The Aston Martin DB12 S raises the bar for the British grand tourer: its 4.0-litre V8 delivers strong performance up to 202 mph, but the real surprise is the cabin, finished to a standard few rivals can match. On the road, it feels fast, composed and noticeably more focused than the standard DB12.
It still keeps the character of a usable GT, but with a more sporting edge and a very high level of perceived quality. For anyone looking for a luxury coupe that blends serious performance with first-class comfort, the DB12 S stands out as a compelling choice.
