The Aston Martin DBS has a standard driver’s side knee airbag mounted low on the dashboard. The knee airbag helps prevent the driver from sliding under the seatbelts or the main frontal airbag; this keeps the driver better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. A knee airbag also helps keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The SF90 doesn’t offer knee airbags.

The DBS has a standard Birds-eye Camera to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The SF90 only offers a rear monitor and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the front or sides.

Both the DBS and the SF90 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights and rearview cameras.

The Aston Martin DBS weighs 607 to 827 pounds more than the Ferrari SF90. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

Warranty

The DBS’ corrosion warranty is 7 years longer than the SF90’s (10 vs. 3 years).

Engine

The DBS’ standard 5.2 turbo V12 produces 74 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 590) than the SF90’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid. The DBS’ 5.2 turbo V12 produces 74 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 590) than the SF90 XX Stradale’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid. The DBS 770 Ultimate Edition’s standard 5.2 turbo V12 produces 74 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 590) than the SF90 XX Stradale’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid.

Fuel Economy and Range

On the EPA test cycle the DBS 5.2 turbo V12 gets better fuel mileage than the SF90 Spider with its standard engine running its gasoline engine (14 city/22 hwy vs. 16 city/19 hwy).

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the DBS’ fuel efficiency. The SF90 doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

The DBS has 3.1 gallons more fuel capacity than the SF90 (21.1 vs. 18 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the DBS’ brake rotors are larger than those on the SF90:

	DBS	SF90
Front Rotors	16.1 inches	15.7 inches

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the DBS has larger front tires than the SF90 (265/35R21 vs. 255/35R20).

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the DBS has standard 21-inch wheels. Only 20-inch wheels are available on the SF90.

Suspension and Handling

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the DBS’ wheelbase is 6.1 inches longer than on the SF90 (110.4 inches vs. 104.3 inches).

The DBS’ front to rear weight distribution is more even (51% to 49%) than the SF90’s (45% to 55%). This gives the DBS more stable handling and braking.

Passenger Space

The DBS has standard seating for 4 passengers; the SF90 can only carry 2.

Cargo Capacity

The DBS Coupe has a much larger trunk than the SF90 Coupe (9.5 vs. 2.6 cubic feet).

Servicing Ease

The DBS uses gas struts to support the hood for easier service access. The SF90 uses a prop rod to support its heavy hood. It takes two hands to open the hood and set the prop rod, the prop rod gets in the way during maintenance and service, and the prop rod could be knocked out, causing the heavy hood to fall on the person maintaining or servicing the car.

Ergonomics

Unlike the driver-only memory seat in the SF90, the DBS has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

The DBS’ front power windows open or close with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The SF90’s front passenger window doesn’t close automatically.

The DBS’ standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The SF90’s available power window controls are spread out on the center console where they can’t be seen without the driver completely removing his eyes from the road.

In case of a sudden change of weather, the DBS has a standard remote convertible top that can be raised from a distance to protect the interior of the vehicle from damage. On a hot day the DBS has a standard remote opening feature, to lower the top from outside. The SF90 doesn’t offer a remote top, so the driver will have to run to the car, get in, turn the ignition on and raise the top to prevent the interior from being damaged.

Keyless Entry and Go standard on the DBS allows you to unlock the driver’s door, trunk and start the engine all without removing a key from pocket or purse. This eliminates searching for keys before loading groceries, getting in the vehicle in bad weather or making a hurried start to your trip. The Ferrari SF90’s Push-button start doesn’t unlock the doors or the trunk.

The DBS has standard heated front seats, which keep the driver and front passenger extremely comfortable in the winter. Heated seats aren’t available in the SF90.

Optional air-conditioned seats in the DBS keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The SF90 doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

On extremely cold winter days, the DBS’ optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The SF90 doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

The DBS’ standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. The SF90 doesn’t offer dual zone air conditioning.

The DBS’ Auto Parking can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling speed with the brake pedal. The SF90 doesn’t offer an automated parking system.
