Black Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

The DBS Superleggera combines the best of the modern Aston Martins with a historic name and presents it in a stunning package. While the DBS shares its design with the all-aluminum DB11, carbon fiber adorns much of the body in order to save weight. Lucky buyers can choose from the DBS coupe or the Volante convertible, which offers the same claimed 211-mph top speed but looks the business with its soft top folded. Unlike the DB11, all DBS Superleggeras come with a 715-hp V-12 engine that provides shocking acceleration and a spine-tingling exhaust note. But it’s not perfect, and ironically so: Superleggera stands for “super-lightweight” but the DBS is heavy, which keeps it from being a superhero on curvy back roads. That bulk makes it more challenging to drive quickly than many other exotic sports cars.

If this matte black DBS Superleggera wasn’t already enough, the owner had it outfit with our lightweight 22×10.5 and 22×12 Brixton Forged PF8 Ultrasport+ ™ finished in a Satin Firecracker Black to compliment the matte black body color.
