Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Concorde Edition lands

Latest ultra-exclusive DBS Superleggera special marks 50 years since the supersonic Concorde took to the skies

Celebrating 50 years since Concorde's maiden flight, Aston Martin has created 10 special DBS Superleggera Concorde Editions.

All inspired by the original British Airways Concordes, the ultra-limited run of DBS Superleggeras were created by Aston Martin's Q bespoke department in co-operation with British Airways.

That explains why each car comes with a livery borrowed from the famous planes, with the BA livery used for the roof, spoiler, rear diffuser and front splitter.

A black carbon-fibre roof panel, meanwhile, is said to feature a silhouette of the supersonic jet in flight.

Other details include side strakes milled from solid aluminium and BA's 'Speedmarque' logos on the front wings.

A pair of the original aircraft's identifier numbers has also been place behind the doors on the rear wings.

Inside, the Concorde tributes continue with logos on the front seats and graphics on the sun visor.

Even the headliner is adorned with a 'sonic boom' graphic.

Under the bonnet, the Concorde Edition doesn't add any more performance to the regular DBS Superleggera's already muscular twin-turbocharged 5.2-litre V12.

That means all 10 of the ultra-limited special-editions push out 533kW and 900Nm and are capable of hitting 100km/h in 3.4 seconds before topping out at 340km/h.

Sadly, if you fancy ordering one of the supersonic celebrations Down Under you might be too late.

All 10 cars were commissioned by a British Aston Martin dealership in Bristol, only a short walk from Aerospace Bristol at Filton – the place where the British Concorde was manufactured and where the last Concorde to ever fly is displayed to the public.
