The 2020 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera builds on the foundation of Aston's DB11 AMR as the brand's ultimate front-engine V-12 dream car. Read the full story here.
Despite the V-12 thunder under its hood, the DBS Superleggera has a sophisticated presence and a refined composure.
The DBS's twin-turbo 5.2-liter V-12 is largely shared with the lesser DB11 AMR, but software updates increase the boost to produce 715 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque.
A ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic is the sole transmission choice in the DBS.
The DBS Superleggera may not be quite as expensive as its Italian rivals, but it still costs a hefty $314,186 to start.
We estimate the DBS should reach 60 mph in 3.2 seconds.
Rear-wheel drive makes the DBS a bit tricky to launch off the line. Its straight-line performance is most impressive when accelerating from a cruise to extralegal speeds.
Even on our test car's big 21-inch wheels, the DBS rides reasonably well for a performance car of its caliber.
Generous amounts of carbon fiber, including for the front splitter and rear spoiler, a titanium exhaust, and a $4545 optional carbon-fiber roof panel help lighten the DBS by a claimed 159 pounds over the DB11 AMR.
The DBS's rich, leather-lined interior features Aston's trademark shift buttons in the center of the dash.
The DBS does feature two small cubbies in back that are supposed to be rear seats, but they're mostly only useful for stowing small bags.
