Humans fantasize about many things. The idea of us emulating or embodying people that we admire is not a foreign concept. In fact, we are the amalgamation of all of our influences. Surround yourself with cool things so that you’re inspired/copy cool things. I mean, imagine yourself as a modern-day James Bond, a man in his thirties (if you’re not there think about the future version of yourself), sharp as a razor, effortlessly charming, and dressed to kill. You glide through life with confidence, owning every room you enter, moving through life like men want to be you and women want to sleep with you (whether you’re interested or not.) Whether you’re going to a meal or the casino or the Met Gala, picture yourself driving your Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, the sleek beast gleaming under the city lights. You arrive then immediately go around to open the door for your stunning date because you’re a gentleman. You open the passenger door, and the world slows. Out steps your date, stunning, elegant, magnetic. Heads turn. Not just because of her, but because of you. This isn’t fantasy. This is power. This is your ability to make things happen. It starts as a fantasy in your mind and in a few years, it will be you.

The Aston Martin DBS name carries a rich heritage that dates back to the late 1960s when the DBS replaced the DB6 as Aston Martin’s flagship grand tourer. The “DBS” stood for “David Brown Sports,” named after the company’s legendary owner, David Brown, who transformed Aston Martin into a symbol of luxury and performance. Fast forward to 2018, and the DBS Superleggera was born as the ultimate grand tourer, fusing advanced technology, brutal power, and British elegance. The name “Superleggera” itself means “super light” in Italian, a nod to the car’s lightweight construction and emphasis on performance.

Under the hood, the DBS Superleggera sports a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, delivering a staggering 715 horsepower. This goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, reaching a top speed of 211 mph. Despite its immense power, the car weighs approximately 3,880 pounds due to its carbon fiber structure. When the DBS Superleggera hit the market in 2018, it carried a price tag of around $316,300. Today, prices for well-maintained models hover between $300,000 and $350,000, with special editions and low-mileage cars commanding even higher values. Variations of the DBS include the coupe and the convertible “Volante,” which offers an open-air driving experience without compromising the car’s dynamic handling.

Culturally, the DBS Superleggera has become synonymous with the James Bond franchise, appearing in films like No Time to Die, where its blend of sleek design and raw power perfectly matches the spy’s suave sophistication. The car’s iconic status has cemented it as a modern classic, admired by car enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Production declined as Aston Martin phased in newer models, but the DBS Superleggera remains highly sought after in luxury markets, especially the US and UK.

The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is a masterpiece of design and engineering. It's not mass-produced or made to blend in. It's a rarity, crafted with precision, wrapped in elegance, and loaded with power that humbles lesser machines. It’s a car that turn’s heads. Fewer than 5,000 were made in total, this car is rare rolling piece of modern art, soaked in heritage and engineered to make time slow down when it flies past. To be frank, to drive an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is to embody the kind of man who’s earned greatness through discipline and sacrifice. You’ve evolved. You’re sharper, stronger, more intentional. You’ve carved your own path through chaos and come out clean on the other side. You’ve paid your dues in sweat and built a life worthy of envy. No matter where you go, when you arrive, and the lights hit the DBS just right, you’ll realize that this is what it feels like to live like Bond. Cool, composed, powerful, and unforgettable.
