08 Jul 2018|1,152 views
Two of the automotive industry's most evocative names, Aston Martin and Touring first came together in 1958 with the launch at the London Motor Show of the Aston Martin DB4. Wearing the trademark 'Superleggera' insignia along the bonnet, it featured a lightweight (tube-frame) body, had 240bhp from its six-cylinder 3.7-litre engine and was one of the most desirable sports cars of its day. The collaboration continued with the DB5 and DB6.
Fast forward to 2018 and Aston Martin and Touring have teamed up once again to create the superlative DBS Superleggera. Combining British Heritage and Engineering with Italian Coachbuilding has led to the creation of Aston Martin's new flagship model which replaces the esteemed Vanquish S. Naturally, the new car has epic performance courtesy of its 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 which produces 715bhp and 900Nm of torque allowing for a top speed of 340km/h and blistering acceleration that dispatches 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds.
The new car will be central to the Aston Martin Works display at this year's Salon Prive which takes place in the grounds of 'Britain's Greatest Palace', Blenheim Palace from 30th August to 1st September. Regarded as the U.K.'s most exclusive automotive event, it is uncrowded, relaxed and intimate and offers the perfect environment for visitors to get 'up close and personal' with the new DBS Superleggera.
