I was a big fan of my Aston Martin Vanquish, so what about the new DBS Superleggera, should it have a spot in the garage? What about waiting for the Volante in future? Let's find out what it is like!
Some trivia here. The DB that you see on Aston Martins stands for "David Brown" a manufacturer in the UK that made heavy equipment components and gearboxes. DB purchased Aston Martin, Lagonda and coachbuilder Tickford in the 1950s for a combined total of less than $100,000. They got into financial difficulty and in 1972 sold Aston Martin for a nominal $200. (not a typo, actually sold it for about $200). I did a bit of research on David Brown when my Father purchased a David Brown tractor recently and wanted to know more about it(he collects old tractors and equipment). David Brown, Ltd, is still in business in the UK.
So weird seeing the Dunsfold track, knowing the names of the straights and curves, and not seeing Jeremy, James, and Richard. Oh well, looking forward to the next season of The Grand Tour!
the best looking aston martin out there at the moment. i like how the new styling looked for that vanqish from the geneva motor show but man this car is just beautiful! looking better than most ferraris man
I always had a thing for Aston Martin cars, especially the sound combined with the looks; not over the top and certainly not boring. I´d buy it for sure
Nice car but a Ferrari 812 is a better choice to own. Both this car and the superfast cover the same territory. The 812 seems to do everything this car does but is a bit more special
@@hung141110 yes to me it has as better interior, more power , even a better sound, handles better, and the looks have grown on me. Both fast gt cars the superfast costs more. Has better tech. Too. I would take it over this. The 812 will appreciate better ferraris tend too
Was thoroughly enjoying the power plant music, but now cannot unsee the infotainment screen once mentioned. I'd love to hear the engineering, cost control, interior design and safety team discussions surrounding those screens.
What's that line down the centre of the screen from the forward facing camera? I hope that's not the windscreen because I wouldn't accept delivery if it looked like that.
Yes yes yes! I love that car (my only wishes would be that the hood vents had louvres instead of mesh and its ass wouldn't have this monobrow). Though... the car I love the most is the Vanquish S Volante... just that dash/interior was starting to feel rather outdated (same issue I have with the Maseratis). I can only imagine a DBS Volante would be the absolute dream! Ticks all the boxes, no? V12, rumble, 2+2, convertible, classy yet sporty, grand tourer... just the best. I love this much more than the DB11 and new Vantage. It's forward thinking, designing and engineering, but still very Aston Martin.
Hi! Shmee, I think this Aston is stunning to look at and it sounds superb, I would have one of these over a Ferrari any day. Another car to add to the shmee garage?. Darren
Greetings Tim! This beast is beautiful, and we know you love Aston. Do what makes you happy, we all know the content is great no matter what’s in your garage. So I just have a question. Which car if any might need to go to make room for the new monster?
I am only 4 minutes into this video and my answer is a most definite yes! It is a very good looking car and wow, sounds epic! I love the spec of the car you are testing, this is a very Shmee car and Aston doing it for Britain.
I heard twin turbo V12 and had mixed emotions. I always like the fact Aston kept it N/A but then thought they need to keep up with everyone else. It sounds amazing none the less! At 1700kg's it's no lightweight.
Your at the Home of Top Gear, Yes !!!!! I wonder if you got to drive to the Chicago turn an the famous Hammer head corner too Shmee. Yes you should buy one in that blue color you are getting on your McLaren Senna. Awesome review Shmee, Cheers !!!!!!
Absolutely no question, you should get one. This car is one of my absolute favourite Aston's so far, it's "Aston"-ishing design is something you don't see very often. The sound is absolutely amazing and probably one of the best sounding V12 Engines of all time. If the garage still supports it you should absolutely go for it. Also please do the 812 Superfast and DBS Superleggera Comparison, would love to see that! I have an Aston Dealership really close nearby so when I get the chance to I'll definetely hop in one and take it for a spin if they let me. And if not I'm just gonna stare at it for an hour. Greetings from Germany!
Reasons why you should buy it: 1. It's an Aston That's about it really. Just because Astons are the best. And this is the best Aston. So you getting the very best car.
Shmee... DO IT! I've designed one 3 times on the Aston Martin website wishing I could get one myself. You have the ability to actually purchase one, its only one life to live, you obviously enjoy the car so again I say DO IT! lol. Peace from Florida.
Hope you go to the dealer and they have one to your. Wonderful, ride believe it is a lot nicer than a lot of other super cars. I could watch videos many times over.
The DBS superlegerra is truly a great car and with a V12 rarely seen in these days it surely is enticing. This is the perfect gran tourer as it ticks all the boxes. Should be a perfect FF replacement as the gran tourer and could take it's role except the four seats which would be missed. Amazing video Shmee. Shquad!!!
Alright Tim. You’ve talked a lot about possibly in the future getting a GTC4 Lusso. Then the 812 Superfast came out. Then this came out. Of the three which would you have for a Super GT?
#amgshquad congrats ben on the gt and shmee the podcast with drivetribe was aboslutely fascinating loved it many of my questions were answered which I wanted to ask you for a while. I am staggered by your determination you are the person who got me into cars 3 years ago and today my only passion is for cars I love every aspect of them thank you for introducing me to the world of cars.Your videos makes me cherish life and release all stress.
Please buy one. It's a gorgeous car and it would be the perfect fit for your garage in either the UK or Germany It's amazing how the partnership with Mercedes is going to change when the Valkyrie takes on the one
Yes. Tim please DO add the DBS Superleggera to your garage and for future content. I love Aston's, love your GT8 and your Vanquish was epic! This is the sort of content I'm looking for on TH-cam i.e. Special cars, that I can't yet afford (not Ford Focuses! sorry!)
Oh dear god, YES!!!! Please buy one as you can go for double trouble back to back alongside the GT8. Exceptional piece of engineering and a cacophany of engine banging.
Tim I’m not sure about all these new cars now, so much tech it’s getting boring and they seem designed to keep garages rich, especially on servicing, management lights etc. I drive an Audi R8 V10 and also a Lamborghini Murcielago, BUT I still think about my past fun cars like the TVR Tuscan S and the Cerbera 4.5 lightweight I used to own, stripped out, fast simple cars! They would still achieve fantastic 0-60 smoke burning fun without all the modern day computer crap!
I personally don’t think that cars in the same league as an 812 Superfast. The only thing that makes it it’s nearest competitor is the V12, I think it’s competitors are actually more like the Bentley Continental, AMG GTS class of cars. I think comparing that to the 812, Aston are doing themselves a disservice.
Anyone else notice when he lifted the hood the headlights are exactly like the DB11. This makes if feel they lazily put a Zagato body kit over a DB11 and not to mention the near identical interior. For the price premium you should get something more special.
One of these, would definitely go into the Double Garage, of my dream home, should I ever win Big on the Lottery. But probably in the Blue, with the two tone Blue interior ( personal choice), Keep up the Great work Tim.
Please get one they are so awesome and correctly speced they can look insane especially the interior and it has an insane v12 with a lot of power!!!!!! The DBS Superleggera is 100% my favorite car right now!
Thanks: Beautifully informative: If you can afford the depreciation and you can’t wait for the DBS Volante, go ahead - but please do drive it in London traffic and through width-restrictions to see how terrifyingly constricting the extra width is likely be, and then let us know? You will have already appreciated too just how hard it is to work out where (on this substantial well dressed brute) the bonnet ends and the corners are situated.
I agree, the size of modern cars with some of the width limits in central London is fairly horrific; but to be honest to go around town I normally take one of my Focus RS' or an Uber xD
I was a big fan of my Aston Martin Vanquish, so what about the new DBS Superleggera, should it have a spot in the garage? What about waiting for the Volante in future? Let's find out what it is like!
Buy it it's the best looking Aston right now. Perfect balance between sportiness and elegance
What a great addition to the garage that would be. Buy!
Buy Bugatti Chiron
Buy it its a awesome looking car!
Buy it!!!!!!
I actually prefer this to the 812 Suoerfast
Thanks for coming down and spending the day with us. Hope to do something with you again soon!
Simply put: YESS PLEASE BUY ONE absolutely gorgeous piece of machinary
Best looking Aston ever... so yes! Do it!
I always underrated aston martin but this look daaaaamn
It is a really, really, really good looking car

