What you’re looking at is the highly-anticipated
2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, leaked ahead of its imminent online debut.
This image, sourced by Carscoops, was taken during a private preview of the
vehicle in Asia and follows on from a similar leak a couple of weeks ago.
The front of the DBS Superleggera is dominated by a
massive, blacked-out grille. Just below the grille, you’ll notice a gloss
carbon fiber splitter which seamlessly flows across the front and connects to a
pair of large air intakes on either side of the bumper. Also, the DBS
Superleggera receives a bespoke hood and new headlights.
As for the sides, they have been outfitted with
extended sills and aggressive air extractors behind each front wheel arch. The
wing mirrors are also painted gloss black to contrast the matte finish across
most of the supercar’s exterior. Inside, the Superleggera will adopt a
selection of carbon fiber accents and use a rotary controller for the
infotainment system borrowed from the Mercedes parts bin.
The
DBS Superleggera's twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 engine will produce roughly 700 HP. If true, that
would give the car a significant power advantage over the 630 HP DB11 AMR and
push it towards the 800 HP Ferrari 812 Superfast, the only other front-engined,
rear-wheel drive luxury super GT in the market.
We expect to see the DBS Superleggera unveiled
within the next month, and at some point it will be joined by an open-top
Volante version.
