- The new Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate is the most powerful regular production car Aston has ever produced. It's also the last of the current generation of Aston DBS models and Aston reckons it's the best handling DBS ever created too. Let's find out if that's true..

The tires are "silly wide, but not daft wide..."
Harry's descriptions are the best. 🙂
Voluptuously thick, but not ludicrously chodeish
Those wheels are ugly, despite the rest of the car. Sad!
Impressed by how good it sounds as a modern turbo engine. Don't remember previous iterations sounding this good.
Heh. Check out his grandson in the Volante(?)
Great. Grammar. Poor yours is.
the on in Casino Royal sounded similar
All the Aston V12's sound epic. The previous Generations had the 5.9 litre naturally aspirated engines not this Mercedes derived engine and they sounded stunning.
@@user-qq2mo1ek2r Actually the 5.2 is a purely Aston Martin engine, not Merc derived.
What an insane sounding car, holy moly
The sound of that TT V12 is very similar to B58 of bmw.
As I explained to my wife last night, Harry’s Garage keeps me abreast of what cars we should have were we fortunate enough to be able to afford them.
I may never have the opportunity to drive them, but I can enjoy Harry’s pleasure and joy vicariously.
The Austin Allegro-style steering wheel adds a touch of class.
😅😅
It's Aston Allegro now!!
@@Nemoticon Brilliant 😂😂
All aggro Austin Allegro, a legend in British motoring folk lore.
@@Colin623 To be fair, Ferrari have done it too with the likes of the Enzo and LaFerrari.
As I've gotten older I've really gravitated towards the big, high horsepower, grand touring cars. This Aston Martin is awesome!
Bentley conty gt😢
I’m finding I’m drawn to smaller lighter vehicles. More fun.
Me too. It's funny how that works.
@Bernie Sanders uncalled for
Welcome to the party pal.
Harry, during a visit to the factory the question was asked ‘why the doors swing upward on opening’ on all of their models. The explanation was that most vehicles are sold in North America. Over there, the kerb edges are considerably higher than European, so to prevent the door edge whacking the kerb, they are designed to swing upwards and clear the edge - clever! 👍
I cannot imagine parking this car on the street anywhere in the US, let alone parallel parked against a kerb with some idiot in front and behind. I would in fact advise against it. I feel like the upswing is more of an ergonomic thing. It allows you to get into the car with a little wider opening without opening the door as far.
@@NarcFreedom you’ve never been to Beverley Hills then if you think these kinds of cars aren’t parked on the street. When I was there they had Veyrons parked outside the shops. The kerb explanation is perfectly valid as imagine opening this length of door onto the footpath if it had traditional hinges - would be impossible to not damage the underside of the door.
@@NarcFreedom well I take your point but that’s what the supervisor explained. You have to appreciate that many Aston owners who buy them new use the cars as daily drivers - my son does.
@@mikem2652 Literally everyone knows that.
@@matthewp9015 let me guess the veyron was yellow and black?
You're right about the dated interior, the Bentley Conti is a real benchmark, awesome bit of kit tho.
Correct - there is no comparison between these two cars. Bentley just oozes class….
Bentley offers the best blend of classic luxury and technology
It is also incredibly dull, black with some more black bits and a black headliner. It certainly doesn't look special in any way.
Why would they care to update an interior on a car going out of production
Yes! If Bentley did the interior this car would be wins all-round
That E46 M3 6:28 caught my eye. What a beautiful car!
Beemers aren't beautiful.
You've been hypnotised by the blue propeller.
@@tumslucks9781 the old bmws are quite nice. The new ones i tend to agree arent so much
As somebody who will never afford an aston martin, i applaud the money spent on the bodywork and wheels.
I get to appreciate its wonderful looks without spending a penny or having to sit in it😊
Never say never!
That’s me I’m always window shopping for stuff I’ll never own, I have always had caviar taste but a hotdog budget 😂
The wheels will be a nightmare to clean, but I guess if you can buy the car you'll have staff to clean them!
@@stevemawer848 my first thought also, would take longer to clean the wheels than the body for Christ's sake 😂 beautiful car tho!
You can get a used AM Vantage for as much as a new BMW 3 series, so it's not that unaffordable. It's the upkeep for major servicing ($10k clutch anyone?) that can break you though. 😵💫
I think ( just a first impression) the only drawback of this gen dbs is the center console.
