Build Your Own Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, But Try Not to Drool
The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera debuted this week, so naturally, it’s time to mess around with the online configurator.
The DBS Superleggera is essentially a hardcore, track-focused take on the luxurious DB11. The twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12 has been tuned to 715 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, which is paired with a specially tuned version of Aston’s eight-speed automatic transmission. With all that power being sent to the rear wheels, the grand tourer can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.4s and reach a top speed of 211 mph. It also generates nearly 400 lbs of downforce at that speed, ensuring it feels nearly as comfortable at 200+ mph as it does at 20 mph.

Aston Martin has been getting more adventurous with its options lately and as such, the DBS Superleggera is available in a wide variety of whacky exterior and interior colors and with different brake caliper colors. Our example car is a rather boring shade of white, but we’ve spruced things up a bit with the optional gold wheels and an eyebrow-raising red and white interior.
