Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate Debuts January 18 As A Limited Production Swan Song

[UPDATE: The story was updated with a new teaser, confirming the debut date of the Aston Martin DBS 770]

Aston Martin published a teaser video of the DBS 770 Ultimate, set to be unveiled in January 18, 2023 as a limited production special. The final edition of the V12-powered DBS will produce 760 hp (566 kW / 770 PS) and feature a number of visual and chassis upgrades over the stock model.

Visually, the DBS 770 Ultimate appears to be very similar to the DBS Superleggera retaining its sexy silhouette and LED lighting signature. It will however be distinguished by new features like the version-specific alloy wheels, and quite possibly a redesigned bodykit with reworked aero components.

The model will be fitted with an upgraded version of Aston Martin’s V12 engine producing 760 hp (566 kW / 770 PS). This figure is not as powerful as the rival Ferrari 812 Competizione, but it represents an increase of 45 hp (33 kW / 45 PS) compared to the twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 of the DBS Superleggera and the DBS Volante. In those models, the engine is exclusively mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic sending power to the rear wheels.

Besides having more power, the swan song of the DBS range will also be “re-engineered” and feature “sharper dynamic focus”, which translates to a revised chassis setup.

The Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate will be produced in a limited number of 499 units. The automaker didn’t reveal pricing but it will certainly be more expensive than the regular DBS Superleggera which starts from around $330,000.

We will learn more about Aston Martin’s “final edition flagship” in the official debut on January 18. The date was confirmed in a new DBS 770 teaser portraying the Aston Martin logo as the wings of a scarab.
