The new Aston Martin DBS Superleggera makes Singapore debut

The brand new Aston Martin DBS Superleggera made its Singapore debut today at 45 Leng Kee Road. As the British marque's magnificent new Super Grand Tourer (GT) flagship, the DBS Superleggera replaces the esteemed Vanquish S, and sits at the pinnacle of the Aston Martin production range. 

Combining generous proportions with aggression and athleticism, the DBS Superleggera expresses itself with an explicitly beautiful design language, such as with its immaculately sculpted carbon fibre body panels.

As befits its flagship status, the interior of the DBS Superleggera features a high level of craftsmanship, with extensive scope for personalisation via a generous choice of options. Supple leather and Alcantara upholstery comes as standard, as do the Sports Plus performance seats and steering wheel.

There is a choice of two 21-inch alloy wheel designs - the standard 'Y' Spoke Forged Wheel and the Lightweight Twin Spoke Forged wheel - fitted with Pirelli tyres developed specifically for the DBS Superleggera. There is also a choice of striking Designer Specifications, with specially chosen colour and trim combinations selected by the Aston Martin Design Team to accentuate certain aspects of the DBS Superleggera's character.

The chassis is an evolution of the latest generation lightweight bonded aluminium structure first seen on the DB11, with forged double wishbones at the front and a sophisticated multi-link system at the rear. Latest generation adaptive damping is fitted as standard, while both the powertrain and chassis have a choice of three dynamic modes - GT, Sport and Sport Plus. 

Advanced aerodynamics on the DBS Superleggera also both cheats the wind and clamps the car to the road.

Evolving innovative aerodynamic concepts first seen on the DB11 - such as the curlicue and Aeroblade - and then taking things further with an F1-inspired double-diffuser, the DBS Superleggera is able to generate 180kg of downforce at VMAX, the highest figure ever for a series production Aston Martin. At the heart of the DBS Superleggera is Aston Martin's 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine.

Set low and and as far back in the chassis as possible to optimise the centre-of-gravity and weight distribution, this high-performance engine develops 715bhp and 900Nm or torque.

Detailed tuning of the V12 together with a new exhaust strategy with active valves and quad tail pipes ensures the DBS Superleggera has a commanding and powerful sound character, particularly in the more aggressive dynamic modes, while retaining a level of refinement and civility that compliments its role as the consummate Super GT.
 
The DBS Superleggera deploys its immense power to the rear wheels via a new rear-mounted ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. Featuring a mechanical limited-slip differential and torque vectoring for precise, predictable and exploitable handling and a lower final drive for explosive in-gear acceleration, the DBS Superleggera combines the responses of a supercar with the refinement of a GT. 

The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is available for public viewing at Aston Martin Singapore showroom from 17^th to 23^rd August 2018
