 Competizione, but it
represents an increase of 45 hp compared to the twin-turbo
5.2-liter V12 of the DBS Superleggera and the DBS Volante. In those models, the
engine is exclusively mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic sending power to the
rear wheels.
Besides having more power, the swan song
of the DBS range will also be “re-engineered” and feature “sharper dynamic
focus”, which translates to a revised chassis setup. The Aston Martin DBS 770
Ultimate will be produced in a limited number of 499 units. The automaker
didn’t reveal pricing but it will certainly be more expensive than the regular
DBS Superleggera which starts from around US$ 330,000. We expect to learn more
about Aston Martin’s “final edition flagship” soon, as the official debut is
imminent.