It it’s a 15yr old Mercedes screen
@@hamzaesat4085 And 15 year old Mercedes electronics.
Nope.
Its price.
width, vision out, auto box, silly interior, price
Let’s not even mention depreciation…
That lift off burble is just phenomenal
Tyrrell's Classic Workshop, Harry's farm AND Harry's Garage. What a great Monday morning it has been. I cannot imagine driving such a car. I shudder to think what a service is going to cost with that engine pushed way back. But it does sound yum. Thanks again Harry.
Always a good day when harry posts
I've only recently found about the harry's garage format and I love it dearly.
I've noticed that whenever there's a somewhat sporty car passing by the camera angle change for the wheel view. That's make love this channel even more
This car is flat out gorgeous! I love the shots you are capturing of it too! Great work!!
I must have watched 40 of Harry's vids and NEVER seen him take a dump on any aspect of any car like he crushes that center console.
Great content big H as always. I’ve been watching your videos for months and always squirmed at the giant pothole at Eau Rouge. I was lucky enough to be passing by yesterday to sample Burford, a ‘squirt up the hill’, the ‘bumpy bit of road’ and Eau Rouge, glad it’s now been filled in! What a cracking road that is 👍
Great and down to earth review as always! And two videos in one day! Woohoo!🎉
Great to be here early for another great video.
Awesome review of beautiful machine! Cheers Harry!
This was such an awesome review of an equally awesome car so much so I've dropped a like and definitely subbed keep the great content coming!!!
Absolutely love it... First time I've really had a new Aston on my bucket list.
Harry, @8.25, that's a nice E46 in the background. Still the best 3 series ever, in my opinion.
Fabulous car and very enjoyable review Harry. Next time you have one of these you may find it simpler when coming out of manual mode back to Auto to simply pull the + (upchange RH paddle) and hold for a few seconds and it will automatically drop back into auto mode. No need to press the D button on the centre console. Similarly, to engage neutral when sitting stationary for a while, pull back both paddles simultaneously and hold for a moment and it will drop from manual/drive into neutral.
I know the hill Harry blasts up. It really isn’t the same in my 2013 Volvo 👍
I know it too and all of his route as I'm about 2 miles away, and I try my best in my 120d, but you're right, not quite the same. 😁
where abouts is it?
🤣🤣🤣
@@optimusprimevil1646 Fulbrook, Burford.
I certainly hope that Santa brings me one for Christmas. I have been a good boy, lately.
Beautiful Car! as always really enjoyed this video this car is definitely on the dream list! :)
Great review as always
That is a very fine specimen of a car 🤩 Great informative review as always too 😁
Fantastic content.
Awesome Sunday evening , Harry's garage and
Harry's Farm
This is a gorgeous car. Switch off the screen like Harry does and it’s perfect.
I've been getting used to the most recent Aston Styling, but this one just looks awesome off the bat.
Looks sweet apart from those fussy wheels, soon fixed.
Thanks Harry it is always so great to get you views on a car. I think you are right about what it sets it as a car that is so different from a Ferrari or a Bentley. Astons will always feel better, for some reason. Thank you so much :)
Thanks for your video, what a sound, and very good looking car.
Great review and objective. I really love my DBS and just enjoying a plan B after the Imola GP was cancelled. 5 days driving through Italy and France really proved the GT capability. Relaxed fast and comfortable to drive the car seems to attract positive attention that my 911 didn’t and the engine is just a gem especially out of a toll plaza. Av mpg of 24 and an average speed of 74 mph so very capable as the touring car that I hoped it would be. Not sure the 770 gives you that much more but the styling and handling sound very appealing. I get a rush each time I start the engine and just love my time behind the wheel. All in all despite the size I love my car.
An avg of 74mph is a generous pace over distance... good work!
@@michaeltee9351 Thanks. It would not be possible in the UK - just think M6 whereas European motorways are efficient and with my BipnGo the toll booths don’t slow you down. I just hope they introduce an upgrade kit for the DBS to capture the gearbox mapping and maybe sharpen up the front end but it is a “nice to have” not a need to have.
@@markhuntley6756 I've done it myself in the not too distant past in the UK, but it was NYD and the roads were clear.
Nice review Harry. Astons tend to age very well and this car is no exception. Would agree with you, the centre console on a car costing this much should not look like a 40k Mercedes of a few generations back. Thankfully the new DB12 has rectified this but its taken Aston too long to sort this out.
