Is Aston Martin’s 715bhp DBS Superleggera a Ferrari-beating super grand tourer, and worthy successor to the much-loved Vanquish? Road test editor Matt Saunders took to an Alpine pass to find out Subscribe now: smarturl.it/autocar

1700 kg (3750 pounds) Dry in other words close to 1900 kg (4200 pound) on road, WOW and they call that Superleggera??? What is Aston smoking. McLaren 720S is 400 kg (900 pounds) lighter.

You're confusing a super car with a big GT. This would be 10x better a place to be over a long road trip vs the McLaren and isn't really made to see the likes of a race track.

Who gives dry weights? Useless. If it requires fluid to move, you include it inthe weight

@sharonshyam6667 6 жыл бұрын

Blake Swan if you include the wet weight, then it's not supposedly a "superlight" car.

@moomoodeadcow 6 жыл бұрын

Because you are constantly using that fuel and the net weight + payload (yourself, passenger and cargo) the total amount of net weight is constantly changing and pointless to give a number. Also if you are serious about lap times you need to know exactly how much fuel you need for that session and on pump in that amount and a little more reserve. Often times race cars achieve better or even record breaking lap times nearing the end of the race. This is somewhat irrelevant but racing events have regulations regarding weight. Usually it is measured with dry weight + rider + gear.

Blake Swan u like pissin in ur Aston Martin ?

@mrm95 6 жыл бұрын

It's because there is no unified standard. Italian car makers give weight in complete dry no fluids at all. So when competing with them if you do the usual EU norm with 80% tank filled and 75kg driver and all other fluids, your car seems rather porky in comparison.

Good review. Perhaps AM will become a serious rival to Ferrari's V12's...I'm not sure they're quite there yet, but maybe soon. In fact, all the major marques are getting to be basically perfect (in the same way all major smart phones have become excellent), and it will become increasingly difficult to choose between them. Heritage, rarity and prestige will likely come to the fore (they are already at the fore, but track times, v-max, 0-60 and 1/4 miles also have broad appeal) . All this money apparently sloshing around in the world has allowed these car makers to excel, not least in using lots of carbon fibre for monocoques and panels, etc. It's a golden age.

Let me ask you this: Why would you put it out there by saying "Are we getting bored with Astons"?? Why should we be?? Every manufacturer brings out new cars/models, some even 2 or more in a year. Many manufactures have "family style" or from a similar "stable" of style. So why would you ask us if we are bored with Aston Martin. Maybe, and this is a real possibility, I and others are bored with you.

Apart from the new Vantage, Aston interiors are a big disappointment. They just don’t have the quality and class of a Bentley. The latest Continental GT interior is stunning! A DB11 looks like a Citroen by comparison and they’re both competing in the same price bracket! If I had the money I’d go for the Bentley, mainly because of that fab interior. While also being a good looking, well handling car too.

@FooFahFoeFum 5 жыл бұрын

I love the exterior appearance. YES YES ..... However, the interior looks very dated, too much plastic with a small 8" Mazda CX-5 looking monitor. .. They should add some/additional gauges, centrally positioned like Weisman and Bentley. The steering column looks too massive and plastic. They should put more magnesium parts under the hood/bonnet as it is stronger than steel and weighs 30% less than Aluminium. Titanium does not rust, so please a Titanium exhaust. Please, more Titanium fittings/ screws, washers, underneath the cabin and bonnet, because as of 2018 Aston Martin still has a reputation for rusting .

Disappointing review for a number of reasons. The sentiment was right but the execution was poor. A heavy, lazy super GT should not be badged “Super Light”. And I’m not sure how you can imply it’s the best of the bunch when the 812 Superfast (which actually lives up to its name rather than betray it) exists. £225k is a big price to pay too. I think I’d take a 911 plus an M5/E63 over this!
