Aston Martin DBS Superleggera 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.
Offered as either a hardtop coupe or a ragtop convertible Volante, the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is a luxury sports car with style. Superleggera means “superlight” in Italian, but there’s nothing lightweight about this grand tourer.
DBS Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
Under its sculpted hood is a 715-horsepower V-12 engine that can propel the DBS Superleggera to a top speed of 211 mph—but it’s just as enjoyable during a more relaxed drive along the French Riviera.
Although it’s priced around the same as a Ferrari Purosangue SUV or a McLaren 765LT , the DBS Superleggera’s handling isn’t nearly as sharp as the supercars. Instead, the Aston encourages you to slow down occasionally and be seen.
What’s new ?
Aston Martin has made no discernible changes to the DBS Superleggera , aside from introducing a limited-edition 007 model to celebrate the launch of James Bond’s latest adventure, No Time to Die. The DBS Superleggera itself will star alongside Daniel Craig’s Bond and a cast of four-wheeled heroes such as the Land Rover Defender and Aston Martin Valhalla hypercar when the film opens next year.
We believe the open-air experience of the Volante soft-top convertible is the one to go for. Aston Martin offers a wealth of customisation options for the DBS, so we challenge you to create a distinctive look that will help the car stand out at concours car shows 50 years from now.
Engine, transmission and performance
Superleggera (“superlight” in Italian) may not be the best description for this Aston; “superfast” might be more accurate, with a claimed zero-to-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds for the coupe and a top speed of 211 mph for both coupe and convertible. A twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V-12 engine makes 715 horsepower and drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic; press the accelerator and the DBS takes off like a Saturn V rocket. Encounter some twisty roads and the DBS is rewarding – if challenging – to drive fast. The ride is compliant over rough pavement, but don’t expect the same level of refinement as in a Mercedes-Benz ML-Class .
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
Like other high-performance exotic sports cars, the DBS Superleggera isn’t particularly fuel-efficient, but its 22-mpg highway fuel economy rating from the EPA puts it ahead of competitors like the Ferrari F8 Tributo (19 mpg highway) and the Lamborghini Huracán (18 mpg highway). We didn’t get a chance to test the DBS’s fuel efficiency on our 200-mile highway fuel economy test, but if we ever do, we’ll update this story with the results.
Interior, comfort and cargo
The DBS Superleggera is a grand touring sports car and as such comes with plenty of luxury as standard to make your journey comfortable. Leather-trimmed electrically adjustable sports seats with heating and memory settings are standard. The cabin can be finished with various types of trim, including open-pore ash wood, carbon fibre or satin chrome. We’re not sure how many carry-on suitcases will fit in the DBS’s boot as we unfortunately didn’t have one in our office to test. But Aston Martin will sell you a four-piece custom luggage set that’s even colour-coordinated to match the interior of your car.
Infotainment and connectivity
All DBS Superleggera models come with an 8.0-inch infotainment display with navigation, as well as Bluetooth phone and audio streaming connectivity. The infotainment interface itself is a slightly revamped version of Mercedes-Benz ‘s COMAND software ; a click wheel and touchpad are located on the center console to navigate the menus, and it’s a fairly intuitive system overall. A nine-speaker stereo is standard, but buyers can upgrade to a Bang & Olufsen setup.
Safety and driver assistance functions
Neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have crash-tested a DBS Superleggera, and it’s unlikely that either agency will. As for driver assistance features, Aston Martin offers few such items on the DBS. Key safety features include:
- Standard parking sensors front and rear
- Standard 360-degree outdoor camera system
- Standard airbags and electronic stability control
Warranty and maintenance coverage
As a boutique car manufacturer, Aston Martin offers a unique warranty package consisting of a three-year protection policy that does not expire at a certain mileage. However, buyers of the DBS Superleggera will have to pay for their own servicing visits to the dealer as the brand does not offer free scheduled servicing as standard.
