Most of us will never be able to afford a car like a new Aston Martin. But we can dream, and dream we will with the latest addition to the British automaker’s online configurator.
Fresh to the web-based utility is Aston’s new DBS Superleggera – the flagship GT in the company’s lustworthy range and the successor to the old Vanquish.
The big brother to the DB11 packs a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 channeling 715 horsepower (533 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. And it’s wrapped in artfully aggressive bodywork that arguably makes even some of the automaker’s past collaborations with Zagato look tame by comparison.
The question is, what color would you choose to paint the bodywork were you so fortunate as to order one for yourself? And that’s just the start of it all.
The configurator lets you select between 34 standard exterior colors and another baker’s dozen from the Q palette. On top of that, customers can select between two finishes of carbon fiber for the aero kit, two taillight tints, two finishes for the hood and side vents, three for the wing mirrors, and a variety more for the roof, roof frame, wheels, brake calipers, badges, even the underside of the hood. And that’s before even peering inside, where you’ll find more than enough upholstery and trim options to make your head spin faster than the supercar’s 3.4-second 0-62 time and 211-mph (340 km/h) top speed.
So if you have a little time to waste on this glorious Sunday, go ahead and waste it right here.
