The DB12, introduced for 2023, represents Aston Martin's repositioning of the DB lineup as a "super tourer," a step up in performance ambition from its DB11 predecessor. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 produced in collaboration with Mercedes-AMG, tuned by Aston Martin to produce 671 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox driving the rear wheels. The DB12 Volante, an open-top variant of the same generation, extends the lineup for buyers who prioritize open-air grand touring without a significant mechanical departure from the coupe. Built at Aston Martin's Gaydon facility, the DB12 continues the brand's tradition of hand-assembled bodywork and bespoke interior craftsmanship while incorporating a substantially updated infotainment and driver interface compared to its predecessor.
