Engineering and performance
ENGINE
Engineered for uncompromising performance
DB12 S stands as the most powerful front-engine V8-powered non-hybrid model in its class. Featuring a recalibrated 8-speed automatic gearbox with rapid 120-millisecond shifts, ensuring immediate response. Handling is sharpened through improved damper software, optimised Electronic Differential (E-Diff), and a thicker anti-roll bar, delivering exceptional agility. Standard Carbon Ceramic Brakes enhance both stopping power and significantly reduce unsprung mass. Its assertive character is further amplified by a new muscular exhaust sound. This is a machine honed for absolute precision, with an indomitable attitude.
TRANSMISSION & POWERTRAIN
Impeccable response
The 8-speed automatic gearbox is recalibrated for a new level of intensity, with shift times cut by 43% to just 120 milliseconds. This heightened immediacy delivers a more urgent and visceral driving experience with every gear change.
HANDLING & STEERING
Command the corner
DB12 S features the next generation of corner braking control, which is integrated within the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system. Leveraging a 6-dimensional accelerometer and advanced brake slip control, the system predicts and manages load transfer through every corner. Giving a stronger turn-in and greater mid-corner agility to deliver the dynamic feel of a shorter wheelbase with the added ride refinement and stability of a grand tourer. Torque vectoring across the rear axle also delivers sharper, more precise cornering behaviour. Optimising balance, control and confidence.
With DB12 S we have carefully engineered a host of detailed changes which preserve refinement, boost performance and amplify driver engagement. This greater dynamic and performance bandwidth elevates the Super Tourer ethos to a thrilling new level.
- Simon Newton, Aston Martin Director of Vehicle Performance
Interior
AUDIO
Audible authority
In DB12 S, sound becomes part of the performance. Resonating from every corner. 1,170 watts of pure audio authority delivered through 15 speakers to create a wall of precision-tuned sound. From immersive soundscapes to the crystal clarity of QuantumLogic® Immersion™, it delivers a soundtrack as compelling as the V8’s own. One that amplifies every journey.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Performance focused
Engineered for driver focus, the DB12 S interior builds on that of the Super Tourer with a unique suite of additional S features. The Sports Plus seats with 3D sculpted headrests and S embroidery combine dynamic support with meticulous fit. With the additional option of carbon fibre performance seats, for the ultimate lightweighting and sporting feel. Further enhanced by the refined hip-to-heel ratio in the cabin, perfectly positioning the driver’s ankle and foot for minimal movement required. Allowing for faster and more precise pedal work.
INFOTAINMENT
Pixel precision
At the heart of the cabin sits Aston Martin’s proprietary infotainment system. A fully bespoke, multi-screen interface that is designed with razor-sharp responsiveness. Dual 10.25-inch Pure Black high-resolution displays offer ultra-responsive feedback with a 30-nanosecond reaction time. Delivering clarity and speed in equal measure. Wireless Apple CarPlay® Ultra and Android Auto™ integration ensure seamless connectivity, while the crisp, driver-focused layout reflects both car and driver’s performance intent.
Exterior
EXTERIOR
Distinctive physique
DB12 S builds on 75 years of DB heritage with an even more assertive and aerodynamic form. From the clear intent of the all-new dual aspect front splitter and bonnet louvres to the force of the fixed rear spoiler and the visual assertion of the quad exhaust system. Every element combines to forge the distinctive S physique, exuding precision, power, and presence. A promise of awe-inspiring performance. An S designed to lead. From every angle.
PROFILE
Aerodynamics with intent
Exclusive to DB12 S, a fixed carbon spoiler blade enhances the aerodynamic profile at the rear with a purposeful, assertive lip. Below this, a rear diffuser reduces lift to further support high-speed stability while visually extending the bodywork. Making the car appear lower to the ground, while elevating its presence. Optional painted fog-light housings add further brooding power. Making the DB12 S as commanding from behind as it appears from the front.
WHEELS
An exclusive evolution
The connection to the road begins with a wheel unique to the DB12 S. The 21-inch Evolution wheel is offered in four finishes, including the intricate Satin Black Diamond Turned and the fluid-like Liquid Titanium. Three further 21-inch designs provide alternative expressions of intent. Every option is fitted with the Michelin Pilot Sport S5 tyre, its compound bespoke to Aston Martin, engineered in partnership to translate every command into unflinching performance.
