It is time to unleash your inner F1 driver and shake things up on your terms. After a fantastic first drive in the DB12 in Monaco last year, we decided to take the review process one step further by bringing the new DB12 into our real world. This means experiencing the Aston Martin lifestyle from East Hampton to the beaches of Montauk.
As always, craftsmanship remains at the core of all Aston Martins. With the new DB12, the hand-stitched Bridge of Weir hides create a cosseting space that embodies true British luxury. Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin, adds: “DB12 is our design definition of a Super Tourer. Historically, the GT code among most contemporary enthusiasts meant some semblance of comfort, speed, and refinement. But since the Aston Martin customer is no ordinary motorist, and we no longer simply design objects in and of themselves, we’ve fused everything on the DB12 — the handling, dynamics, powertrain, sense of space, and styling — and we’ve done it to the max through technology to deliver this new category of performance-design driving experience.”
Our DB12 made a statement in The Hamptons, exuding confidence with a 0-60mph time of just 3.5 seconds. Despite hitting traffic, we are of its impressive 202mph top speed, powered by a best-in-class 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 engine. The new DB12 caters to a new generation looking to be part of the legendary DB bloodline that defines true British style. Combining a scintillating driving experience with exceptional refinement, state-of-the-art technology, and indulgent luxury, the DB12 demands a new definition. Grand is not enough; this is the world’s first Super Tourer.
