[Auto] 2020 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Is a Graceful Rocket

[Wolf.17]

An Aston Martin can't be vulgar. It needs to exude sophistication and tasteful restraint even when it has a 715-hp twin-turbo 5.2-liter V-12 under its hood. An Aston needs to be finely tailored in appearance and seductively composed in its manners, to attract attention without shouting. These aren't cars that tell the world their owners have arrived. They're a reward for doing the hard work of running the world.

The 2020 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, whether it's the coupe driven here or the DBS Volante convertible, pulls off all of those tricks with grace and ease.Aston is a small company that isn't backstopped by some corporate behemoth. It makes do with the assets and heritage it has on hand—plus a few bits that it buys from Mercedes-AMG. The bonded-aluminum structure of the DBS is shared with the DB11, which lends the two models the same basic shape. It's the details—and the thundering punch of the DBS's tweaked V-12—that separate the two.
