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.

The DBS Superleggera comes as either a coupe or convertible (the Volante). Each one rolls off the lot with a turbocharged 5.2-liter V12 engine making 715 horsepower and 663 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels.
