Aston Martin waves goodbye to its V12 engine with the DBS 770 Ultimate Edition
and 199 are open-topped Volante models. We sampled the former, trying out the Warwickshire-based company’s own example of this run-out collectors’ edition.
The original DBS models were given the ‘Superleggera’ appellation, a historic name that was somewhat at odds with the car’s size and weight. For the past couple of years, ‘superlight’ has been quietly dropped. In the case of the ‘770 Ultimate’, the number refers to the engine output in PS , making this the most powerful production Aston Martin ever made.
The engine itself has increased turbo boost and other tuning enhancements to increase the power output, with a responsiveness, soundtrack, and thirst befitting of 5.2 litres and 12 cylinders. The 8-speed transmission and carbon ceramic brakes are retained from the ‘standard’ model, while the 21-inch wheels are a new design specifically for this model.
Options and accessories are a bottomless well of possibilities, ranging from a four-piece bespoke luggage set to a unique drinks case, as well as the undivided attention of the Q by Aston Martin bespoke division, should you require more.
