Overview

• The DB12 S becomes the new halo for the DB line, retaining the Mercedes‑AMG 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 tuned to 515 kW and 800 Nm.
• Quoted 0–100 km/h times drop to 3.5 seconds for the coupe and 3.6 seconds for the Volante as shift times improve by 50% with revised transmission mapping.
• Engineering updates include a stiffer rear anti-roll bar, tweaked toe and caster settings, Bilstein DTX damper software changes, and refined steering and electronic rear differential calibration.
• A new stainless steel exhaust is standard, with an optional titanium system that is 1.5 dB louder and 11.7 kg lighter, while carbon‑ceramic brakes are standard and save about 27 kg over steel.
• Exterior changes add gloss black accents, a dual‑element front splitter, fixed rear wing, and stacked quad exhaust outlets, with interior personalization that includes an industry‑first embossed‑debossed headrest logo option.
