Aston Martin’s new DB12 has made it to the shores of Singapore. This new generation of the celebrated DB lineage brings about a significant transformation in sporting character and dynamic capability, establishing itself as a distinct category. The DB12 redefines luxury by seamlessly blending an exhilarating driving experience, refined craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and indulgent luxury. Grand is an understatement; this is the world’s inaugural Super Tourer.
The DB12 is shifting its rhythm. When compared to other DB models, this one represents Aston Martin’s pinnacle of engineering and design. This vehicle’s outstanding acceleration and handling are intended to please and reward even the most discerning motorists. The finely tuned chassis is paired with a top-of-the-line V8 Twin-Turbo powerplant, producing 680PS and 800NM. The result is a reborn Aston Martin that is at once more genuine, powerful, and passionate than ever before, making for an unrivaled driving experience.
Engineered to Maximise Performance
The DB12 is the result of a comprehensive design process that prioritised increasing both performance and emotional impact. A process that begins with substantial reinforcements of the chassis and culminates in Michelin Pilot Sport 5s rubber compounded to Aston Martin’s exacting standards. Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) and an Electronic Rear Differential (E-Diff) amplify the DB12’s agility and bring it to life on the most dynamic roads, while the all-new suspension system equipped with the latest adaptive dampers provides a solid foundation for control and connection.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in the DB12 is top-of-the-line; it uses six-axis inertia measurement to predict available grip, and the driver can select from five different modes to push the car safely and confidently to its limits. Simply put, no other Aston Martin in production has ever focused so intently on establishing new performance standards.
75 Years of Illustrious DB History
The release of the DB12 coincides with a pair of landmark anniversaries for Aston Martin in 2023: the company’s colossal 110th anniversary and the 75th anniversary of the legendary DB model line. More than a century of automotive fervour, state-of-the-art British innovation, and high-octane racing prowess can be traced back to the official formation of the partnership that became Aston Martin by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. It occurs during one of the most exciting times in Aston Martin’s 110-year existence, as the company has been on top of the podium throughout the 2023 Formula 1 season. Maintaining a presence at the highest levels of international racing competition is essential to the success of the brand.
The Aston Martin DB12 is the prototype for the company’s next generation of sports automobiles, which prioritises speed and luxury. As such, it ushers in a brand-new era. One in which all Aston Martin cars include the legendary power and handling, cutting-edge technology, and exquisite design and expert construction for which the company is known.
The new DB12 was described as a “statement car” by Aston Martin’s Group Chief Technology Officer, Roberto Fedeli. One that proudly displays Aston Martin’s superiority in speed, handling, engineering, and technology. As a result, it outperforms the competition in terms of power and efficiency.
