Say hello to all-new limited-edition Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate Volante

KUALA LUMPUR: Celebrating its 110th anniversary this year, the British automaker Aston Martin is gearing up to enter a new era of electrified supercars. But before that, it bids adieu to the DBS Superleggera with the unveiling of a special edition convertible model, dubbed as the DBS 770 Ultimate Volante. 

This is one of the fastest and most aggressive drop-tops Aston Martin has ever made and will be produced in a limited quantity of 199 units. All of those have already been spoken for.

Here are the key highlights of the 2023 Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate Volante -

• Compared to the standard DBS, the output sees a bump 0f 44 hp thanks to modified intake and ignition pathways
• The power is transmitted to the rear wheels through an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox which comes paired with a limited-slip differential

• Performance-wise, the car accelerates from zero to 100 kmph in 3.6-seconds and clocks a top speed of 340 kmph 
• Adding to the car’s exceptional performance and strength are chassis upgrades like a solid-mounted steering column, retuned adaptive damping system, a 25% more stiffed front end and a thicker undertray
• Design-wise, the all-new DBS 770 Ultimate Volante looks more aggressive than the standard version courtesy of a restyled bonnet having a Victor-inspired horseshoe vent, carbon-fibre window trims, a new front splitter, fender louvres, and a new rear diffuser
• The car rides on 21-inch diamond-cut wheels mated to 410 mm front and 360 mm rear carbon ceramic discs 

While the pricing for the limited-edition Aston MartinDBS 770 Ultimate Volante has not yet been announced by the automaker, deliveries are anticipated to commence in the third quarter of this year.
