DB12

Surging to a top speed of 202 mph. Delivering 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. An exceptional all-aluminium 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine has been comprehensively re-engineered for DB12. Modified cam profiles. Optimised compression ratio. Larger turbochargers. Increased cooling. As seamless as it is relentless, DB12 elevates the grand into the echelons of superpowered.

Spearheading fiercer performance and non-stop driver engagement from a mighty V8 heart. An automatic ZF 8-speed transmission is twinned with an Electronic Rear Differential . Quicker gear changes and a lower final drive ratio sharpens acceleration through the mid-range. Delivering a more dynamic drive in any conditions.

 

DB12 has five easily accessed drive modes: GT, Sport, Sport+, Wet and Individual. Each combines next-generation Electric Stability Control (ESC) with Electronic Rear Differential to optimise cornering abilities on track or road, whatever the weather. Distributing torque intelligently for better handling and performance. Tighter control. Increased confidence. Brilliantly agile and responsive. DB12 comes alive on challenging roads through immense front-end grip and unrelenting traction.

 

Steel brakes as standard provide superior stopping power. Or choose Carbon Ceramic Brakes – t he first time we’ve offered these across Aston Martin’s core GT models. 400mm at the front. 360mm at the rear. Grooved and drilled to increase ventilation and improve thermal management. Saving 27kg in unsprung mass. Lightweighting in action. Increasing braking performance and reducing brake fade at temperatures of up to 800°C. Facilitating later braking into corners. Giving more stability. More road connection. More confidence.

 

The bonded aluminium structure sees a 7% increase in stiffness, bolstered by firmer anti-roll bars and enhanced performance through double wishbone suspension. Refinements to a range of underbody parts improve rigidity and lateral stiffness. With a greater focus on ride refinement and steering feel. A new generation of Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers offer pinpoint dynamics with lightning-fast reactions for greater stability. Giving drivers confidence to enter every bend at pace.

 

One thing remains at the core of every Aston Martin. The driver. DB12 offers a precision seating position for a perfect hip-to-heel ratio. Controls are ergonomically placed along the car’s centreline ensuring maximum connection. The high centre console ensures immersive engagement with everyday tech interfaces. Swathed in hand-stitched Scottish Leather Group leather. Bold, horizontal design lines are softened with elegant interior jewellery and distinctive trim detail. A high-tech, ultra-luxury cabin space embodies true super tourer values. Balancing sublime comfort with smart connectivity for long journeys that are effortlessly navigated and endlessly enjoyable.

DB12 is equipped with 10.25-inch Pure Black, 1970x720 high-resolution screens with ultra-responsive (30 nano second reaction time) capacitive touch control. The highest definition for any car with equivalent touch control systems. This allows fingertip input and multi-finger gesture control, creating an immediate sense of connection. DB12 creates a pleasing balance between touchscreen commands and the positive tactility of physical switches for secure eyes-off mechanical operations such as gear selection, drive selection, heating and ventilation. The perfect blend of peerless technology and everyday usability.

Aston Martin’s next-generation bespoke infotainment system. A formidable suite of connected technologies includes a spectacular surround sound system from new audio partner, Bowers & Wilkins. Sound resounds from every corner of DB12 with 15 speakers and 1170 watts steeping you in a deep-end aural ambience. Offering a breadth of acoustic soundscapes and QuantumLogin Immersion. Technology reacts to ambient noise in the cabin, automatically adjusting the audio profile as you drive. Sound processing creates a truly intense sound stage for occupants to immerse themselves in. A sound system that demands an encore.

The iconic vaned grille. A perfectly honed focal point. Aston Martin DNA emphatically on show. Where formidable form meets functional flow of air. A 56% increase in open area to aid cooling. An all-new, updated front-end design features S curves modelled on the classic 50s look but made bolder, wider, fiercer and more assertive to announce the presence of the world’s first Super Tourer.

Progressive styling is further finessed with a wider more muscular stance, broader haunches pumped with purpose and positivity. Track widths increased by 6mm at the front end, and 22mm at the rear. Clad in composite panels. Giving the DB12 increased stability and even greater road presence.

Mounted on new, 21-inch forged lightweight alloy wheels, trimmed to maximise harmony between tyre and tarmac. DB12 debuts the new Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tyre. Developed alongside Michelin, they ensure the highest levels of reactivity for precision steering. A hand-spun compound maximises lateral grip in both wet and dry conditions to dampen the effects of rain and cushion comfort into every roll of tread. The tyres also feature noise-cancelling inserts to reduce tyre noise by 20%. Further elevating refinement and driver comfort.

A cabin caressed in sunlight. DB12’s panoramic roof is laminated, strengthened and finished with tinting; letting only 6% of sunlight through the glass to brush the interiors in brightness while stifling any additional heat. Fixed and smoothed into an uninterrupted glazing area to let a full view of the sky crown your drive. 

The iconic side strake feature has long graced the legendary DB bloodline. Automotive jewellery with a flourish – an inscription of the new ‘Aston Martin’ wordmark, leading the eye along the subtle and sculpted waistline. The curlicue remains a revolutionary feat of engineering on the road car. Maintaining the pure lines while exhaling air from the front wheel arches to reduce lift and achieve high speed stability. Body-coloured side sills also draw attention to the front wheels and imposing arches for a deeper, stronger stance. DB12. Beautiful form. Exquisite function.

Imperious by day. Illuminating by night. Distinctly fronted with redesigned LED headlights and shining with a new daytime running light (DRL) signature. Introducing pyramid and knurled surface design features. DB12 utilises a distinct 6-block pattern, offering a striking and characterful visual appearance. Each lighting block has a serrated front and side design to ensure a consistent and homogeneous light output, guaranteeing a focused light beam pattern.
