Unfortunately also the weight rose to 1.270 kg, otherwise it would have given an almost dramatic increase in output. What miracles that ASTON MARTIN thereupon a special series with still more strength under the hood offered. Three carburetors and a higher compression brought 195 HP and an engine created even 214 HP. The factory had evenly still a heart for its runs fans.

A further mechanical improvement concerned the brakes. Front disc brakes became standard. The most reaching through modification in the styling resulierte from a new Design of the front portion. This became necessary by the installation of a new radiator grille. It offered a momentumful sight, inspired by the DB3S-Rennwagen. After approximately hundred cars the small bubble-shaped taillights were replaced by larger vertical. With it the first generation of the postwar ASTON MARTINS ended.
