AN ICONIC NAME FOR THE ULTIMATE FLAGSHIP – DBS IS BACK
First coined for the iconic 1967 William Towns’
designed-model, the DBS nameplate has been a key part of the brand’s heritage
for over 50 years. Resurrected in 2007 for Aston Martin’s then range-topping
model, designed by current Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman.
The DBS Superleggera completes the brand’s ambitions to
replace each of its existing two-door sportscar models as part of its Second
Century Plan. Sitting at the pinnacle of the sportscar line-up, DBS
Superleggera will feature the highest levels of performance, craftmanship and
design.
Along with the resurrection of the DBS nameplate, Touring’s
famous mark – Superleggera – will once again adorn the bonnet of an Aston
Martin. A collaboration that helped pave the way to the DB4, 5 and 6 Mark 1,
DBS will once again pay homage to the historic super lightweight construction
technology of Touring. The name also provides a hint as to what can be expected
of this upcoming model.
Marek Reichman said, “When you hear the name DBS
Superleggera, you know what it is. It’s the definitive Aston Martin Super GT.
It’s an icon, a statement and this one will be no different. We’ve pushed the
boundaries of performance and design to give this car a distinct character and
ensure it’s worthy of the heritage and weight that this name carries”.
