Stuart Gallagher, Editor-in-Chief of evo, exclaimed: “Comprehensive dynamic upgrades not only make the new Aston Martin DB12 S a better GT car, but it’s now a far better performance car, too.”

The enthusiasm for the addictive DB12 S experience among expert testers in the US is no less apparent. MotorTrend’s Christian Seabaugh reports: “Sport mode feels like muscles flexing, everything more reactive and immediate. Sport+ is like a sprinter at the blocks waiting for the starter’s pistol to fire. Finally, twist back to GT mode, and the car relaxes, becoming more tranquil all at once.”

Italy’s Quattroruote offers a compelling summary of the DB12 S experience. Alessio Frassinetti said: “The DB12 S stands out as a more focused and rewarding car to drive, without losing the refinement expected from an Aston Martin.”
