One of the last of the mighty Aston Martin internal-combustion coupes is a fitting farewell.
speed up time, exhilarate time in the seat, and make you feel completely different in that respect,” said Alex Long, Aston’s director of product and market strategy. “We really see that our strength and opportunity is to combine the very best of the aspects , but with this incredibly strong performance arm.”
So, if you were being generous, the new DB12 combines the very best of every interesting and fun luxury super car on the market. And that assessment might not be far off. Much of the DB12’s body-in-white, its chassis, is carryover. It’s been stiffened up strategically, particularly in the front, and many if not most of the bushings that hold the suspension to the body are new. The suspension pickup points are the same, the doors and the roof are the same, but the rest of the body is all-new.The grille is larger and more upright to accommodate both cooling air and pedestrian impact standards. The car is wider—six mm in front and 22 rear.
“If you think of DB11, the surfaces are relatively flat, but the line is much lower,” said Design Director Marek Reichman. “Curiously, by bringing the hood up and making the emblem—the badge—more prominent, you actually get the sensation of a longer car… much more like a fist punching through the air.”
Under that new, more powerful hood is a new, more powerful engine. The AMG-based 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 makes 671 hp at 6000 rpm and 590 lb-ft of torque between 2750 and 6000 revs. It’s not just a straight-up AMG crate motor, though.“We had a choice of engines, and we had a choice of the way we tuned it,” said Simon Newton, director of vehicle performance, whose career includes stints at Lotus, Bentley, and even Williams F1.
