The World’s First Super Tourer
Aston Martin has once again redefined the boundaries of automotive excellence with the historic introduction of the world’s first Super Tourer, the Aston Martin DB12. Building upon decades of unrivalled craftsmanship and performance innovation, the DB12 stands as a testament to Aston Martin’s unyielding dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the realm of luxury sports cars. With its breathtaking design, cutting-edge technology, and unparalleled power, the DB12 encapsulates a new era of driving, seamlessly blending the grace of a grand tourer with the ferocity of a supercar. As the dawn of a new automotive epoch, the Aston Martin DB12 heralds a triumphant fusion of elegance, power, and innovation that will leave an indelible mark on the world of motoring.
Evolution in Design: Striking a Harmonious Balance
When comparing the Aston Martin DB11 to the all-new DB12, it’s evident that the brand’s commitment to design excellence remains unwavering. The DB12 carries forward the graceful and timeless silhouette that has become synonymous with Aston Martin, but with subtle refinements that amplify its aerodynamic efficiency and visual allure.
The front fascia of the DB12 boasts a more aggressive grille and sleeker LED headlight design, contributing to improved airflow management while giving the car an even more commanding presence on the road. The lines are sharper, and the overall profile is slightly more sculpted, enhancing both aesthetics and performance. From every angle, the DB12 exudes an air of sophistication and athleticism that is unmistakably Aston Martin.
Unleashing Raw Power: Heart-Pounding Performance
Under the sleek and extended all-new hood design of the DB12 lies a symphony of mechanical prowess. Aston Martin engineers have unleashed an enhanced handcrafted powertrain that epitomizes the brand’s commitment to performance. The DB12 is equipped with a refined 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing an impressive 671hp with 590 lb-ft., of torque which propels the car from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.5 seconds.
Standard 21” forged wheels complement the performance tires which have been specifically designed for the DB12. Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 Summer Performance Tires have been developed to enhance on-road and on-track performance while reducing interior cabin noise.
Technological Advancements: A Digital Symphony of Performance
Stepping inside the 2024 Aston Martin DB12 is akin to entering a high-tech cocoon of luxury. Aston Martin has embraced cutting-edge technology to create an immersive driving experience that seamlessly integrates with the car’s performance capabilities.
The centrepiece of this technological symphony is the all-new 10.3” advanced full colour touch-screen infotainment system, which replaces the outgoing screen which protruded from the dash. The updated display now offers intuitive controls and seamless smartphone integration with 3D Navigation mapping. Drivers and passengers alike can enjoy a connected journey while relishing in the opulent interior.
One of the most remarkable advancements in the DB12 is the inclusion of a state-of-the-art driver assistance suite. This suite combines an all-new electronically controlled rear differential, which Aston Martin says can almost instantly go from fully open to fully locked in milliseconds. Adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking are included to elevate both the safety and convenience of the driving experience. Aston Martin’s commitment to technology extends beyond the driver’s seat, as the DB12 features enhanced connectivity options that allow remote diagnostics and software updates, ensuring the car is always operating at its peak performance.
Final Thoughts
With more power, new driver assisted technology, up to 4-different drive modes available at your finger tips, along with a new chassis and available high-performance carbon ceramic brakes; I say with confidence, the all-new DB12 will out perform competitors Ferrari Roma, and Bentley Continental GT on the road or race track.
Stay tuned for our full on-road review of the 2024 Aston Martin DB12.
