Aston Martin DBS Schaffhausen 2018 – new Aston Martin DBS

Aston Martin has unveiled a new flagship sports car, the Aston Martin DBS Schaffhausen, which replaced the Aston Martin Win model discontinued in 2017. The new Aston Martin DBS has received Schaffhausen in the name of the main console (a sign of the British company's successful collaboration with the coachbuilder Carrozzeria touring the Superleggera) and is a deeply modernized, more powerful and faster version of the Aston Martin DB11 coupe. In our review of the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera from 2018-2019 – photos and videos, prices and full specifications of the British supercar GT super class. Sales of the new Aston Martin DBS Schaffhausen, equipped with a 725-horsepower V12 twin-turbo 5.2 petrol engine, will start in the 3rd quarter of 2018 at a pricefrom 225,000 pounds in the UK, from 275,000 euros in Germany and from 305,000 dollars in America.

What is of greatest interest to motorists in supercars? Of course, engine power, dynamic and speed characteristics, and the appearance of the model, the quality of finishing materials and the level of equipment capabilities.

So, let's start our review with the technical specifications of the 2018-2019 Aston Martin DBS Schaffhausen.
New flagship Aston Martin DBS Superleggera with aluminum space frame and Aston Martin DB11 coupe chassis, but significantly upgraded. The DBS sports car received a lowered suspension with original springs and shock absorbers, of course, rear-wheel drive, complemented by a limited-slip differential, plerodomiana brakes with 6-piston calipers on the front wheels and 4-piston calipers on the rear wheels and 21-inch blackened rims with 5 double spokes wrapped in Pirelli rubber, size 265/35 ZR 21 front and 305/30 ZR 21 rear.

Under the hood of the British chic and expensive supercars Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is the same petrol engine as in the engine compartment for the Aston Martin DB11 5.2 liter bi-turbo V12, but with an increase to 725 horsepower and a monstrous maximum torque of 900 Nm. The automatic 8-speed transmission from ZF has also been upgraded.

However, improvements are not only seen in the technology of the new Aston Martin. The bodywork of the new Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is very different from that of the DB11 and features the original hood and bumpers, a huge grille mouth and large side air intakes, vented front fenders, narrow LED taillights, a parainformation spoiler and a pair of twin exhaust units due to the use of exterior wall panels curb weight of carbon fiber model DBS 72 kg less than the donor model. By the way, the Aston Martin DBS Schaffhausen weighs 1698 kg, and the Aston Martin DB11 coupe weighs 1770 kg.

On top of all the improvements listed above, the engineers messed up the aerodynamics by delivering 180kg of downforce when the car is running at top speed in parallel, providing better brake and engine cooling.
In the end, a more powerful engine in the company with 8 ZF automatic transmissions, improved aerodynamics, reduced weight, lowered suspension and increased downforce provide Aston Martin DBS with excellent speed, Superleggera and dynamic performance. The supercar can accelerate to a top speed of 340 km / h. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h is 3.4 seconds, and from 0 to 160 km / h in 6.4 seconds. Acceleration time from 80 km / h to 160 km in 4 gears is performed in just 4.2 seconds.

The dynamics of the Aston Martin DBS Schaffhausen are impressive, but alas, the British sports car cannot compete with the Italian Ferrari of the ultra-fast 812 coupe (6.5 V12 engine (800 hp, 718 Nm)) firing the car to the first “hundred” in 2.9 seconds.

In conclusion, I would like to say a few words about the elegant interior and equipment at the Aston Martin DBS Schaffhausen. The flagship Aston Martin received a slightly different interior than the DB11 coupe. In the presence of the original steering wheel, dashboard, seats and, of course, trim. Upholstery, by default leather trim door cards combined (leather, wood, aluminium). The cabin is elegant and shows the highest level of premium.

The new DBS standard is equipped with a digital instrument panel with a 12-inch multifunction display, an 8-inch color screen multimedia system (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with MirrorLink, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi internet, navigation, surround view system), Aston Martin audio system audio system, parking sensors, distance display and parking assistance, driver and front passenger seats, electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated, dual-zone automatic climate control.

There are two options for audio systems – Aston Martin's 700-watt premium audio system or Bang & Olufsen's 1000-watt audio system, as well as a huge selection of leather and woods.
