If you close your eyes and imagine the ultimate exotic luxury coupe, it probably looks a lot like the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. The top model in Aston Martin's lineup, the DBS Superleggera represents everything the brand has to offer in terms of speed, quality and comfort. And it looks the part. Distinctive styling makes it clear that the DBS Superleggera is in rare air, and a turn behind the wheel — with 715 horsepower on tap — drives the point home with authority.

There aren't many competitors in this range that prioritize comfortable, long-distance grand touring. Most cars this expensive focus on performance first, and the DBS Superleggera is less suited for a racetrack than its rivals from Ferrari and McLaren. But there's a special allure to the grace, glamour and brute force of Aston Martins. And it doesn't get more Aston Martin than this.

Which DBS Superleggera does Edmunds recommend?

Each DBS Superleggera is functionally the same, but you can add several packages and options to make this dream car your own. Personally, we'd skip the Underbonnet Jewellery Pack that swathes the engine bay in gold, though the Q Exterior Pack with gloss black carbon-fiber accents strikes an agreeable balance between sport and luxury. The lightweight forged wheels, carbon-fiber roof and titanium exhaust would also round out the DBS Superleggera quite nicely.

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera vs. the competition

2021 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera vs. Ferrari 812 Superfast

Where the DBS weaves performance into its luxurious demeanor, the 812 Superfast is about maximum performance all the time. From striking looks to a shrieking naturally aspirated V12, the 812 Superfast has a take-no-prisoners approach to grand touring that makes it an exceptional athlete. It doesn't offer a convertible option, however.

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera vs. McLaren GT

The McLaren GT is the rare mid-engine grand tourer, using an engine position designed for better performance and offering front and rear trunks to maximize cargo space. As a result, it has excellent acceleration and handling, though its attempt at luxury comfort is inherently compromised. Still, the GT looks great, and the vertically opening doors never fail to impress.

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera vs. Bentley Continental

As one might expect, the Bentley provides premium luxury and comfort on the road, with a sumptuous interior designed to make road trips stress-free. The downside is all that grandeur adds a lot of weight. The Continental is fast but not as athletic as the DBS, and its styling is reserved by comparison. Of course, to many Bentley owners, that's the point.

And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
