Aston Martin DB12 S Unveiled: Sharper, Stronger, More Striking

Aston Martin has unveiled the new DB12 S, a model that brings performance and luxury into perfect balance. Carrying the power of the “S” badge back onto the road once again, the DB12 S sits at the very top of the DB12 series, delivering more power, agility, and driving sensation than ever before.

Following the legacy of the legendary “S” lineage that began with the DB3S in 1953, and continued with iconic models such as the Vantage S, Vanquish S, and Rapide S, the new DB12 S carries this powerful heritage into the future with modern engineering, advanced technology, and flawless craftsmanship.

A Statement from Aston Martin Türkiye Chairman Nevzat Kaya

Commenting on this special model, Nevzat Kaya, Chairman of the Board of Aston Martin Türkiye, emphasized that the DB12 S elevates the brand’s character to a new level:

“The DB12 S truly excites us. Continuing the S tradition with the technology of the modern era, this car represents a major step forward over its predecessor — both in performance and driving dynamics. Its power, elegance, and craftsmanship perfectly reflect the essence of the brand. We believe that automotive enthusiasts in Türkiye will show great interest in this exceptional model.”

Engineering Excellence

The DB12 S features an all-aluminum 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, producing 700 PS of power and 800 Nm of torque, delivering unmatched performance in its class. Accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 325 km/h, the DB12 S proves itself to be a true grand tourer.

Equipped with an enhanced suspension system, recalibrated electronic differential, optimized transmission software, and carbon-ceramic brakes, the DB12 S offers outstanding balance and control, inspiring confidence both on track and on the road. The new Corner Braking Control system ensures perfect stability by maintaining the car’s line even under braking in corners.

Compared to the DB12, the DB12 S receives comprehensive updates not only in performance but also in design and aerodynamics. A new dual-layer front splitter, fixed rear spoiler, reshaped diffuser, and quad exhaust outlets give the model a more aggressive stance and increased downforce. Engine mapping and throttle response have been sharpened, while suspension revisions make for a more dynamic driving character.

New 21-inch Evolution wheels, optional carbon-fiber exterior details, and distinctive red S badges make the DB12 S instantly recognizable.

Design and Interior

In design, Aston Martin’s signature elegance meets the dynamic lines of high performance. The dual-layer splitter, fixed rear spoiler, powerful rear diffuser, and quad exhausts enhance both the visual and aerodynamic presence of the vehicle. The new wheels, paired with optional carbon-fiber body details, deliver a more agile look and reduced weight. The DB12 S is available in both Coupe and Volante body styles, offering a perfect balance between performance and lifestyle.

Inside, the combination of British handcraftsmanship and modern technology defines the cabin. A driver-focused layout surrounded by elegant lines instantly conveys the Aston Martin identity. The S-embroidered seats with 2,500 precision stitches highlight the brand’s devotion to detail.

The interior can be configured with Accelerate or Inspire S themes, blending Alcantara® and semi-aniline leather for a mix of sportiness and luxury. Optional features such as a Bowers & Wilkins audio system, carbon-fiber trim, and the S Interior Highlights package with red accents elevate personalization to the next level.

The DB12 S embodies Aston Martin’s “Super Tourer” vision — combining power, elegance, and engineering perfection in one form. Sharper, stronger, and more expressive, the DB12 S is more than a car; it’s a statement of character.
