The supercar can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 3.5 seconds. It has a top speed of 202mph. The engine is claimed to deliver 680PS/671bhp at 6000rpm and 800Nm/590lb ft between 2750-6000rpm; an increase of 34% compared with the outgoing DB11.
DB12 can also be ordered with a Carbon Ceramic Brake (CCB) option. Aston Martin is the first OEM application of the new Michelin Pilot Sport 5 S tyres – 275/35 R21 103Y front and 315/30 R21 108Y rear.
Inside, the DB12 has Aston Martin’s next-generation bespoke infotainment system and a formidable suite of connected technology and entertains with a spectacular surround sound system by new audio partner, Bowers & Wilkins.
The new system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and has a 10.25-inch display with 1970x720 high-resolution and ultra-responsive (30ms reaction time) capacitive touch control.
Engine on Martin DB12 is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and for the first time on an Aston Martin DB model, Electronic Rear Differential (E-Diff). This differential is linked to the car’s Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. Unlike a conventional Limited Slip Differential, it can go from fully open to 100% locked in a matter of milliseconds.
DB12 features 21-inch forged alloy wheels as standard; 9.5J front and 10.5J rear. There is a choice of three different designs – standard Five-Spoke and optional Multi-Spoke and Y-Spoke – in a range of colours and finishes: Five-Spoke in Gloss Silver; Multi-Spoke in Satin Platinum, Satin Black and Satin Black Diamond Turned; Y-Spoke in Satin Bronze, Satin Black and Satin Black Diamond Turned.
