The Aston Martin DB12 Coupe represents a bold evolution in grand touring excellence, combining breathtaking performance with refined luxury in a package that Aston Martin boldly declares as the world’s first super tourer. At Galpin Aston Martin in Van Nuys, California, we are proud to showcase this extraordinary vehicle that redefines what a grand touring coupe can achieve. The DB12 is not simply an update to its predecessor but rather a complete reimagining of the grand touring concept, offering Los Angeles area drivers an unparalleled combination of power, technology, and British craftsmanship.
Unleashing Super Tourer Performance
Under the sculpted hood of the Aston Martin DB12 lies a handcrafted 4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces an astonishing 663 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. This formidable powerplant propels the DB12 from zero to sixty miles per hour in just three point five seconds, with a top speed exceeding two hundred miles per hour. Yet what truly distinguishes this grand touring coupe is how it delivers this performance with remarkable refinement and composure, whether you are navigating the Pacific Coast Highway or cruising through Beverly Hills.
The eight-speed automatic transmission has been specifically calibrated to provide lightning-quick shifts when you demand spirited performance, yet remains imperceptibly smooth during relaxed touring. The Rear Wheel Drive configuration, enhanced by an electronic rear differential, delivers engaging dynamics that reward skilled drivers while maintaining the stability and confidence expected of a proper grand tourer. When you experience the Aston Martin DB12 at Galpin Aston Martin, you will discover how seamlessly it transitions from docile luxury cruiser to exhilarating sports car with a simple flex of your right foot.
Design That Commands Attention
The exterior design of the Aston Martin DB12 showcases a more aggressive and contemporary interpretation of Aston Martin’s timeless aesthetic. The wider stance, pronounced front grille, and sculpted body panels create a presence that is both elegant and purposeful. Every line serves a function, from the aerodynamic improvements that enhance high-speed stability to the cooling ducts that manage the powerful V8 engine’s thermal requirements. Available through our Q by Aston Martin customization program, you can select from an extensive palette of exterior colors and wheel designs that make your DB12 uniquely yours.
Inside the cabin, the DB12 represents a significant leap forward in luxury and technology. The interior features the finest leather, carbon fiber trim, and metal accents, all assembled with the meticulous hand craftsmanship for which Aston Martin is renowned. The new infotainment system, which includes Apple CarPlay Ultra compatibility, provides intuitive control over vehicle settings, navigation, and entertainment. The sports seats offer exceptional support during spirited driving while remaining comfortable for transcontinental journeys, embodying the true spirit of grand touring.
Advanced Technology Meets Traditional Craftsmanship
What makes the Aston Martin DB12 a super tourer rather than simply a grand tourer is the integration of cutting-edge technology with traditional British craftsmanship. The adaptive suspension system continuously adjusts damping rates to provide the ideal balance between comfort and performance, while the advanced driver assistance features enhance safety without compromising the engaging driving experience. The enhanced chassis rigidity, achieved through extensive use of bonded aluminum construction, provides a solid foundation that benefits both handling precision and refinement.
The braking system features massive carbon-ceramic discs that deliver fade-free stopping power worthy of the DB12’s performance capabilities, while the Michelin Pilot Sport tires provide exceptional grip in all conditions. These components work in harmony with sophisticated electronic systems that optimize traction, stability, and braking force distribution. When you visit our service center for regular maintenance, our factory-certified technicians ensure that every system continues to operate at peak performance.
