Forza Horizon 4: Beautiful is Absolute

Riddle me this: I'm a British sportscar, I have twelve cylinders, and my name doesn't mean Dragon Ball Super. Who am I?



If your answer to this riddle is the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, then you are exactly right because it is one and since I won this car from the recent playlist of this FH4 update, it might be the ideal moment to talk about my new prize.



So, what's it all about the DBS Superleggera? Hailed as the replacement to the Vanquish and based on the DB11, the newly reborn Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is the ultimate grand tourer designed from the ground up. Underneath its muscular shape and seductive curves, the DBS Superleggera carries the same 5.0L V12 Twin Turbo engine from the DB11 but it's been uprooted to produce 725PS of power and 900Nm of torque while mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, it can get from 0-60mph in three and a half seconds and onwards to 211mph. It even comes with torque vectoring, a mechanical LSD, and F1-inspired aerodynamics to make it more track-honed while retaining its grand tourer status.



Sure, the DBS doesn't have the most sophisticated interior ever made, the automatic gearbox is less responsive at high speeds, and the V12 engine doesn't roar like a Ferrari 812 Superfast but when you let this ultimate grand tourer act like a loose cannon, it feels alive, intimidating, and downright enjoyable to get yourself behind the wheel but when you're driving in your bladder, things get really messy and you could be in pinch. The struggle is real but since I've been longing to get my hands on the new DBS, it's time to do some science to see how exciting the new DBS is but first...





Well, like they said. It's your show, your time. IT'S SHOWTIME! Anyway, enough about that because with the DBS got peppered with the heavenly perfume of its sexiness, it's time to do some science but since every single part of Britain's occupied a few moments ago and with some busy schedule ahead at Fortune Island, I went to LEGO valley to see what's like to experience the new Aston halo car of the moment.



Yes, I know, the Aston Martin would not behave as what the drivers want, especially in icy conditions, but since this is its show, its time, might as well make the most out of it. Roll the tape.





And there you have it. The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is by far the most exciting Aston Martin I have ever driven in the game. Although the performance doesn't match supercar standards, the DBS really made drivers drive some more because this car will never stop its driver until he or she is fully satisfied with their experience.

Speaking of which, I want to keep driving the DBS for more because it's starting to be my new personal favorite Aston at the moment. Until then, keep on driving!