This is one of the best looking cars in production IMO. It looks incredible and I absolutely love the wheels. The interior might be ‘dated’ in some respects but I think I could live with it quite happily…!
The interior might look a bit dated but I will bet that it will age much better than cars that uses screens only.
@@electrikoptik defo, those screen interior look bloody awful when compared to a proper dashboard with dials, gauges and switches. Just sticking a crappy tablet in the middle of the dash just looks what it is, lazy and cheap!
You like the wheels? You're not the real Patrick Bateman, I can tell.
@@fomora12 not a fan of new Ferrari’s. Just not my image tbh. Happily drive anything older, but a brand new Ferrari is never a good look IMO.
@@BleedForTheWorld wheels are great
Just looks menacing in that colour with those wheels. Love it.
Harry, the colour of that paint is my absolute favorite. That's what midnight blue is to me.
finally not a bike video amazing car and amazing video thanks
Stunning to look at , fantastic soundtrack, with up to date Technology, she would be spot on , another great review.
The wheels aren’t to my taste, but the car is amazing. Great review Harry.
I suspect I'll be having nightmares about trying to clean those wheels tonight...
@@Beer_Dad1975 Good point. I was going more on their looks, but they would be an absolute nightmare to keep clean. Especially since this car probably puts off a lot of brake dust.
@@07FJCCeramic brakes = no dust
@@honza2755 good to know, thanks.
Something about astons 👍
What an absolutely stunning car 🥰
Usual brilliant video harry 👏
1st time i have come across this channel, not really looked at comments but you remind me of James May just after the first few minutes
Sounds glorious! Especially for a turbo!
Great review, and Harry you’re looking pretty trim in these latest videos #matchfit 👍
Good gosh! The opening of the video,......THAT SOUND!
Pure class Harry...
It's been a while Professor Harry
Hope health is good and family is well
There's a few special Aston Martin's on Autotrader at the moment! 2 x One-77's and 2 x V600 Project Dreadnought's!
How did I miss that?? Oh I was browsing 2003 buick lesabres for my parents (their choice lol)
There’s a V12 Speedster and a V8 Vantage AMR Road legal conversion, as well as a V12 Zagato and many Vanquish Zagatos
Looks nice,always abit weird when the press car is always lefthand drive when promoting a mostly British car though
I agree, why would it even be in a British media test car fleet?
Yeah...astons right handers only ta 😂but hey what a car...beautiful ill have two one for sundays!...I wish..👍
Sounds awesome, love the more aggressive looks too with the stance. On the Christmas list 😂
my favorite aston is the vanquish volante that arrived in 2013 , the interior in the dbs you driving looks very simple, 100% agree with you on that topic
Looking at your garage collection Mr. M, all you need is that Overfinch made good and a nice manual 928! Great that the DBS is a such a good drivers car and it looks stunning…
That is one beautiful looking car !
I disagree. This costs almost £400K…. For that sort of money, it needs to be much much more beautiful
@@BobTheBlue I am totally fine with your opinion ! And I even agree that the car is quite expensive , But that doesn't change the fact that looks amazing
This wheels are next level
Wow Stunning Car and the noise Fantastic 😍
I see you got all the way to 56mph on that launch Harry. 😅
Wow that a good looking car, a beautiful colour paint job the silver accents work as a nice contrast.
I quite like the ‘waterfall’ centre of the dash, it’s the fussy binnacle area I’m not keen on, all academic as I couldn’t afford a wheel nut 😂
I am a sub and like all videos. I am intereted that i look from my subs everyday and then 3 motorcycle vlogs come up. I think youtub is messing with your algos. I remember a vlog last year where you mentioned lack of support for bike vlogs.
What a design!! Sensational. Yes, I admit to liking the Beolab 3 tweeters too. The 'connection'. Its importance (me as a driver) connot be over emphesized. What a dream. Its just a shame I must wake up. I hope to see you soon Harry. Bw Mike in the Forest of Blackness.
I'm stopping the video now.. I don't even care if it runs. Stunning. 😎❄️👍
Right, back to the Sunday night treat from Harry.
You just talked about acceleration times and kept the pedal to the metal for a good 8seconds 🤔.
Awesome car and an honest review - again 👍
Love ur videos Harry - best in class ! I’d still take the 812 for the thrill of driving or the Bentley if i really want a whafter. Astons cockpits are so overaged old mercedes i am astonished it does not get thrashed more.