It's a good car, but i would get the 812sf (used) instead this completely brand new. What do you think?
Jeibizz 00 any single day i would take the 812 over this Aston.
The Aston is great but 812 is way way... better car and more beautiful!!!
The Aston is great but 812 is way way... better car and more beautiful!!!
100% correct on that
Ferrari is mainstream and dull (my opinion)
So weird seeing the Dunsfold track, knowing the names of the straights and curves, and not seeing Jeremy, James, and Richard. Oh well, looking forward to the next season of The Grand Tour!
exterior looks beautiful, interior looks 10 years old
Yes buy one but not a new one. Get one 18 months old with low mileage and save a Fortune.
Probably a very, very wise approach to it
This car was new in 2018
the best looking aston martin out there at the moment. i like how the new styling looked for that vanqish from the geneva motor show but man this car is just beautiful! looking better than most ferraris man
I always had a thing for Aston Martin cars, especially the sound combined with the looks; not over the top and certainly not boring. I´d buy it for sure
The DBS suits you so well Tim! You look really good in one. I think you should purchase one when you can
If i do a hyper red colors what should i go for y-spoke tint black blonde or white? I think it for many days and i will buy it soon can someone give me some advice.
Not only it looks great, but the sound is gorgeous!
I swear Aston Martin may not have the best performing cars, but wow do they make some BEAUTIFUL cars. Keep on killing it guys!
Hey, Tim!! Keep up the amazing work mate! :) The DBS Superleggera would make an amazing edition to the collection! it is absolutely stunning. #Shquad
Thanks for the support
Lucky enough to have attended the launch of this... awesome car!!
Nice car but a Ferrari 812 is a better choice to own. Both this car and the superfast cover the same territory. The 812 seems to do everything this car does but is a bit more special
They really do, and I tell you what, the 812 Superfast is an incredible car
812 over this!
@@hung141110 yes to me it has as better interior, more power , even a better sound, handles better, and the looks have grown on me. Both fast gt cars the superfast costs more. Has better tech. Too. I would take it over this. The 812 will appreciate better ferraris tend too
The 812 depreciation curve has to be a bit less harsh of a ride, than the vanquish
Ferrari is dull
Was thoroughly enjoying the power plant music, but now cannot unsee the infotainment screen once mentioned. I'd love to hear the engineering, cost control, interior design and safety team discussions surrounding those screens.
I agree with you about the dark red, and it would be understated yet aggressive
Please dont make it blue and orange!!!
Jk its your car do whatever you want :)
Haha don't worry, that colour scheme wouldn't fit this car at all
llSpeedDemonll Something like the Porsche Sapphire Blue would be awesome
british green and black
The sound alone makes it an amazing buy. That’s the beauty of Aston Martins
What's that line down the centre of the screen from the forward facing camera? I hope that's not the windscreen because I wouldn't accept delivery if it looked like that.
Yes yes yes! I love that car (my only wishes would be that the hood vents had louvres instead of mesh and its ass wouldn't have this monobrow).

