Engine and Transmission
The DB12, touted as the world’s first Super Tourer, brings class-leading performance to the forefront with a 325 kmph top speed, and a 0-100 kmph time of 3.5 seconds all thanks to a 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 engine. The V8 puts out a massive 680 PS and 800 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox with Electronic Rear Differential.
Exterior Design
The DB12 boasts an exterior that marries classic Aston Martin design cues with modern touches. The front-end treatment is completely redesigned and gives a bold and dynamic visual impression. A wider stance and muscular surfaces further accentuate its presence on the road. The DB12 stands as a testament to timeless design, showcasing clean lines and overall aesthetics.
Interior Design
Step inside the DB12, and you’re greeted with a world of fine craftsmanship. The interior design has been meticulously crafted to create an ambiance of luxury and comfort. Clean lines and a sense of spaciousness dominate the cabin, providing an inviting environment for both driver and passengers.
One of the standout features of the interior is the bespoke, state-of-the-art infotainment system, designed and developed in-house by Aston Martin. This system seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technology with elegant interior design, enhancing the overall driving experience.
ADAS Features
The Aston Martin DB12 comes equipped with an array of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) designed to elevate safety and convenience. These features include Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Auto High Beam, Traffic Sign Recognition, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Assist, and Driver Drowsiness Detection. Additionally, a 360° 3D Surround Camera view enhances parking and maneuvering. These ADAS technologies collectively ensure a safer and more convenient driving experience for DB12 owners.
Personalization Options
Aston Martin understands that luxury car buyers appreciate the ability to personalize their vehicles. Therefore, the DB12 offers various options for personalization, from different paint finishes to interior trim choices. These options allow buyers to create a DB12 that is truly their own, reflecting their individual style and preferences.
