January 18, 2023, Gaydon, UK – Long associated with cars of exquisite style and intoxicating performance, the DBS nameplate has been attached to some of Aston Martin’s finest flagships. Since 2018, the DBS has stood at the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s series production range — a Twin-Turbo V12 powerhouse blessed with ferocious performance and unmatched style. With production of this current generation DBS nearing its end, Aston Martin is proud to introduce a DBS to surpass all others: the DBS 770 Ultimate.
The Ultimate Powerhouse
As its name suggests, the DBS 770 Ultimate is an emphatic last word. It is the most powerful production Aston Martin ever, and the fastest and most powerful DBS to date. Extensive design and engineering enhancements ensure the DBS 770 Ultimate is an unforgettable and highly-collectible celebration of Aston Martin’s flagship Super GT. Available in both Coupe and Volante form, the DBS 770 Ultimate will be built in strictly limited numbers — 300 Coupes and 199 Volantes — with all examples sold ahead of release.
Unleashed Performance
The DBS 770 Ultimate features a ferocious iteration of Aston Martin’s quad-cam 60-degree 5.2-liter V12 engine. Now developing an incredible 770PS at 6500rpm and a colossal 900Nm of torque from just 1800rpm to 5000rpm, this magnificent engine propels the DBS 770 Ultimate to a top speed of 211mph. The engine benefits from modified air and ignition pathways together with a 7% increase in maximum turbo boost pressure, delivering exceptional response, outstanding in-gear acceleration, and the authentic V12 soundtrack that enthusiasts crave.
Exhilarating Performance and Connected Driving
Power is fed through a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and mechanical Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) mounted at the rear of the car. The DBS 770 Ultimate receives a unique transmission calibration to enhance shift speeds and driver interaction, contributing to a truly connected driving experience. The Carbon Ceramic Braking (CCB) system ensures exceptional stopping power, using the same discs as fitted to the DBS.
To improve steering response and feedback, the DBS 770 Ultimate introduces a new solid mounted steering column, allowing the driver to enjoy a more precise connection with the road. Front end lateral stiffness has been improved by 25% to provide maximum performance feel and response, while enhancements to the Adaptive Damping System (ADS) preserve the DBS’s unmistakable character without compromising ride quality.
Breathtaking Design and Uncompromising Aesthetics
The DBS 770 Ultimate presents an assertive design and an uncompromisingly unique aesthetic befitting of a final edition model. The clamshell bonnet features a dramatic ‘horse-shoe’ engine vent and a new front splitter integrates two outboard vents, enhancing cooling while paying homage to previous DBS and V12 engine models. Carbon fiber elements, a unique rear diffuser design, and a distinctive 21″ wheel style inspired by the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Victor complete the stunning look of the DBS 770 Ultimate.
Exquisite Interior and Personalization Options
Inside, the DBS 770 Ultimate delights with a dazzling array of fresh design treatments while retaining the instantly recognizable cabin environment of the current DBS. Sports Plus Seats trimmed in full semi-aniline leather and Alcantara come standard, with Aston Martin’s performance seats available as an option. Bespoke trim options and unique sill plaques showcase Aston Martin’s commitment to personalization and attention to detail.
