The DB12 features an evolved design over its predecessor with new headlamps and a larger version of the signature Aston Martin grille. The car also looks proportionally larger than the DB11. However, the DB12’s cabin was developed in-house by Aston Martin and features an all-new design, unlike the DB11, which had an interior developed in part with Mercedes-Benz. The cabin gets an all-new 10.25-inch central screen with a host of switchgear beneath it.

Coming to the powertrain, the DB12 is equipped with a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine churning out 671 bhp and almost 800 Nm of peak torque. As a result of modified cam profiles, optimised compression ratios, larger diameter turbochargers, and increased cooling, the car churns 34 per cent more power than the V8 on the DB11 and even surpasses the older V12 in terms of numbers. This helps the car go from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.5 seconds and attain a top speed of 325 kmph. The powertrain is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and gets 5 drive modes including Wet, Individual, GT, Sport, and Sport+ modes.
