The current Aston Martin DBS is 185.4″ long, 76.4″ wide, on a 110.6″ wheelbase, weighing 4,068 lb. Since 1971 it has grown 3% in length and gained 7% in weight. At 15.5 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Aston Martin DBS generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens for the Aston Martin DBS, 267 lb of it since 1971, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1971–1972 | 180.3″ | 72″ | 52.4″ | 102.8″ | 3,801 lb |
| 2008–2012 | 185.8″ | 74″ | 50.4″ | 107.9″ | 3,737 lb |
| 2019–2024 | 185.4″ | 76.4″ | 50.4″ | 110.6″ | 4,068 lb |
From 1971 to today the DBS gained 5.1″ of length (3%) and 267 lb of weight (7%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
DBS year by year

Will a DBS fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search, and for a 15.5-foot Aston Martin DBS it has a straight answer. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep and a street parking space about 18, so the DBS clears the garage by 3.5 ft. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 15.5 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 15.5 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6.4 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 1,043 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 76.4″ | 72.4″ | +4.0″ |
| Wheelbase | 110.6″ | 107.9″ | +2.7″ |
| Curb weight | 4,068 lb | 3,640 lb | 428 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. At 4,068 lb the Aston Martin DBS is 428 lb heavier than typical for its size, which generally shows up as fuel economy and stopping distance.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display, 13 measured model years for the Aston Martin DBS between 1971 and 2024.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and the Aston Martin DBS fits into 3 rows instead of 13. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation of the Aston Martin DBS.
