2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

The DBS is Aston Martin's flagship grand tourer, the one that sits above the DB11 and goes after the Ferrari 812 Superfast. It drives with a blend of grand-touring comfort and supercar pace, so it's as happy on a long highway cruise as it is on a back road. Inside, you get a hand-stitched leather cabin with real metal switchgear, and the two seats up front are genuinely comfortable for long trips. It's a two-seat coupe with a modest trunk, so plan for weekend bags rather than a full set of luggage. Stepping up from the DB11 V12 to the Superleggera adds a significant power bump, a stiffer suspension tune, and carbon-ceramic brakes as standard, so it's the sharper, more track-capable choice. The 5.2L V12 makes 715 horsepower and 663 lb-ft of torque, routed through a eight-speed automatic to the rear wheels, so it hits 60 mph in about 3.4 seconds and sounds thunderous doing it. The Superleggera's standard adaptive dampers let you switch from a comfortable GT to a firm track setting, which is a genuine dual personality you won't get in the DB11.
