Aston Martin Elevates the Thrill: Meet the New DB12 S

The iconic British coupe receives mechanical and aesthetic upgrades, making it one of the most captivating sports cars in its segment.

Aston Martin continues strengthening its high-performance lineup with the introduction of the DB12 S, joining the DBX S and Vantage S launched earlier this year. This new variant delivers enhancements that promise an even more thrilling driving experience, while maintaining the elegance and luxury that define the British brand.

Enhanced Power and Performance

Under the hood, the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 now produces 691 hp and 800 Nm of torque, a 20 hp increase over the standard DB12. Thanks to faster gear shifts, improved launch control, and suspension tuning, the coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, while the Volante version achieves it in 3.5 seconds. The top speed reaches 325 km/h, making the DB12 S one of Aston Martin’s fastest sports cars.

The new model comes standard with carbon-ceramic brakes, saving 27 kg of unsprung weight, along with an enhanced electronic rear differential, Bilstein DTX dampers, stiffer anti-roll bars, and optimized geometry for exceptional handling. Throttle and steering recalibration provide precision and dynamic control on every curve.

Exclusive Exterior and Interior Design

The DB12 S stands out visually with its dual-element front splitter, hood vents in glossy black or optional carbon fiber, fixed rear spoiler, new diffuser, and four stacked stainless steel exhaust tips. An optional titanium exhaust increases sound by 1.5 dB and reduces weight by 11.7 kg. Inside, highlights include the red driving mode dial, leather and Alcantara upholstery, and three interior trim configurations, emphasizing the model’s exclusivity.

The DB12 S will be available in both coupe and convertible versions, with deliveries expected in the first quarter of 2026. Although Aston Martin has not confirmed the official price, it is expected to exceed $275,000 (€257,200 at current exchange rates), positioning it as a benchmark in the luxury high-performance sports car segment.

With the DB12 S, Aston Martin not only enhances performance and technology but also reinforces its commitment to innovation, design, and driving experience for the most demanding sports car enthusiasts worldwide.
