Aston Martin Launches DB12 S, Sharpened 700 PS Super Tourer

Orders open now for coupé and Volante with first deliveries due in early 2026 as pricing remains undisclosed.

Overview

  • The DB12 S uses a 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 tuned to 700 PS and 800 Nm, delivering 0–100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and a 325 km/h top speed.
  • Powertrain and chassis revisions include shorter shift times, a reworked launch control, a recalibrated electronic rear differential, revised suspension geometry and updated Bilstein DTX damper software.
  • Standard carbon‑ceramic brakes (410 mm front, 360 mm rear) cut roughly 27 kg of unsprung mass, with further ABS refinements claimed.
  • Exterior and cabin changes add a two‑piece front splitter, new hood vents, a fixed rear spoiler and stacked quad exhausts, plus a red‑anodized drive‑mode knob and sport seating options.
  • An optional titanium exhaust trims about 11.7 kg and raises sound by approximately 1.5 dB, as Aston Martin expands its high‑performance 'S' derivatives across the range.
