Aston Martin DB12 S: the 202 mph coupe with a fierce V8
A sharper version of Gaydon’s GT: more power, a more aggressive look and one of the class’s best cabins.

The Aston Martin DB12 S raises the bar for the British grand tourer with a 4.0-litre V8 that feels even more eager and a top speed of 202 mph, equal to about 325 km/h. On the road and track it comes across as more purposeful than the standard DB12, while still keeping the brand’s trademark refinement.
The standout remains the cabin: top-class materials, modern controls and an overall feel that places the DB12 S among the most polished coupes in the segment. It is a super GT for buyers who want real performance, but also long-distance comfort and style.