I love this much more than the DB11 and new Vantage. It's forward thinking, designing and engineering, but still very Aston Martin.
Of course you should.
After all, an Aston Martin is a Ferrari without boxing gloves...but brass knuckles instead.
Super GTs have always been my fav class of vehicle...DBS is beautiful but my dream car...812 all day.
you should buy another Focus RS
CarlosAvila good one
CarlosAvila yes maybe a boring edition
Early
You shoud defiantly buy it congrats on all your channel and cars
Hi! Shmee, I think this Aston is stunning to look at and it sounds superb, I would have one of these over a Ferrari any day. Another car to add to the shmee garage?. Darren
Nothing like a great hotel breakfast and a new Shmee upload.
Always a pleasure sir.
Enjoy from wherever in the world you are!

Tim, pull some strings and get yourself a Zagato shooting brake allocation :)
YES YOU SHOULD !! This is one of the most beautiful cars Aston made.
You're at the top gear track right? Great vid and nice car ;)
Get one!
Its got the looks and the power, what else do you need?
Just go and get one Tim, always fascinated with your content. Keep up the work CHEERS! =D
This is DEFINITELY the Top Gear test track
Der
Your at the Home of Top Gear, Yes !!!!! I wonder if you got to drive to the Chicago turn an the famous Hammer head corner too Shmee. Yes you should buy one in that blue color you are getting on your McLaren Senna. Awesome review Shmee, Cheers !!!!!!

Greetings from Germany!
I'd love to try an 812 and DBS back to back
Yes get it because it’s brilliant and great looking...but living in rainy Britain would a convertible dbs, which would be heavier too, make sense?
You NEED this car! I think it’ll be a good replacement for the AMG GTR!!
Reasons why you should buy it:
1. It's an Aston
That's about it really. Just because Astons are the best. And this is the best Aston. So you getting the very best car.
What a stunning piece of machinery 😍
Shmee... DO IT! I've designed one 3 times on the Aston Martin website wishing I could get one myself. You have the ability to actually purchase one, its only one life to live, you obviously enjoy the car so again I say DO IT! lol. Peace from Florida.
Hope you go to the dealer and they have one to your. Wonderful, ride believe it is a lot nicer than a lot of other super cars. I could watch videos many times over.
I was asking myself the same question but I would have to go without heating this Winter, got to use those £50 notes to stoke the fire 😄
This is one of the best looking Astons, dare I say it, ever. Absolutely stunning.
Excellent video as aways.. Please do a video on the new evoque
I think you should, get a manual 2010 DBS.
Shmee is on fire these days. The best carvlogger for sure 🔥 Respect from India
The DBS superlegerra is truly a great car and with a V12 rarely seen in these days it surely is enticing. This is the perfect gran tourer as it ticks all the boxes. Should be a perfect FF replacement as the gran tourer and could take it's role except the four seats which would be missed. Amazing video Shmee. Shquad!!!
I mean we need to be serious about those 4 seats, you aren't getting an adult back there
@@Shmee150 Okay, so the DBS superleggera or the 812 superfast? Maybe a comparison video also.
Definitely! With a 'Road to' as well, if you can :)
Alright Tim. You’ve talked a lot about possibly in the future getting a GTC4 Lusso. Then the 812 Superfast came out. Then this came out. Of the three which would you have for a Super GT?
Words cant explain how beautiful this car is
#amgshquad congrats ben on the gt and shmee the podcast with drivetribe was aboslutely fascinating loved it many of my questions were answered which I wanted to ask you for a while.

