The DB12 S becomes the halo model of Aston Martin’s legendary DB bloodline, taking the driver-focussed DB12 and elevating it to exhilarating new heights. Joining the exclusive ranks of Aston Martin’s revived ‘S’ models – a tradition dating back to the glorious DB3S of 1953 – the DB12 S honours a proud heritage while pushing the very boundaries of what a luxury Super Tourer can achieve.
At the heart of DB12 S lies an even more potent version of the formidable 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, now producing 700PS and 800Nm of torque. The result is scintillating acceleration from 0-60mph in just 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 202mph. Lightning-fast shift times have been halved, which together with the new throttle calibration, delivers immediate response to driver inputs. The distinctive quad tailpipe system creates an unforgettable soundtrack.
An extensive suite of chassis enhancements maximises agility and driver engagement without compromising comfort or refinement. Recalibrated Bilstein DTX dampers work in harmony with a stiffer rear anti-roll bar and optimised suspension geometry to deliver exceptional poise and precision. Standard-fit Carbon Ceramic Brakes save 27kg in unsprung weight while offering increased stopping power and fade-free performance.
The DB12 S announces its elevated performance credentials through a new dual-element front splitter, gloss black bonnet louvres, fixed rear spoiler, and stacked quad tailpipes, all combining to create unmistakable visual drama. Hand-made ‘S’ badges below the fender strakes are a discreet but enduring mark of performance.
Inside, unique details include a red anodised finish for the drive mode controller, red seatbelts, and red contrast stitching, and a choice of three interior trims and the option of carbon fibre Performance seats.
