The Super Tourer, Intensified
DB12 S is built for those who lead. A more focused, more powerful evolution of the Super Tourer, engineered to set the pace rather than follow it. Defined by the unmistakable S badge, DB12 S delivers heightened performance, sharpened dynamics, and a more assertive character across every surface and system.
With 690 horsepower, 590 lb-ft of torque, and a 0–60 mph time of just 3.4 seconds, DB12 S stands as the most powerful front-engine V8-powered non-hybrid model in its class. A Super Tourer with an intensified dynamic edge, designed for drivers who make every road their own.
ENGINEERED FOR UNCOMPROMISING PERFORMANCE
As the most powerful front-engine V8, non-hybrid Super Tourer in its class, the DB12 S elevates the platform with recalibrated transmission software, enhanced damper tuning, a fortified anti-roll system, and standard Carbon Ceramic Brakes.
Agile, assertive, and unrelenting—the DB12 S delivers a precision-honed dynamic experience with an unmistakably muscular character.
Class-Leading Power
The DB12 S is powered by a hand-built 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, delivering a class-leading 690 HP and 590 lb-ft of torque. Every element of the engine has been meticulously optimized to maximize responsiveness, acceleration, and sustained performance. With enhanced Launch Control calibration, DB12 S surges from 0–60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, setting a new benchmark for front-engine, rear-wheel-drive Super Tourers powered purely by combustion.
Precision Without Compromise
DB12 S sharpens its dynamic character through a thicker rear anti-roll bar, revised DTX damper calibration, and bespoke camber, toe, and caster settings that reduce body roll and improve agility without sacrificing ride refinement. Steering software updates enhance weight and feel, while revised E-Diff calibration enables faster acceleration out of corners, blending sports car precision with the composure expected of a true Super Tourer.
Command Every Corner
DB12 S features next-generation corner braking control integrated within the Electronic Stability Program, utilizing a 6D accelerometer and advanced brake slip control to precisely manage load transfer through every corner. Torque vectoring across the rear axle and a specially tuned Electronic Differential sharpen turn-in, improve mid-corner agility, and enhance driver confidence, while a fixed carbon rear spoiler delivers consistent downforce for greater stability across a wide range of speeds.
Confidence Under Pressure
Standard Carbon Ceramic Brakes deliver consistent, fade-resistant stopping power at temperatures approaching 1,472°F, while reducing unsprung mass by 60 lb for improved control and feedback. Exclusive 21″ Evolution wheels, engineered specifically for DB12 S, precisely balance load distribution and durability under extreme performance conditions. Each wheel design is paired with bespoke Michelin Pilot Sport S5 tires to ensure maximum grip, stability, and confidence at speed.
Immediate Response
A recalibrated eight-speed automatic transmission delivers heightened urgency, with shift times reduced by 43% to just 120 milliseconds for faster, more engaging gear changes. Power delivery is complemented by a new quad stainless-steel exhaust system that produces a deeper, more muscular sound, with an available titanium exhaust reducing weight and amplifying the Aston Martin V8 soundtrack. A firmer accelerator pedal unique to the S model provides sharper feedback and precise modulation.
Exterior
Distinctive physique
DB12 S builds on decades of DB heritage with a more assertive and aerodynamic design. From the dual-aspect carbon-fiber front splitter to the fixed rear spoiler and quad exhaust system, every element reinforces its performance intent.
A lower, wider stance defines the front profile, while deep sculpted channels manage airflow with precision. The result is a commanding presence from every angle.
Aerodynamics with Intent
A fixed carbon spoiler adds purposeful aerodynamic stability.
A redesigned diffuser reduces lift and visually elongates the rear stance.
Quad exhaust outlets, stacked in pairs with offset positioning, deliver the visual identity and voice of the S character. Optional fog-light housings accentuate its muscularity.
Presence, Perfected
A lower, wider stance is defined by an F1®-inspired dual-aspect carbon splitter and precision-cut airflow channels, enhancing both aerodynamics and visual impact. Optional carbon hood louvers extract heat directly from the engine bay to improve cooling and performance, while the distinctive six-block LED daytime running lights sharpen the front profile with a refined Aston Martin signature.
The Mark of a Bloodline
Gloss Black sills visually lower the stance while handcrafted, red-enamel-filled “S” fender badges confirm its high-performance pedigree. The Aston Martin wordmark engraved on the iconic side strake completes the silhouette.
An Exclusive Evolution
The unique 21″ Evolution wheel, offered in multiple finishes including Satin Black Diamond Turned and Liquid Titanium, forms the foundation of DB12 S posture and grip.
Paired with bespoke Michelin Pilot Sport S5 tires, every command is translated into immediate, confident performance.
Interior
Built for Focus
Step inside and the DB12 S cockpit reveals a fusion of technical precision, artisan craftsmanship, and performance intent. Every surface, stitch, and interface has been honed for control, focus, and immersive luxury.
Built for focus
Inside the DB12 S, precision and craftsmanship converge to create a cockpit engineered for driver engagement. Alcantara®-trimmed surfaces, Sports Plus seats, and a driver-centric layout reinforce its performance intent.
Unique S details include optional red anodized controls, contrast stitching, S treadplates, and lightweight materials throughout. Every element is designed to support control, focus, and connection.
Audible Authority
A 1,170W, 15-speaker audio system surrounds the cabin with precision-calibrated sound.
From QuantumLogic® Immersion to Aluminum Double Dome tweeters, the system creates an acoustic presence that rivals the V8 itself.
Pixel Precision
At the heart of the cabin is Aston Martin’s bespoke infotainment system, featuring dual 10.25-inch Pure Black displays with ultra-fast responsiveness. Wireless Apple CarPlay Ultra® and Android Auto™ ensure seamless connectivity, while the clean, performance-oriented layout mirrors the character of the car itself.
A global debut
Apple CarPlay Ultra® integrates directly across both the central display and driver instrument cluster, providing vehicle data such as speed, RPM, and gear selection alongside navigation and media. This world-first integration delivers an unmatched blend of digital personalization and performance-focused design.
