Replacing Vanquish, Aston Martin‘s DBS Superleggera will represent the pinnacle of Aston’s sports GT lineup. Superleggera means super lightweight in Italian and Aston also hints that this may play an important role in the upcoming DBS, something that could prove very interesting, considering that Astons have never really been considered featherweights.
“When you hear the name DBS Superleggera, you know what it is,” said Marek Reichman, chief creative officer for Aston Martin. “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.”
It’s a nod to Touring Superleggera. The lightweight Italian coachbuilder is responsible for designing the DB4, 5 and 6 Mark 1, and Aston hints that the new model won’t wear the Superleggera name in vain, hinting at the new car’s lightweight credentials
The DBS Superleggera is set to make its world debut in the second quarter of 2018
