Welcome to the last of the old guard. You’ve now seen the new DB12, with its delectable-looking interior and strictly eight cylinders under the bonnet. That’s where Aston Martin is going. The £315,000 DBS 770 Ultimate is where it’s been.
On the face of it, a DBS with more power, Valkyrie-esque wheels and a big nostril in the carbon clamshell bonnet isn’t big news. But when you delve deep into the Ultimate, you discover the tweaks Aston has made to the steering and handling have turned this big bad old warhorse into the finest V12 GT the company has produced. Ever.
Top Gear magazine’s Ollie Kew has selflessly impaled himself on the Ultimate’s brutal carbon fibre seat bolsters to explain why. If this is the V12’s swan-song, what a way to go…

@Edgycoo Жыл бұрын

I know absolutely every reviewer points out the interior, mainly the centre bit and the screen. However, all ive seen of late from other manufacturers that are supposedly more "modern" is the heavy use of double screens. As someone who has had vehicles that rely on screens I must say they dont work, its clunky and not as good as a physical button in the slightest. Yes the stick on screen doesnt look good, but in no way would removing the centre console make it better.

11:36 I think that the question that Aston Martin is going to have to ask is this: Does the world still need a "Brute in a suit"? Maybe, maybe not.... I am curious at the answer that they will have because they will only get two shorts (as most) at that question. I don't know the answer to that because simply put, they want more. Putting out the SUV is a sign of that, and they have already begun to hint at some far off EV coupe... assuming they have that much runway. They got the looks, but what else?
