Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
The Aston Martin brand continues to strive towards the goal of ultimate performance and design within its lineup of track-focused supercars. With a rich heritage in motorsports, the use of lightweight aerodynamics plays a key role as the manufacturer looks to deliver the most versatile vehicles. The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera embodies high-performance while continuing to provide an effortless driving experience for any driving skill level. The DBS Superleggera body is designed to create downforce while using carbon fiber honeycomb openings to cool areas throughout the car.

The interior design layout focuses on not only creating a premium driving experience but also a top-notch passenger experience as well. Along with a set of premium leather sport plus seats, the DBS Superleggera features a user-friendly infotainment system and Aston Martin’s premium audio system. The interior driving experience is even more effortless with the ability to easily change driving modes, allowing the switch from sport to comfort with the click of a button. Inside and out, the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera proves itself as a versatile track-focused daily driver.
