Long associated with cars of exquisite styling and heady performance, the DBS nameplate has been attached to some of Aston Martin’s best flagships.
Since 2018, the DBS has been at the top of Aston Martin’s series production range; a Twin-Turbo V12 powerplant blessed with fierce performance and unmatched styling.
With production of this current generation DBS drawing to a close, Aston Martin is proud to present a DBS that surpasses all others; the DBS 770 Ultimate.
As its name suggests, the DBS 770 Ultimate is an emphatic last word. The most powerful production Aston Martin ever, and the fastest and most powerful DBS to date, extensive design and engineering improvements ensure the DBS 770 Ultimate is an unforgettable and highly collectible celebration of Aston Martin’s flagship Super GT. .
Available in both Coupé and Volante versions, the DBS770 Ultimate will be produced in strictly limited numbers: 300 Coupés and 199 Volantes, and all examples will be sold before launch.

Precise tuning of power and torque curves gives the driver a sense of performance without limits, with a heady combination of exceptional response, exceptional off-the-move acceleration and the authentic V12 soundtrack.
