Lagonda's V12 Swan Song of Ultimate Ferocity Tailored in Seductive Superleggera Livery & Extravagantly Optioned - One of 300 Coupés Produced
“It’s the end of the line for the DBS, so it’s no surprise that Aston Martin has pulled out all the stops for the final DBS 770 Ultimate, perhaps quite literally in the case of its 5.2-litre, twin-turbo V12, which sees power raised from 725 to 770ps. That’s up from 715 to 759bhp in old money, which doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, but, ye gods, in whatever currency you choose, that’s a spectacular amount of power in a rear-drive GT car. Ask anyone who’s driven the 715bhp DBS what it needs, and I’d bet good money the least likely answer is ‘more power,’ but here we are. The 770 Ultimate takes the accolade of being the most powerful series production Aston Martin of all time, pipping even the limited run One-77 and its 7.3-litre, naturally aspirated V12 along the way.
There’s 5.2 litres before the turbos spool up, so the DBS starts moving as soon as you squeeze the throttle, but when the turbos chip in, which they do from ludicrously low revs with hardly any throttle opening, the DBS lunges forward. It does this from 2000 rpm in any gear, and the deeper you’ve pressed the throttle, the deeper the V12 and its turbos will dig. It’s mighty and slightly terrifying performance,an eye-widening, jaw-slackening grunt that makes you suddenly more interested in the ability of the rest of the car and your connection with it, particularly in the wet. Happily, it’s all good news. Firstly, the ride is firm but fair, taking the edge off all manner of tricky Tarmac, while pitch and roll are well managed, giving the Ultimate a feeling of solid composure. Early DBSs felt soft at the rear, perhaps to aid traction, whereas the Ultimate feels all of a piece yet still finds remarkable traction. The steering is rather good, too, precise and slack-free, the nose obedient. The efforts are perhaps a fraction high but accurately convey the car’s mass.
It’s a mighty thing, the DBS 770 Ultimate. The chassis changes enhance the experience more than the uplift in power, especially as they allow you to use more power with confidence. As said before, the DBS has no natural rivals, straddling the gap between super GTs like the Bentley Continental and supercars like the Ferrari 812 with a unique blend of style, practicality, and stupendous performance. And the $420,000 Ultimate is the best ever”.
