Aston Martin DBS Performance Overview
Across 7 independently verified tests spanning 2008 to 2019, the Aston Martin DBS traces a two-stage performance arc defined by a front-engine gasoline grand-touring layout. The 2nd Gen (2008–2012) arrived with the naturally aspirated 5.9-liter AM11 V12 at 510 hp, and early results established the baseline quickly: the 2008 Coupe reached 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, followed by the 2009 Coupe at 4.2 seconds. Testing through the original run stayed tightly grouped, with the 2011 Coupe also posting 4.2 seconds and the 2012 Carbon Black Edition Coupe at 4.3 seconds.
After the nameplate returned for the 3rd Gen in 2018, the DBS moved to the twin-turbocharged AE31 5.2-liter V12, raising output to 715 hp and shifting the car into a quicker bracket. The 2019 Superleggera Coupe cut the 0-60 benchmark to 3.7 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds at 129.8 mph, the fastest figures recorded for the model. That leaves the current DBS, represented here by the 3rd Gen Superleggera, as the quickest version yet, while the full test set shows a consistent gasoline-only evolution from naturally aspirated V12 to twin-turbo V12.
