The 671 hp Aston Martin DB12, Robb Report’s 2024 Car of the Year.
-
The cabin includes a new and vastly improved infotainment system, developed in-house by Aston Martin, and the option of a 1,170-watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system with 15-speakers.
-
Pairing a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the DB12 can send zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 202 mph.
-
The DB12’s electric power-assisted steering made quick and effortless work of track drills, abetted by the optional carbon-ceramic brake system.
-
Quilted leather, fastidious hand stitching, and rich surfaces are standard fare inside the cabin.
-
The DB12 succeeds the seven-year-old DB11’s design with improvements both visceral and visual, while retaining signature styling that is pure Aston Martin.
-
Distancing itself from its predecessor, the DB12 showcases fresh composite-panel bodywork, an uprated chassis, and a revised suspension.
-
The DB12 quickly overtook the competition during the latest edition of Robb Report’s yearly automotive contest.
