Aston Martin has revealed a strictly limited edition new DBS - and, in a reward to loyal customers, has done so via its customer website rather than an official announcement. The new DBS Ultimate is on sale now.
The new Aston Martin DBS Ultimate is offered either as a coupe or a Volante, in a choice of three colours: Carbon Black II, Quantum Silver or Silver Fox. It comes with the regular 510hp 6.0-litre V12 and has the choice of either manual or Touchtronic automatic transmissions.
At the front, the DBS Ultimate has a revised version of Aston Martin's most famous identifier, the grille: it comes in a special dark finish, with complementary black tail pipes at the rear. Brake calipers are available in yellow, red or black, and there's carbon figure detailing for the door mirrors and rear lamp in-fills, while the taillights themselves are also smoked.
An additional identifier for DBS Ultimate is the red 'S' in the DBS badge, plus a unique number plate surround and a painted decklid rear. This can be finished either in gloss or satin.
Inside, the Aston Martin DBS features diamond quilt stitching, with either red or silver contrast thread. The seats of the DBS Ultimate mirror the special logo on the rear of the one-of-100 Aston Martin, with a red 'S' embroidered in.
A neat detail touch is the leather-trimmed paddleshift levers: Aston calls the colour 'spicy red'.The launch of the DBS Ultimate comes as rumours circulate about Aston Martin's replacement for the DB9 and DBS range. Whether this really will be the swansong for the DBS range remains to be seen.
Production of the Aston Martin DBS Ultimate begins in June, so deliveries should commence in late summer: individually numbered sill plaques will identify each of the 100 cars.
