The Aston Martin
DBS Superleggera pushes the marque’s GT cars into an entirely new performance
category, and in the process has fueled petrolheads’ imagination about an even
more hardcore variant. Enter the DBS Superleggera AMR, created by rendering
artist Allcarnews.
Following the
recent launch of the Aston Martin DB11 AMR, it’s become obvious that the
British automaker wants to increase the number of performance-focused vehicles
it sells. A DBS Superleggera AMR could top out the road-going AMR family and,
while the automaker has said nothing, we think it’d make for a great
range-topper.
Visual changes
between the fictional AMR and the standard DBS Superleggera are minor and the
only thing you’ll notice are a few bright yellow accents on the front and rear
fascias. If such a car were to see the light of day, we think it’d adopt some
more obvious upgrades, including bespoke wheels and a host of new carbon fiber
parts. If recent form is anything to go off, a DBS Superleggera AMR could very
well be produced.
On paper, the DBS
Superleggera appears to be an absolute animal. Aston Martin‘s 5.2-liter
twin-turbo V12 has been extensively modified to deliver 715 HP and 663 lb-ft of
torque. Mated to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to
the rear wheels, the super GT can reach 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and
continue through to a 339 km/h top speed.
