Reviewer score 76%The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera measures in at 4,712mm long, 2,146mm wide (including mirrors) and 1,280mm tall. It is there or thereabouts the same size as a Ferrari 812 Superfast. Up front, there is ample head and legroom for the driver and a passenger to get comfortable. The rear seats are only really suitable for small children and even then a long-distance journey might prove uncomfortable.

Reviewer score 92%The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera shares everything that made the DB11 special, amplifying almost every aspect for the better. The V12 engine might not have the excitement of a Ferrari GTC4 Lusso, but otherwise it's phenomenal. You could argue that the more spacious, equally comfortable Ferrari is the better grand tourer, but the DBS is a wonderful machine nonetheless.