Thanks for the first comment and your continued support, I really appreciate it!
Again a very good review. Is there a new SHMEE150 book due ?
No plans but actually a few people have mentioned it recently!
Hi Tim! I've been waiting for this! Thank you! 😊
Please buy one. It's a gorgeous car and it would be the perfect fit for your garage in either the UK or Germany
It's amazing how the partnership with Mercedes is going to change when the Valkyrie takes on the one
Yes. Tim please DO add the DBS Superleggera to your garage and for future content. I love Aston's, love your GT8 and your Vanquish was epic! This is the sort of content I'm looking for on TH-cam i.e. Special cars, that I can't yet afford (not Ford Focuses! sorry!)
Understand and appreciate it, I like a variety of cars but can certainly relate to what you mean
Yes iT is absolutely awesome iT looks Amazing and the ultimate GT
Oh dear god, YES!!!! Please buy one as you can go for double trouble back to back alongside the GT8. Exceptional piece of engineering and a cacophany of engine banging.

What is that line? For example at 07:12
I personally don’t think that cars in the same league as an 812 Superfast. The only thing that makes it it’s nearest competitor is the V12, I think it’s competitors are actually more like the Bentley Continental, AMG GTS class of cars.

Who do the 812 compete with then..?
Did you read the rest of the comment....... obviously not cuz it states it.

Yes.
Yes, get one. But wait for the Volante. Make lots of videos with it!
yes! v12 music + gt comfort = win for me hehe
Tim as a car addict you absolutely HAVE TO get this AND an amg gtr pro
Tim do you still see yourself adding a V12 GTC 4 Lusso to your garage anytime soon?
The Aston Martin DBS is piece of Art.....So beautiful
That interview was really cool seen another side of you that we don't usually see
One of these, would definitely go into the Double Garage, of my dream home, should I ever win Big on the Lottery. But probably in the Blue, with the two tone Blue interior ( personal choice), Keep up the Great work Tim.
You should wait for the Volante! They're already testing with it.
Yes indeed, spy shots a plenty out there
There's gonna be a Volante ? These names sound fancy and all but not when u know Spanish.. it literally translates to "Steering wheel"..
So will this car tend to slip more than the other sports cars in the rain?
Wow that car is beautiful menacing and what a noise definitely get one but possibly get the volante that will be amazing 😉
Such a cool thing! When is the GT arriving?
I believe about two weeks but I'll confirm very soon when I have an estimated date from Ford
The cutest car reviewer with the cutest *Car* from Egypt 😄🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
I could use one of these to drive to my local casino to play baccarat. Such indulgence.
Is this like the top of the line Am or?
Simply one of the best designed Aston's out there...however I would choose the 812 Superfast over it.
Yes you should definitely get one. It is such a gorgeous car!
I have a question how can you buy the cars that you have in your garage? Do you have a company?
Please get one they are so awesome and correctly speced they can look insane especially the interior and it has an insane v12 with a lot of power!!!!!! The DBS Superleggera is 100% my favorite car right now!
How do get to make your own color from MSO?
Love it! Buy it! And mod it the heck out! Would love to see you do a meet n race vid with supercarblondie
Yes you should buy Aston Martin Superleggera
How does it compare to the new Conti GT?
YES! Then go all 'Jon Olsson' on it! :D would it replace the merc as a gt?
That would be amazing!
I saw the abs superleggera doing hot laps at the usa
gp and it looked incredible and sounded incredible

Yes, but I think you should get the Volante version when that comes out!!!
Hi Tim if a Volante version comes in the future then you should go for it. This is my favourite Aston Martin uptil now
Shmee, which looks better, DB9 or DB11? DB9 is best looking Aston imo
