Aston Martin is going electric — for road-going vehicles, at least. The brand will produce its first EV in 2025, and all Aston Martins will feature an electrified powertrain by 2026. But in the meantime, Aston is offering one last V12 DBS model for the road, the DBS 770 Ultimate. And it seems like the sort of vehicle that any modern film iteration of James Bond would enjoy.
The DBS 770 Ultimate is Aston Martin’s most powerful production car ever
Aston MartinThe DBS — previously known as the DBS Superleggera — is Aston Martin’s high-performance, Twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12-powered Grand Tourer. The DBS 770 Ultimate receives an uprated engine; 770 stands for 770 metric horsepower (which works out to 759 U.S. horsepower), making it the most powerful production Aston Martin car ever. And with about 664 lb-ft of torque, the DBS 770 Ultimate can hit a top speed of 211 mph.
The DBS 770 Ultimate also comes with all the driving upgrades
Aston MartinAston Martin tuned the engine to deliver peak torque between 1,800 and 5,000 rpm. The eight-speed ZF automatic transmission is recalibrated for even quicker shifting. It has a new solid-mounted steering column for a more precise connection with the road and an enhanced adaptive damping system. Aston Martin says it improved front lateral stiffness by 25 percent. The carbon ceramic brakes remain untouched from the standard DBS because — according to Aston Martin — they are just that good.
