A few days ago, Aston Martin officially released the DBS 770 Ultimate (Ultimate can be literally translated as the final and final) official picture. The car is planned to be limited to 499 units, including 300 coupe hardtop and 199 Volante convertibles. According to Aston Martin, the DBS 770 Ultimate 499 production quota is currently sold out, and deliveries will begin in the third quarter of 2023. For reference, the official guidance price range of the 2023 DBS Superleggera sold in China is 4.008 million to 4.108 million yuan.
The DBS series was first introduced in June 2018 and is positioned as Aston Martin's Super GT flagship model, and the DBS 770 Ultimate released this time has also been called "the most powerful production car ever" by Aston Martin. With the launch of the DBS 770 Ultimate, the current generation of DBS will end production. Because the DBS 770 Ultimate is powered by a retuned 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbo engine, it could be Aston Martin's last production V12 engine.
The DBS 770 Ultimate continues the overall styling of the current generation of DBS with a newly designed body kit, which Aston Martin says will help improve air intake, heat dissipation and aerodynamics. At the same time, the car is equipped with a newly shaped 21-inch rim matching Pirelli P Zero high-performance tires, with a front wheel specification of 265/35 R21 and a rear wheel specification of 305/30 R21.
Inside, the DBS 770 Ultimate has been upgraded to semi-aniline leather and Alcantara wrapped Sports Plus seats, and is available with an exclusive nameplate representing the limited edition model. At the same time, the car can provide a variety of customized details, such as the strap-type design of the central armrest box.
