The current Aston Martin DBS has been around since 2018. Since its launch, several versions have been introduced to keep the nameplate alive.
Aston Martin wants to “go above and beyond” in an upcoming version of DBS called the DBS 770 Ultimate. The latest version of the grand tourer is said to be the flagship of the last edition of the nameplate.
Details about the upcoming model aren’t plentiful, though a cinematic video teaser released by the Gaydon-based automaker should give us a glimpse of what to expect.

Assuming that the numerical designation follows that of the Aston Martin DBX707, the DBS 770 Ultimate can produce 770 metric horsepower or 759 brake horsepower (566 kilowatts). Precise details on how this is squeezed out of the alleged twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 are scarce.
As a benchmark, the very limited DBS Superleggera 007 Edition produces 715 hp (526 kW) and 664 pound-feet (900 Newton-meters) from a 12-pot mill. It can reach 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 3.4 seconds from a complete stop, which tops out at 211 mph (340 km/h). Suffice it to say, we expected better performance figures with the more powerful version of the Grand Tourer.
Distinctive design details will be used on the DBS 770 Ultimate, but are yet to be revealed in the next few months. The teaser doesn’t give away much except for the automaker’s name on what appears to be a green DBS back door and a few flashes of detail or you’d have missed it in the video teaser. The release stated that the new DBS would be “Re-engineered, sharper dynamic focus coupled with beautiful design.”
According to Aston Martin, the DBS 770 Ultimate will debut in early 2023, although an exact date has yet to be announced. It will be offered in limited quantities – 499 examples to be exact. The automaker is still silent about the price.
