2020 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera ConcordeThere are mere few aircrafts that are more instantly recognizable than the world-renowned Concorde. And even 50 years since its first flight the supersonic passenger jet continues to inspire artists and enthusiasts. In fact, the carrier is influential enough to become the base inspiration for the new Aston Martin Wings Series.

Limited to only ten examples and featuring lavish personalization features, Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Concorde proudly celebrates on only the half-century since the iconic luxury passenger jet took to the skies, but also the centenary of one of Concorde's two flag-carrying airline operators: British Airways.

The announcement of this special edition sports car also marks the latest chapter in the ongoing Aston martin Wings Series. DBS Superleggera Concorde Edition joins the Vanquish S Red Arrow Edition, Vantage Blade Edition and the V12 Vantage S Spitfire 80.

The vehicle has been commissioned by Aston Martin Bristol, which is to be found just a long runaway's length away from Aerospace Bristol at Filton – the place that is home to the last Concorde ever to fly. Today's announcement is particularly fitting since it coincides exactly with the date of 26 November 2003, in which the last Concorde flight touched down.