Good call, this does look better than the Bentley, but the interior of the Bentley is sheer luxury class.
Gorgeous paint on this car!
Looks great sounds great
Harry, I do miss you weighing the cars, I know it’s super nerdy, but I always found it fascinating.
I think his scales are out of action. Or one of them at least.
That rear end looks incredibly good.
Probably my lottery win car! Although it better hurry up :-)! Thanks for a great video Harry!
The car is awesome and Harry is just as good🥰
That exhaust sound is really good.
This is one of those occasions where I admit that money can buy happiness! I would be very but very happy if I had one of these marvelous piece of engineering in my garage....
. . . I agree . . . but even if you couldn't afford to take it out?!
See you in traffic with that horid interior 😂
@@rogerwatt3154 ahaahah! Oh yeah!
@@pure_awareness you're right! Horrendous....
Beautiful looking car with an amazing dark blue color.
Hell of a colour, that.
Amazing sound
Great looking car,nasty looking wheels.The TVR Speed 12 is mental;I recall seeing this at show(Earls Ct?) some years ago & scratching my head then.I think there is also a blue one fitted with an Aston V12.I,m planning to drive your favourite test route(A361 to Charlbury) next Saturday;I,m visiting my old school at Kingham Hill & its not far from there.Cheers PB.
good vid harry (si from bath)
Thanks Harry, it's always fun to see an Aston, pity about the centre console. I love the wheels.
Not just the centre console, the whole interior is dated, cheap looking and ugly
@@BobTheBlue a bit too much Ford going on.
@@billkeaveney1526 Its Mercedes inside
The project 8 and project 7 sitting next to each other is just beautiful
no ring time quoted
how refreshing
james will be happy
Legend Harry.
The DBS is my favourite Aston, and this, apart from the centre stack of the dash, is absolutely the best of them!
Amazing car, and I love the colour. But my god, those wheels a gopping 😮
Great video Harry. As an owner of a previous generation Aston I really didn’t like these. Recently the local dealer arranged an open day to drive the DBS both in Volante and Coupe and wow, just wow, what a car so the Ultimate looks good. However the EU have repealed the EV cut off (UK yet to) so the idea this is the last ICE Aston seems flawed. JLR have made a similar move and I think it is a massive mistake. Our Italian and German cousins haven’t! I just hope the next generation of Aston has ICE (maybe V8 / V12 hybrid) as an option.
Always was a beautiful car. I really enjoyed mine (not a 770 obviously) . Will be interesting to see what comes next.
Love this DBS. So cool looking. My favorite color too. Black. One Mean Machine.
I remember what I wrote when you first tested the red one...and no matter the attempt to make it nicer inside, it still applies: "Outside a winner - inside dog s dinner!" ;)
I agree with the console design it doesn't seem to match the great look of the car itself. I would love to have one if I could afford that price tag I would buy it over anything else I have seen in that price range. Once again thanks for the video and drive safe.
We need MORE cars like that!!! :D
Enjoyed the video chap..TT2023 starts next Sunday(first practice)
Bulging buttock and duck tail has been the identity of Aston Martin in all its model that had made Aston Martin prominent than its predecessors. Well done Aston Martin keep it up. Your design had made me an owner of a Vanquish since launched.
Excellent review Harry 👍. The Valkyrie spec wheels definitely would be up there on my 'like' list. Pretty sure all would agree that it's a proper GT in the true sense of the word, but as you mentioned, the console is a scratch your head moment really.
The Austin Allegro had a similar shaped steering wheel. They called it 'Quartic' I think, and remember it being the subject of criticism and mirth at the time. Yes the dashboard area as a whole is a mess in the DBS and should'nt be in a car costing so much.
The one and only time an allegro could be compared to a dbs 😂😂
The Allegro dash was better.....
Aston Allegro. If there were an award for vandalism, it would go to an Allegro badge on someone's DBS.
Sounded similar too
Talking of Allegros. I'm heading over to Retropower after this. 😃👍
VW are quite into flat bottom steering wheels but they're also into touchscreen everything so not necessarily masters of ergonomics 😃😃
I don't understand how a company that can do exterior styling like this also does interior styling like that?
Found myself on the test route by accident on Friday. Not quite the driving experience in a Merc CLA, but still cracking.
Pretty thing, the DBS, goes in the dream garage as the GT (older NA please).
very very good sound! wow!
Such a beauty.
