The 2024 Aston Martin DB12 From Every Angle
Aston's all-new V8-powered DB12 broke cover late last night, and here's what it looks like.
Last night, Aston Martin unveiled the DB12, the V8-powered successor to its DB11 grand tourer. The new car features updated styling, a fancy new interior and all manner of mechanical changes to make this a worthy addition to Aston's DB line of cars.
But because most of us will never get the chance to drive one of these machines, we thought the next best option was to put together a gallery of all the wonderful angles and details you'll find across the DB12.
So sit back, relax and flick through our gallery showing the 2024 Aston Martin DB12 from every angle.
Grille-ing Season
The first thing you notice about the DB12 is its updated front end.
To give the DB12 a dash of "measured aggression," Aston Martin gave the new car a much larger-looking grille. The front end also features a re-worked splitter to improve aerodynamics, and new LED headlamps.
Details, Darling
In the styling department, DB12 draws a lot of similarities between the DBS and the outgoing DB11. Chief among those is the strakes along the top of the wheel arches.
These details have been a staple of the DB line for decades, and on the new car mirror the design on the latest DBS.
Looks Wheely Good
Inside, Aston has made ample changes to the car as well. Up front, there's a new infotainment system, based around a 10.25-inch screen that has been paired with a Bowers & Wilkins stereo. Thankfully, the touchscreen hasn't entirely replace the car's need for physical buttons, and there are plenty of tactile controls across the cabin.
Power And Performance
The big talking point with the DB12 is the loss of the DB line's signature V12 engine. Instead, the new car will only be available with a four-liter, twin-turbo V8 that produces 670 hp. Incidentally, that's actually more powerful than the V12 that was fitted in the DB11 that this model replaces.
This Is Tire-ing
To help get all that power onto the road, the DB12 will come with 21-inch alloy wheels, which are ensconced in a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 5 S tires.
It’s What’s Inside That Counts
Back in the car's cabin, you can expect the whole space to be filled with quilted leather, carbon fiber trim and Alcantara.
The DB12 Profile
In a first for its DB line, Aston Martin has given the DB12 an electronic rear differential, which has been paired with a new suspension system that also features intelligent adaptive dampers. This, coupled with the eight-speed automatic transmission, should make the car "punchier."
Little Wing... Mirror
The DB12 has been fitted with new, smaller wing mirrors, which Aston Martin says have been designed to improve aerodynamics.
Sounds Nice
I can't wait to hear the rumble that comes from these exhausts.
Looks Nice, Right?
What do you think of the new car's stylings? In my eye, it looks like a combination of the current DBS and DB11 with a much wider grille. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I was hoping for a little more.
Super Tourer
With the launch of the DB12, Aston Martin has coined a new phrase after badging it a "super tourer," is that a title that's going to take off?
Screens On Screens
In the cabin, there are no more intricate dials to tell you your speed, oil pressure or revs. instead, it's another screen behind the wheel.
New Car, New Badge
The DB12 is the first Aston Martin to be adorned with the company's new, simpler logo. What do you think of it?
Finale.
So, there you have it. What do you think to Aston'a latest and greatest? is it a worthy addition to the DB line, or were you expecting something else?
