The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera debuted in 2018 as the brand's flagship super GT, replacing the Vanquish S. It resurrected two famous names from Aston's past: DBS and Superleggera, referencing the lightweight construction of its carbon fiber body. Based on the DB11's architecture, the DBS received a major power upgrade, with its 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 tuned to produce 715 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful production Astons ever built.
Collectors are drawn to the DBS Superleggera for its status as a top-tier modern grand tourer that blends immense power with traditional front-engine GT comfort. Its aggressive styling and extensive use of carbon fiber distinguish it from the DB11, and special editions like the OHMSS, Concorde, and the final 770 Ultimate enhance its exclusivity. It represents a high point for Aston Martin's internal combustion V12 flagships before the shift toward hybridization.
The market for the DBS Superleggera has seen early models depreciate significantly from their original $300,000+ MSRP, creating a strong value proposition for buyers. An average sale price around $258,000 indicates the market is active, with the lowest prices for early coupes and the highest for late-model Volantes and special editions. As a recent halo car, its long-term collectibility is strong, especially for well-maintained and rare specifications.
Buying Tips
- Inspect all carbon fiber body panels, especially the front splitter and rear diffuser, for cracks, road rash, or delamination. Repairs are exceptionally expensive.
- The Mercedes-sourced infotainment system was dated upon release. Test all functions to ensure the rotary controller, screen, and connectivity features work as they should.
- The ZF 8-speed automatic transmission can be slightly clunky at low speeds, which is a known trait. During a test drive, ensure shifts are smooth under load and that there's no excessive hesitation.
- A complete and documented service history from an Aston Martin dealer or a trusted specialist is critical. V12 maintenance is costly, and deferred services can lead to major bills.
- Test all vehicle electronics, including the active exhaust modes, adaptive suspension settings, and power accessories. A pre-purchase inspection with a diagnostic scan is highly recommended.
Prices for the DBS Superleggera range from around $110,000 for early examples to as high as $400,000 for low-mileage special editions.
