The 2020 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante (which means convertible in Aston) may suffer a couple hundred pounds and two tenths of a second on the way to sixty, compared to its fixed-roof counterpart. But that certainly doesn't make it slow. In fact, with a top speed of 211 MPH with the top down, it's the fastest convertible Aston Martin ever, and really nails the traditional grand touring formula.
Aston Martin provided the vehicle, insurance and a tank of fuel for this review.

I would happily stop by my mechanic's shop (before he leaves to go cruise on the boat I bought him) every day to see my beautiful car sitting on the lift if I owned this.
Calling this car beautiful is an understatement lol. I can just sit this in my garage and look at it all day long.

It is not that heavy, just around 150kg heavier than a 911 992 for the Coupé (dry weights). And superleggera is also a construction method....but still, I think they should have just called it dbs volante. Dbs superleggera volante is such a silly long name, and I don't like the superleggera badging....

Thank you! 150kg is 10% of a rather light car, 10% more or less is always a huge amount
The newest DBS SuperLeggera is in my opinion the most beautiful new car you can buy today. I think it’s gorgeous and after seeing a few in person, it somehow looks even better in person. My only gripe with it is the old fashioned torque converter automatic. I know that the car is supposed to be more of a grand tourer than a strict track weapon, but I think they should have gone with a DCT. But at the same time, what do I know. I drive a Miata so my opinions don’t really matter
IT IS BEAUTIFUL. WOW! THE COLOR AND EVERYTHING. BEAUTIFUL.

Great review style! Thank you very much for the experience.
I was waiting for this video, Sunday morning, with my coffee.
Great video, I love the sound of the engine/exhaust. By the way, Camera rattle sound did not come thru. I'm sure if I hooked up my phone to my stereo speakers I would hear it, but nothing that creates a problem for the viewer. I've noticed that most of the time when a KZreadr apologises for noise, I only notice it due to them having pointed it out. By the way your new Car Park is simply out of this world! I've kept up with the build, and its impressive on so many levels!
Finally so happy to see u review it

I always loved when Aston Martin would announce their lightest model ever, everything carbon fiber, titanium exhaust, light weight wheels and it would still be 1000 pounds heavier than the competition 😂😂

Well, the competition for this car would be other GT cars. This isn't a super car. Something like the Continental GT is 1000lbs more. The Mercedes GT-Class is 4400lbs.

Jayden Hippolyte Er... no. Can’t be a GT car and a super car. That’s like a coupe also being a sedan at the same time. A GT car puts comfort and luxury in front of performance. A GT car can still have gobs of power. And while it technically has more power than many super cars, it cannot hang with them on a track.

Can you do a review on a modified Audi RS3 running pump gas ? That would be great, unitronic tuned or an IMS kit would be ideal. Thanks !
The front windows one touch up/down probably still use european Ford window controller. That will require "calibration" by hand every now and then like once or twice in a year. I don't know why it does that, but it has been in Fords quite some while. Most cars only require that when the battery is removed.
The window issue sounds like the windows weren't reset after a battery disconnect.

The issue with the onetouch up is probably that the window's rubbing slightly against the weatherproofing and interpreting that as someone's finger getting smashed.
easily my first purchase if i win big money
They called it the "superleggera" because Ferrari called the 812 "superfast". Just Aston Martin being cheeky
"the top isn't a structural memmmbberrrrrrrrr XD"
For a turbo, it sounds sweet but it's a hefty bit of kit and a more robust transmission really wouldn't have gone amiss. It kinda sucks that all that torque can't be fully realised until after 3rd gear. Still, this has to be the Aston to go for.. It's almost as good as the coupé, performance wise and it's unbeaten for looks as a convertible. Looks 10/10 Sounds 7.9/10 Performance 7.8/10

Hi Dr Nick!

Window issue could have been the pinch protection. Maybe you reset it with the switch before you demonstrated, either way it worked
@thesmokingtire Matt my mercedes does that window thing when going over certain road imperfections lol, probably another mercedes engineering “quirk” that made it to the DBS
How does it compare to the M8 you driven?

The coupe I was able to get a lease at less than 1% MSRP monthly including taxes with 0 down. If you are in the market and like the coupe they have large discounts like all Astons do currently.

Hey Mat, since when do you speak of yourself in the 3rd person? =)
The C8 DCT is not an American transmission, its European: its fully developed in Tremec BELGIUM, but it's produced in the US ofc
The door windows torque sensors ( probably a Mercedes component :) ) probably need calibration. I've had the same issue in my C class, only on hot days it would drop down 10 cm"s. Colder days, no issues. Very annoying if you live in Belgium with like 1 month of nice weather :)

just looks too much like the jag to me but the front end is baller
Is rear seat space enough for people with legs?
Man that car looks nasty.

The video makes it sound quieter than it is because when I film with the top down, I wear a lavalier microphone, whereas when I film with coupes i use a microphone on the window.
You just need to normalize the window. If they have anything to do with MB you raise the window by pulling up half way (don't engage one touch) when it gets to the top, let go then hold the up button again and count to 5. Do the same thing going down. Voila
But is it as good as a ND MX-5 ?
Does it sound like an M240i in real life as well or does it just come across like that on video? Probably would take a last gen Vanquish over it
