Aston Martin DBS 59 – The Latest Limited Edition Model From Aston Martin Cambridge.
Aston Martin Cambridge hosted a unique handover event at 24 hours of Le Mans.
Aston Martin Cambridge, hosted a special five-day handover event for 24 new Aston Martin โDBS 59โ owners during Le Mans weekend โDBS 59โ a Q by Aston Martin: Commission by Aston Martin Cambridge celebrates sixty years since Aston Martinโs iconic 1-2 finish at Le Mans in the DRB1.
Owners were also given the opportunity to drive their new Super Grand-Tourers around the track for a parade lap ahead of this yearโs Le Mans race.
Richard Eniffer, Dealer Principal at Aston Martin Cambridge, said: โOur unique handover event at Le Mans this year has been a triumph. โDBS 59โ strikes a careful balance between a timeless design that respects Aston Martinโs history and a modern take that celebrates its future. Each model is a stunning example of automotive excellence and design aspiration and will offer the owners a truly unique motoring experience in the years to come.
โWe were delighted to create such a memorable handover event for everyone involved and were pleased to be joined by representatives from the highly talented design and engineering teams at Aston Martin who worked with us to turn our vision into a reality. To see the sheer joy on the 24 ownersโ faces as they were given the keys was the perfect ending to this commission.โ
Simon Lane, Director of Q and Special Project Sales at Aston Martin Lagonda, added: โProjects like โDBS 59โ showcase the capability of โQ by Aston Martinโ to deliver unique design projects that enhance Aston Martinโs original designs. By working on each project at a granular level, we can find detailed design features that look beautiful while creating points of interest and sentiment for owners. Each โDBS 59โ honours an hour of the iconic 24 hour race and pays homage to the number of laps, the drivers who risked their lives and the date that our 1-2 win occurred โ to create a stunning project that duly honours this historic achievement.โ
Every detail of โDBS 59โ has been meticulously thought through from the recreation of seat material used on the winning DBR1 to the unique bronze shift paddles. Following a careful study of the DBR1โs own paint exterior, Aston Martin Racing Green was the outwear chosen for โDBS 59โ. Gloss finish carbon fibre on the roof panel and strakes add a striking juxtaposition against the lustrous green.
Bronze details such as the โSuperleggeraโ bonnet badging, bespoke front grille, brake callipers and 21โ forged Y spoke satin duotone wheels nod to the bronze switches and dials on the Le Mans winner. Further exterior details, such as the individually numbered roundel painted on the fender, and the bespoke tyre wall arrow decal, breathe the spirit of racing into the already impressive performance of the DBS Superleggera.
Aston Martin Martin DBS59 Project
To honour Aston Martinโs first win at Le Mans in 1959, Aston Martin Cambridge created DBS 59, the commission of a limited edition collection of 24 DBS Superleggeras.
The limited edition cars took design and styling cues from the Aston Martin DBR1 racing car which powered to victory 60 years ago against the motoring might of marquees such as Ferrari and Porsche.
The collection will be a celebration of Aston Martin’s Le Mans heritage and a celebration of modern motoring through the DBS Superleggera.
The cars were offered for sale at ยฃ325,000, and were handed over to their lucky owners at a spectacular event at the renowned Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans during the race weekend of 15th/16th June 2019.
The handover was a truly unique car and an unforgettable handover experience for the lucky 24 owners.
