Aston Martin, a British premium automaker, just unveiled the DBS 770 Ultimate to the general market. The legendary V12 engine that the company has relied upon since its founding makes its final appearance in this model, which also serves as the final iteration of the DBS moniker.
The DBS 770 Ultimate is not only the fastest and most potent Aston Martin model ever made, but it is also the most potent Aston Martin car ever made in general. The two primary body types available for this car are the coupe and the Volante. There will only be a total of 449 units for sale in all of the world (300 units of Coupe and 199 units of Volante). The fact that all of the units have already been purchased and that the business has ceased taking new orders, as a result, shouldn’t be shocking. It is anticipated that shipments would start to be made accessible in the third quarter of 2023.
Because this specific model is the very last incarnation of the DBS designation, Aston Martin has made sure that it will receive a befitting send-off. Due to this, the DBS 770 Ultimate’s engine has been modified to have dual turbochargers and 5.2 litres of displacement. This engine has the capacity to produce 900 Nm of torque and 770 horsepower. As a result, the ship’s flagship, the Gaydon, is now capable of reaching a high speed of 211 miles per hour.
By boosting the turbo boost pressure by 7% and making some adjustments to the air and ignition channels, Aston Martin was able to produce that extra power. Additionally, ZF’s eight-speed automatic transmission has been tweaked to speed up gear changes.
The Carbon Ceramic Braking (CCB) system and the new solid-mount steering column that are both included with the DBS 770 Ultimate all work together to improve the steering’s responsiveness and feedback. Aston Martin has also made changes to the front cross member and thickened the rear undertray as part of this upgrade. The latter has helped to improve the front-end lateral stiffness by 25% while the former has resulted in a three per cent rise in global torsional stiffness. In order to enhance the DBS 770 Ultimate’s handling, the Adaptive Damping System (ADS) has also been tweaked. The goal was to improve the vehicle’s performance by doing this.
The DBS’s clamshell bonnet has been redesigned with a new front splitter, a horseshoe-shaped engine vent, and new air holes for better cooling and ventilation. The purpose of these modifications is purely aesthetic. Along with having carbon fibre parts, the Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate also has brand-new wheels with a diameter of 21 inches and Pirelli P Zero tyres mounted on them.
Chief Executive Officer of Aston Martin, Lawrence Stroll, has said “It is a fitting end for both the V12 engine and the DBS moniker that the DBS Ultimate serves as a fitting swan song. It is a vehicle that flawlessly exemplifies Aston Martin’s ability to realise the full potential of both its engineering and its design. We are really proud of ourselves for creating such a strong and stunning vehicle, and we are sure that in the not-too-distant future, collectors will place a great value on it.”
It is obvious that the DBS 770 Ultimate pays both the prestigious DBS name and the V12 engine due respect. As a result of the clear homage, this is the situation. Aston Martin has ensured that the DBS designation will be accorded a dignified goodbye with the release of its very final edition by producing a car that embodies the pinnacle of its technological and creative abilities. This will be the case as the aforementioned vehicle represents the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s technological and creative abilities. Every Aston Martin collector ought to buy a DBS 770 Ultimate because it is a car that will be remembered for many years to come and because owning one is a requirement.
