At the beginning of the year, Aston Martin premiered a limited edition of the most powerful car from the DBS generation, the Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate. The first example was sold at the Action Innocence Charity Gala for CHF 750,000 (over EUR 761,000). Now the open air version of this model has arrived on the market, with which Aston Martin ends the story with a V12 engine, the Aston Martin DBS 770 Volante. Only 199 units will be produced.
Volante is powered by a 5.2-liter V12 biturbo engine with 759 hp (558 kW) and 663 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h). Better intake and ignition increased preload pressure by seven percent. Also, the engine is paired with a ZF 8-speed gearbox and a mechanical limited slip differential.
Since the DBS 770 Ultimate appeared on the market, it has attracted the attention of a large number of interested parties. It is equipped with improved steering that is now more precise, calibrated suspension and a stiffer chassis. There’s also a new front splitter, carbon details, windshield frame, side mirror housings and fender vents, new carbon side skirts and a unique rear diffuser.
According to some rumors, all 499 units that Aston Martin planned to produce have found their owners. No doubt the 199 units of the Volante model will be sold very soon as well.
