What is the Aston Martin DBS?
The DBS is a high-performance grand tourer that brings together long-distance touring and the presence of a flagship sports car. The badge has returned in different eras, including as the DBS V12 and later the DBS Superleggera. The latter name brought back Superleggera, a historic coachbuilding mark associated with lightweight construction.
DBS generations
The DBS V12 generation ran from 2007 to 2012. After a break, the name returned as the DBS Superleggera, which ran from 2018 to 2024. Aston Martin introduced it as a new Super GT, replacing the Vanquish S at the top of the range.
Engines, power and fuel consumption
The DBS versions listed across these markets use petrol engines. Engine sizes range from 5.2 to 5.9 litres in the EU, UK, US and Canada. EU power spans 380 kW (517 PS) to 566 kW (770 PS); UK listings show 533 kW (725 PS). The figures cover both the DBS V12 and DBS Superleggera eras.
The lowest listed EU fuel consumption is 13.4 L/100 km on WLTP. The UK and France figures are 12.4 and 15.5 L/100 km, respectively, on NEDC. In the US, the EPA figure is 13.8 L/100 km, or 17 MPG combined; Canada’s 5-cycle figure is also 13.8 L/100 km. WLTP and NEDC are European test procedures; EPA and Canada’s 5-cycle test differ, so results across markets are not directly comparable.
