Design
"We wanted to create a car that combined cutting edge aerodynamics with the classic muscularity and presence for which our most potent series production models are renowned."
– Marek Reichman
VP and Chief Creative Officer
Exterior
The silhouette is unmistakably Aston Martin, but somehow more. Stronger, broader and more muscular, designed to not only excite the eye but to deliver the performance of the most powerful Aston Martin Grand Tourer ever.
Interior
Where others stop, we start. Settle into the sumptuous, leather upholstered interior of the DBS and see how our high-performance seats support your body to perfection. In both driver and passenger seats, you are home before the journey has even begun.
A Whole New Realm of Luxury Redefined
Luxury is personal. Aston Martin adds another layer to luxury with the freedom to create your own environment. Select your own cabin for the DBS and either leave the decisions to our team of interior designers or treat it as your own blank canvas.
Taken by Its Beauty
Power has always been mesmerising. The hexagonal grille of the DBS combines unbounded strength with a form of natural beauty. Visual awe sets the tone for the entire car, providing the perfect canvas to celebrate the ferocious 715bhp engine.

Engineering and Performance
Power without control is power squandered
DBS is a hugely potent car. Every time I drive it I’m blown away by its raw performance.
– Matt Becker
More Speed, Less Weight
As a car gets faster, it requires more cooling, larger brakes and stronger suspension, which usually means more weight. Not so for the DBS. By using the finest and strongest lightweight materials, we’ve been able to upgrade the DBS to handle its phenomenal performance without piling on the kilos.
The Power of the Punch
715bhp is an impressive figure by any standards, but that’s just the start of the DBS’s talent. Even more phenomenal than the power of the hand-built 5.2 V12 twin-turbo engine is the torque. All 900Nm of it, available from just 1800 rpm. That’s more than any Aston Martin road car in our history.
The Architecture of Beautiful
Power without control is power that is squandered. That’s why DBS makes the most of the vast resources the V12 offers. A chassis of enormous rigidity, a classic double wishbone front suspension, a geometrically optimal multilink rear axle and extra stability thanks to a track that is 10mm wider than the DB11 at the front and 20mm wider at the rear. That’s power with control.
Beautifully Brutal
DBS has always combined elegance with speed, comfort with performance, luxury with raw power. The DBS Coupe and Volante continue that tradition, meticulously balancing beauty and beast in perfect symmetry.
Archetypal Elegance in Performance
An engine that can reach 62mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 211mph needs a very special transmission. The ZF 8HP95 gearbox gives DBS the most sophisticated driveline yet. Nestling between the rear wheels for optimal weight distribution, it not only adapts to the way you drive but offers a choice of characters according to the mode you select. Even the gear shifts have their own style, silky smooth in the GT, sharp and urgent in the Sport and Sport Plus.
Sonorous Soundtrack
An elegant quartet of matte black exhausts shares the peerless song of the DBS V12 with the world, both inside and outside the car. Underscored by the engine’s reassuring growl, it’s music to your ears.
Enticing Technology and Entertainment
DBS Coupe combines the finest craftsmanship with our latest technology to deliver a modern classic interior. Intuitive and simple to operate, two state-of-the-art TNT screens make sure you have everything you need at your fingertips – a 12″ screen for instrumentation and an 8″ display dedicated to infotainment, including our very latest satellite navigation system. How you operate it is up to you; touchpad, gesture or voice command give you total control.
