Aston Martin DB12

ICON . DRIVEN

Welcome to heart racing, benchmark chasing, class leading, real world performance. Powered by a twin turbo V8 tuned to deliver 680PS of intoxicating acceleration and otherworldly exhilaration. This is no mere GT.

A mountain flattening continent crusher, content to cruise across whatever roads it’s dared to drive on. A V8 twin turbo delivering a heart racing, class leading 680PS for a top speed of 202mph. Shortened gearing improves acceleration, particularly across the mid range, and 750Nm of torque gives driving potency where it’s needed most.

This is a new standard of performance.

PERFORMANCE

A NEW HEIGHT OF PERFORMANCE

DB12 raises the simply grand into the superpowered. Spiking pulses with a twin turbo V8, delivering a class-leading 680PS for a top speed of 202mph and potent with 800Nm of torque. A super tourer drawing from a handmade aluminium heart to drip-feed every drop of performance from its core to the road.

PRESSING AND PIROUETTING POWER

Geared towards power. An automatic ZF 8-speed transmission comes twinned with electronic rear differential. Channelling power into place and weaving it individually through each wheel. Offering shorter gear changes to improve acceleration, particularly across the mid-range. Allowing the world’s first super tourer to find super speeds.

THE WORLD IN YOUR HANDLING

Upgraded with five drive modes. Each one able to bite harder into tarmac with ESP. Gifting the driver tighter control and the ability to fly smoothly down any road. With the electronic limited slip differential distributing torque intelligently for better handling and performance at any speed. And the non-isolated steering system injecting immediate feedback and feeling direct to the palm of your hands.

STAMP DOWN YOUR CERAMIC FOOT

For the first time across Aston Martin’s core GT models, the choice of carbon ceramic brakes. 400mm at the front. 360mm at the rear. Grooved and drilled, disc by disc, to fight off fade in the cauldron of high speed. While reducing unsprung mass by 27kg to quicken its feel at your feet and control in your hands.

STEERING DYNAMICS INTO A NEW CLASS

The DB12 comes bolstered by anti-roll technology, a stiffer structure, and double wishbone suspension. Intelligent dampers optimise comfort and dynamics and react lightning-fast. Giving you the confidence to attack every corner.

INTERIOR

Swelling the surface of your senses with smarter sound, digital intelligence, and never-seen-before infotainment. The optimum blend of analogue controls and digital technology.

Piece by piece made from poise and purity to seek exhilaration at the speed of missiles. DB12 is a statement car. One that asserts Aston Martin's position as a leader in performance, dynamics, engineering and technology.
