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, 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
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 13 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.

Will a DBS fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. 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. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

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.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
