The 18th of January is a date you'll want to mark: the most powerful Aston Martin DBS in history is about to be unveiled

Are we about to witness the definitive Aston Martin DBS? The luxury carmaker has confirmed the unveiling date of its next special edition, which we are referring to as the Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate. It will be on January 18th, so we advise you to put the date in your calendar, as less than a week remains.

Everything seems to point to the 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine being the last time it appears in one of the brand’s exclusive models. It will produce 759 CV of power and more than 1,000 Nm of maximum torque, the same as the standard DBS. This may be an effort to avoid placing too much stress on the transmission.

The brand has offered a glimpse of a moody front view of the Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate, and everything suggests the model will feature a new bonnet design similar to that of the Aston Martin Vantage V12. It will also be available in coupé and convertible versions. Production will be limited to 300 units of the coupé and 199 of the convertible.

The new DBS will feature a rear spoiler that is not especially large, and its dynamics and road behaviour have been improved. The brand has described this model as “the final celebration of the DBS,” which is why it has developed the most powerful Aston Martin DBS to date. The Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate will undoubtedly draw inspiration from the original Aston Martin DBS, but we will have to wait a few days to learn its final price.

To give you an idea, the standard Aston Martin DBS starts at more than 300,000 euros. With this in mind, the new limited edition could have a starting price of around 400,000 euros. Within a week we will be able to confirm all these details and enjoy the definitive Aston Martin DBS.
