Owners of the limited edition Aston Martin ‘DBS 59’, received the keys to their limited edition DBS Superleggeras at a memorable and exhilarating handover day at Le Mans this weekend. Strictly limited to 24 editions ‘DBS 59’was commissioned by Aston Martin Cambridge through ‘Q by Aston Martin’, the luxury brand’s unique personalisation service. Q by Aston Martin, allows for the creation of iconic sports cars through close collaboration with the Aston Martin design team. ‘DBS 59’ follows on from the success of previous commissions by Aston Martin Cambridge including the Red Arrows Edition Vanquish S and V12 Vantage S Spitfire edition. , The current project honours the 60-year anniversary of Aston Martin’s historic 1-2 finish in the DBR1 at the 24Hours of Le Mans in 1959. Each edition represents one hour of this iconic race, in which Roy Salvadori and Caroll Shelby took the chequered flag ahead of the sister car piloted by Maurice Trintignant and Paul Frére. To mark the occasion, the 24 new owners were invited to a five-day event encompassing VIP flights, luxury 5-star accommodation and dinner at the iconic Hotel de France in La Chartre-sur-le-Loir. The new owners also took part in a once-in-a-lifetime handover ceremony which recreated the iconic photograph from the start of the race in 1959. Owners were given the rare opportunity to drive their new Super Grand-Tourers around the track for a parade lap ahead of this year’s Le Mans race. Richard Eniffer, Dealer Principal at Aston Martin Cambridge, said: “Our unique handover event at Le Mans this year has been a triumph. The ‘DBS 59’ strikes a careful balance between a timeless design that respects Aston Martin’s 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. “We 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 owners’ faces as they were given the keys was the perfect ending to this commission.”Every detail of ‘DBS 59’ 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 DBR1’s own paint exterior, Aston Martin Racing Green was the outwear chosen for ‘DBS 59’. Gloss finish carbon fibre on the roof panel and strakes add a striking juxtaposition against the lustrous green. Bronze details such as the ‘Superleggera’ bonnet badging, bespoke front grille, brake calipers and 21” 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.
