Aston Martin introduced the final DBS model earlier this year with a V12 engine generating 770 horsepower. Now, they have unveiled the DBS 770 Ultimate Volante convertible, which uses the same 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, producing 770 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque.
Both cars have identical technical specifications, but the convertible model is 0.2 seconds slower in accelerating to 100 km/h due to its open-top design. The coupe takes 3.4 seconds to complete the exercise, while the convertible does it in 3.6 seconds. The maximum speed for both models is 340 km/h.
The car comes with an 8-speed ZF transmission and adaptive suspension. It also features a mechanical limited-slip differential with increased friction mounted on the rear axle, and carbon-ceramic brake discs tasked with controlling the 21-inch wheels. A similar brake system can be found on the Valkyrie hypercar and the Victor coupe.
The exterior is custom-painted a flaming mother-of-pearl/orange color, the interior is upholstered in black BRABUS leather and Alcantara with orange seams, and it has lots of power under the hood: BRABUS presents the limited-edition special model BRABUS ULTIMATE 112 at the Frankfurt International Auto Show IAA 2007. The ULTIMATE 112 is based on the smart fortwo and is a true city sports car. And as such it represents a unique combination of extravagant equipment, sporty performance and agile handling.
