Perspective
DB12 Coupé
The DB12 features a 4.0-litre M177 twin-turbo V8 engine with a power output of 680 PS (500 kW; 671 hp) and 800 N⋅m (590 lb⋅ft) of torque.[11] The increase in performance is achieved by optimized compression, larger turbochargers and improved cooling.[12] The DB12 accelerates from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 3.6 seconds, and it has a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).[3] The 5.2-litre V12 engine from the previous model is no longer offered.[13]
DB12 Volante
Aston Martin unveiled a convertible version of the DB12 called the DB12 Volante on 14 August 2023.[14] The Volante's roof is an eight-layer fabric top that can open in 14 seconds and close in 16 seconds, with this possible at speeds of up to 31 mph (50 km/h). The DB12 Volante is also claimed to have five per cent better torsional rigidity than the DB11 Volante.[15][16] The DB12 Volante accelerates from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 3.7 seconds, and has the same top speed as the coupé of 202 mph (325 km/h).[17]
DB12 S
On 8 October 2025, Aston Martin unveiled a more powerful variant called the DB12 S. It has a higher power output of 700 PS (515 kW; 690 hp) while torque remains unchanged at 800 N⋅m (590 lb⋅ft).[18] The transmission calibration is revised for 50 per cent improvements in shift speed, allowing the DB12 S to accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 3.5 seconds for the coupé, and 3.6 seconds for the Volante.[19] The top speed remains unchanged at 202 mph (325 km/h).[20]
