The new model was released in honor of the double victory of the DBR1 race car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans marathon in 1959.
The Aston Martin DBS 59 features some design elements that echo the famous Le Mans winner. In particular, the car has a matte green paint finish, carbon fiber inserts, as well as bronze details in the radiator grille, spoiler, wheel rims, and brake calipers.
The interior is upholstered in black and walnut leather. The trunk has special mounts for racing helmets. The equipment list also includes a racing suit and vintage racing gloves.
The Aston Martin DBS 59 is powered by the same 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine producing 725 hp and 900 Nm of torque. The engine works in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The supercar can accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, and its top speed is 339 km/h.
The Aston Martin DBS 59 will be produced in a limited edition of 24 units. Prices for the special version of the supercar have not yet been announced.
