The Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate is a brute in a suit that's ready to take on any road. Its stunning design, powerful engine, and upgraded chassis, makes this limited-edition supercar an elegant beast. luxury supercar AstonMartin

The 770 Ultimate is an “emphatic last word” for the DBS—and perhaps for Aston Martin’s 12-cylinder engine: also shoehorned into last year’s limited-edition V-12 Vantage. Only 499 examples of the Ultimate will be made, split between 300 coupes and 199 Volante convertibles, and the order book is already closed. “Even this press car has been sold,” I’m told as I collect the keys. Better be careful, then . . .

This brute’s suit may be a little sportier, but design chief Marek Reichman has wisely resisted the urge to bolt on a giant rear wingV-12 Vantage. For all its hypercar-baiting output, the DBS 770 Ultimate is still an iron fist in a velvet glove. Reichman sums it up as “something so raw, and yet so beautiful it’s almost intimidating to look at”.

Although the exterior of the DBS hasn’t dated a day, the interior’s wrinkles have started to show. The quality isn’t in the same league as, say, a Bentley Continental GT, and the squared-off steering wheel obscures the dials if you’re on the shorter side. Also, the touchpad controls aren’t very tactile and this particular iteration of Mercedes-Benz media system—which was outmoded even in 2018 – looks blockier than a Tetris tournament.
