About the Aston Martin DBS

The Aston Martin DBS nameplate represents the pinnacle of the brand's grand touring range across three distinct eras, each defined by a flagship V8 or V12 engine. The original DBS (1967–1972) transitioned the brand from the curved DB6 era to a sharper, fastback design, initially utilizing a 4.0L inline-six before the long-awaited 5.3L V8 arrived in 1969. After a 35-year hiatus, the name returned for the DBS V12 (2008–2012), a carbon-fiber-clad flagship based on the DB9 but tuned to 380kW (510hp), famously featured in Casino Royale. The moniker was most recently revived for the DBS Superleggera (2018–2024) (later simply "DBS"), a "Brute in a Suit" powered by a 5.2L twin-turbo V12 producing a massive 533kW (715hp). In the 2026 Australian market, the DBS remains a high-status asset with a buyer pool of serious collectors and performance enthusiasts who value its position at the top of the Aston hierarchy. Desirability is particularly peaked for the rare 6-speed manual versions of the 2008–2012 generation and the final 770 Ultimate editions of the Superleggera. Current Australian market values range significantly: vintage 6-cylinder models typically fetch between $160,000 and $220,000 AUD, while the 2008–2012 V12 models sit between $180,000 and $260,000 AUD. The modern DBS Superleggera maintains a strong presence, with late-model examples and limited editions commanding between $480,000 and $720,000 AUD.
