Aston Martin DBS Ultimate

There’s a new flagship from Gaydon: the Aston Martin DBS Ultimate. These images show the DBS Ultimate, which has been revealed on the firm's website.

Offered in both Coupe and Volante bodystyles and in a choice of three colours – Quantum Silver, Silver Fox or Carbon Black II - this special-edition model takes the 510bhp 6.0-litre V12 DBS and adds diamond-turned 20-inch alloys and black detailing.

There’s smoked taillights with carbon fibre inserts, gloss black surrounds and carbon fibre wing caps and fill-ins. There’s also black brake calipers, which can also be optioned in contrasting red or yellow.

Inside, there's diamond-quilted leather seats, Alacantara rooflining with carbon fibre fascia and red inserts on the gear paddles, if you choose the automatic transmission. There’s DBS Ultimate badging in and out, too.

Performance remains as per the standard car, with a claimed 0-62mph time of 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 190mph.

Production of the new Aston Martin DBS Ultimate will begin in June and will be limited to just 100 units. It has a £10,000 premium over the DBS, which means a starting price of £186,582 - this puts it on a par with the DBS Carbon Edition.
