Engineered for uncompromising performance
DB12 S stands as the most powerful front-engine V8-powered non-hybrid model in its class. Featuring a recalibrated 8-speed automatic gearbox with rapid 120-millisecond shifts, ensuring immediate response.
Handling is sharpened through improved damper software, optimised Electronic Differential (E-Diff), and a thicker anti-roll bar, delivering exceptional agility. Standard Carbon Ceramic Brakes enhance both stopping power and significantly reduce unsprung mass. Its assertive character is further amplified by a new muscular exhaust sound.
This is a machine honed for absolute precision, with an indomitable attitude.

BRAKE
Carbon confidence

Carbon Ceramic Brakes (CCB) are fitted as standard on the new DB12 S. Delivering a linear, unwavering response that handles extreme conditions with expert control. Withstanding temperatures approaching 800°C, the CCB system offers confidence under hard braking, allowing the driver to remain focused on the road ahead.
Exterior
Distinctive physique.
Front
A lower, wider, more powerful stance is defined by an exclusive new F1®-inspired dual-aspect front splitter, finished in carbon fibre and aerodynamically honed for downforce and high-speed stability. Above, the iconic Aston Martin grille projects an assertive expression, while deep-cut channels sculpt the bodywork, channelling air with brutal efficiency. A more dominant presence from every angle.
Wheels
The connection to the road begins with a wheel unique to the DB12 S. The 21-inch Evolution wheel is offered in four finishes, including the intricate Satin Black Diamond Turned and the fluid-like Liquid Titanium. Three further 21-inch designs provide alternative expressions of intent. Every option is fitted with the Michelin Pilot Sport S5 tyre, its compound bespoke to Aston Martin, engineered in partnership to translate every command into unflinching performance.
Rear
Exclusive to DB12 S, a fixed carbon spoiler blade enhances the aerodynamic profile at the rear with a purposeful, assertive lip. Below this, a rear diffuser reduces lift to further support high-speed stability while visually extending the bodywork. Making the car appear lower to the ground, while elevating its presence. Optional painted fog-light housings add further brooding power. Making the DB12 S as commanding from behind as it appears from the front.
Side
The side profile of DB12 S is sharpened by unique Gloss Black sills that visually lower the car’s stance. Signature ‘S’ badging sits discreetly on each fender. Chrome-plated, brass-forged and filled with red glass enamel. Available in bright or dark chrome to match the exterior trim, a mark of its high-performance bloodline. Handcrafted by Vaughtons, time-honoured British manufacturers of the bespoke Aston Martin wings. Completing the look, an inscription of the Aston Martin wordmark features on the iconic side strake
