2023 Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate revealed

Aston Martin is celebrating the end of its current-generation DBS sports car with a special edition – and it's already sold out.

The 2023 Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate is the most powerful production car from the British brand, with performance enhancements for its twin-turbo V12 engine.

It will be produced in coupe and convertible form – 300 and 199 examples, respectively – with all examples accounted for ahead of its official release.

Under the bonnet, the DBS 770 Ultimate features the brand's 60-degree 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbo engine, with 566kW (at 6500rpm) and 900Nm (from 1800rpm – 5000rpm) – up 41kW, while torque is unchanged.

This is achieved through modified air and ignition pathways, and a seven per cent increase in maximum turbo boost pressure.

It has a top speed of 340 kilometres per hour, while its 0-60 mph (0-97km/h) sprint is a claimed 3.2 seconds for the coupe and 3.4 seconds for the convertible. This is two-tenths quicker than the standard DBS.

As with the standard model, power is delivered to the rear wheels through a ZF-sourced eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission and a mechanical limited-slip differential.

However, the transmission has been re-tuned with a unique calibration for enhanced shift speeds, while there's a new solid-mount steering column to improve driver feedback.

It retains the standard DBS's ceramic brakes, which comprise 410 millimetres x 38mm front discs and 360mm x 32mm rear discs, while the chassis is stiffer, and its adaptive suspension has been revised to increase "control and composure without compromise to ride quality."

Exterior revisions include unique 21-inch alloy wheels, a 'horse-shoe' bonnet vent, carbon fibre trims, and a new front splitter. There's also a redesigned rear diffuser that "maintains aerodynamic balance from front to rear."

Inside, the DBS 770 Ultimate features Sports Plus seats with quilted leather and Alcantara upholstery, an exclusive contrasting trim, and a special badge to identify each vehicle's place in the limited production run.

The 2023 Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate will commence production in the United Kingdom this quarter, with first deliveries set to commence in mid-2023. No pricing details have been announced, but if you have to ask…
