  • 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

    Aston Martin has just unleashed upon the world the 715-horsepower DBS Superleggera, but it doesn't represent the end of the performance road for the new super GT. Just as we've seen with the automaker's other performance cars, the DBS Superleggera will eventually receive the AMR treatment. Not to be confused with the Aston Martin Racing motorsport department, AMR is Aston Martin's new performance sub-brand and usually designates the fastest version of an Aston Martin product line. There's also an AMR Pro label for track-focused cars. As for the eventual DBS Superleggera AMR, Australian...

    Twelve-cylinder engines are an endangered automotive species. Only a handful are left: Mercedes and Maybach share one, and so do BMW and Rolls-Royce. Ferrari has its holdout—and it’s impossible to leave out Bentley’s W-12, though its offbeat cylinder layout makes it an outlier...
