Description
The 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is a commanding British grand tourer that blends handcrafted luxury with genuine supercar performance. Finished with 18,035 km, this rear wheel drive example is offered at $339,888 and pairs its petrol powertrain with a dual clutch transmission for rapid, seamless gear changes.
At its heart is Aston Martin’s 5.2 litre twin turbocharged V12, producing 715 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and up to 664 lb ft of torque from 1,800 rpm. That force reaches the rear wheels with the authority expected of a flagship Aston Martin, delivering 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph, or 340 km/h. Its long, sculpted profile conceals serious aerodynamic intent, while carbon fibre body panels and a lightweight bonded aluminium structure help reduce mass and sharpen the car’s response.
The DBS name dates back to 1967, while Superleggera pays tribute to the lightweight construction principles associated with Italian coachbuilder Touring, a historic Aston Martin partner. Designed under Marek Reichman, the modern DBS combines a dramatic grille, muscular haunches, and an elegant 2 plus 2 cabin with the presence of a true flagship. The result is a car equally suited to covering long distances and attacking open roads, with adaptive driving modes, powerful carbon ceramic brakes, and a mechanical limited slip differential supporting its performance character.
With a dry kerb weight reported at 1,693 kg and production limited to 499 examples across coupe and convertible versions, the DBS Superleggera remains an exclusive modern Aston Martin. This low kilometre example offers a rare opportunity to experience one of the marque’s most memorable V12 grand tourers.
