Overview

The DB12 S is the more powerful, sharper-edged version of Aston Martin's DB12 grand tourer. Its hand-built 4.0L twin-turbo V8 makes 700 PS and 800 Nm, sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic, and it comes with standard carbon ceramic brakes and 2+2 seating.

Pros

700 PS / 800 Nm V8 with 0–100 km/h in 3.5 s and a 325 km/h top speed
Carbon ceramic brakes fitted as standard
Wide range of driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control and a 3D surround-view camera
Over-the-air updates and Apple CarPlay Ultra support
Eight-speed ZF automatic with shift times cut to 120 ms

Cons

No price published on the official pages
WLTP combined fuel consumption of 11.9 L/100 km (269 g/km CO2)
2+2 layout, so rear space is likely limited, and no boot capacity is published
Only two airbags (driver and front passenger) are listed
No independent crash-test rating is published

SWOT

Strengths

Most powerful front-engine V8 grand tourer in its class, according to Aston Martin
Hand-built twin-turbo V8 tuned for an extra 20 PS over the standard DB12
Standard carbon ceramic brakes and 21-inch forged wheels

Weaknesses

Combustion-only powertrain with high fuel consumption and CO2 output
Only two airbags are listed
Boot capacity and warranty terms are not given on the pages

Opportunities

Over-the-air updates can keep the car's software current
Apple CarPlay Ultra support is available, subject to market and model
The configurator allows extensive personalisation

Threats

No local pricing is published, so confirm the price and options with a dealer
Rival V8 and electrified super tourers may launch
Resale value for a high-output special variant is uncertain
