REESE COUNTS: Hi, everybody, Reese Counts with Autoblog. I'm here with the new Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. Now, it looks like a DB11, but there are some visual differences. Upfront, you can see outside of my shadow the large grille. So much of the front face of this car is intake to help cool the 715 horsepower twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12. The vents on the fender are still here, but you can see these very prominent [INAUDIBLE] where air comes outside of the wheel well.

Walking back, here, you can see these intakes right behind the rear windows. The air comes out here and back and actually comes out from the slot in the rear wing. Let's see if I can get it to focus a little. Now, the DBS Superleggera uses a fixed rear wing as opposed to the removable, like, gurney flap on the DB11. While it's not active, this actually does provide more downforce than what you [INAUDIBLE] the DB11. And frankly, I think it looks pretty wild.
