A DBS swansong was always going to be special, even had it remained basically the same. The Ultimate aims higher.
, the DBS is arguably the best looking of a very handsome bunch of recent Astons. Kitted out with a meaner, more chiselled front end, additional carbon and a chunkier diffuser, it’s properly arresting. Even in black, even in the rain. Perhaps the wheels are a tad fussy, but come on.
Despite gushing praise for the DBX, Aston doesn’t always get the credit for suspension tuning that it deserves, and the Ultimate shows off what it’s capable of fantastically well. Even wound up to its most aggressive Sport+ setting, the mode that’d presumably keep a lid on movements all the way up to 211mph, the DBS retains a level of compliance that somehow soaks up craggy roads without unduly disturbing those in the cabin.
This newfound eagerness is matched by the rear axle; the revised steering makes the DBS keener to get into a bend and, somewhat miraculously, the back encourages earlier application of the throttle to get you out of it as well. Course you still have to be mindful, because when it’s wet out it’ll wheelspin in fourth gear, but once again the enhanced sense of connection ought to give most drivers the faith to explore what is a beautifully honed chassis.
