Aston martin’s new DBS Superleggera debut.
On June 26, 2018, the Aston Martin family’s new masterpiece DBS Superleggera made a stunning appearance, which announced the return of DBS series and Superleggera elements, among which DBS series came out in 1967, and the named Superleggera part aims to pay tribute to Touring, an Italian body manufacturer who first proposed the concept of ultra-lightweight.
As the flagship super GT sports car of the family, it will replace the Vanquish S model and upgrade its product strength in an all-round way. In terms of the most eye-catching power, it is equipped with a 5.2-liter V12 twin-turbo engine with a maximum output of 725 HP and a peak torque of 900 Nm. The top speed can reach 340 km/h, which is matched with the ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox, and the acceleration of 100 km takes only 3.4 seconds. With the brand-new active valve and four-out exhaust system, it brings a very powerful exhaust sound to the new car. In order to achieve more precise control, the new car is also equipped with a mechanical limited slip differential and a torque vector distribution system.
The new car has made great efforts in aerodynamics, for example, it adopts the hidden flower-shaped air passage design formed by shark gill vent and front wheel arch and the second generation of "wind blade" technology. A double-layer diffuser inspired by F1 racing cars was also introduced. With these help, the new car can generate 180 kilograms of downforce when driving at the top speed, which is by far the largest production model under Aston Martin. In addition, the new car not only uses lightweight bonded aluminum structure, but also is equipped with forged double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. With the support of the latest generation of adaptive damping system, the engine and chassis are provided with three dynamic modes to choose from.
The luxury of interior assembly is also not compromised. The new car not only comes standard with many advanced configurations, including keyless entry, tire pressure monitoring system, 360-degree panoramic camera, parking distance display and parking assistance, but also the appearance of Bang & Olufsen Hi-Fi audio system is a special standard for China models.
Alcantara fabric and leather veneer as well as Sports Plus high-performance seat and steering wheel are standard, reflecting a high level of manufacturing technology. In addition, the new car also offers a variety of designer kits and color schemes to choose from. The new car will be delivered to the China market at the end of 2018. Suggested retail price: RMB 3,768,000.
