Aston Martin DBS Series 1

1967 – 1973

The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, a grand touring car produced by British manufacturer Aston Martin since 2018, is a high-performance luxury vehicle that serves as a successor to the second-generation Vanquish. The car was unveiled in June 2018 and is built on the foundation of the DB11 V12 platform, although it has notable modifications to set it apart from the DB11 lineage. The DBS Superleggera inherits its name from earlier models in the Aston Martin lineup, including the classic DBS model produced from 1967 to 1972, and the DB9-based DBS V12 which was available between 2007 and 2012. Notably, the use of the Superleggera name pays homage to Italy's Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, a renowned automotive design and coachbuilding firm that collaborated with Aston Martin in creating their lightweight grand touring cars in the mid-20th century. This modern iteration of the DBS Superleggera boasts a powerful V12 engine and a refined design that embodies luxury and performance. The car's exterior and interior styling reflect Aston Martin's commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail, blending elegant aesthetics with aerodynamic efficiency. Key Points: 1. The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, introduced in 2018, is a grand touring car succeeding the Vanquish. 2. It is based on the DB11 V12 platform with modifications distinguishing it in design and performance
