Engineering and performance
A hand-built 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. Producing 671 HP and 590 lb-ft of torque. Capabilities elevated. Performance enhanced. Dynamics sharpened. An all-new suspension system. New intelligent adaptive dampers. Benchmarks torn up. An icon reaffirmed.
ENGINE
Performance. Perfected.
Surging to a top speed of 202 mph. Delivering 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds. An exceptional all-aluminum 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine has been comprehensively re-engineered for DB12. Modified cam profiles. Optimized compression ratio. Larger turbochargers. Increased cooling. As seamless as it is relentless, DB12 elevates the grand into the echelons of superpowered.
TRANSMISSION & POWERTRAIN
Geared for power
Spearheading fiercer performance and nonstop driver engagement from a mighty V8 heart. An automatic ZF eight-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.
HANDLING & STEERING
Five drive modes in the palm of your hand
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 optimize 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.
BRAKES
Carbon braking
Steel brakes as standard provide superior stopping power. Or choose Carbon Ceramic Brakes—the first time we’ve offered these across Aston Martin’s core GT models. 15.7 in. at the front. 14.2 in. at the rear. Grooved and drilled to increase ventilation and improve thermal management. Saving 60 lb in unsprung mass. Lightweighting in action. Increasing braking performance and reducing brake fade at temperatures of up to 1,472°F. Facilitating later braking into corners. Giving more stability. More road connection. More confidence.
CHASSIS, DYNAMICS & SUSPENSION
Steering dynamics into a new class
The bonded aluminum 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.
DB12 is a statement car. One that asserts Aston Martin's position as a leader in performance, dynamics, engineering and technology.

Exterior
DB12. A harmonious expression of power, prestige, and potency. A design that exudes confidence, commands attention, and elegantly hints at the supreme handling, connected technology, and ultra-luxury cabin space that lie in wait beneath.
Grille
Our DNA. Front and center
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 modeled on the classic 50s look but made bolder, wider, fiercer, and more assertive to announce the presence of the world’s first Super Tourer.
WIDE BODY
Wider body, broader horizons
Progressive styling is further finessed with a wider more muscular stance, broader haunches pumped with purpose and positivity. Track widths increased by 0.2 in. at the front end and 0.9 in. at the rear. Clad in composite panels. Giving the DB12 increased stability and even greater road presence.
WHEELS
Wheels of progress
Mounted on new, 21-inch forged lightweight alloy wheels, trimmed to maximize harmony between tire and asphalt. DB12 debuts the new Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tire. Developed alongside Michelin, they ensure the highest levels of reactivity for precision steering. A hand-spun compound maximizes lateral grip in both wet and dry conditions to dampen the effects of rain and cushion comfort into every roll of tread. The tires also feature noise-cancelling inserts to reduce tire noise by 20%. Further elevating refinement and driver comfort.
Side Strake, Front Splitter and Sills
An iconic profile
The iconic side strake feature has long graced the legendary DB bloodline. Automotive jewelry 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-colored side sills also draw attention to the front wheels and imposing arches for a deeper, stronger stance. DB12. Beautiful form. Exquisite function.
Interior
DB12 opens up a sensory haven for all occupants. Enriched by an all-new, ultra-luxury, driver-centric cabin.
