The Aston Martin DB12 is all-new for 2024, replacing the similar DB11 that Aston Martin produced for six years. As a grand tourer, the DB12 blends sporty driving dynamics with enough comfort to cover a lot of ground. Aston Martin is revamping its entire lineup, and with a huge infusion of cash, expectations are high that some of its past missteps have been rectified.
Aston Martin is on the firmest financial ground in decades, allowing for more money to flow into development and refinement. The interior details are now refined enough to match the DB12's hefty price tag. The Mercedes-sourced infotainment that Aston Martin used in its cars is gone, and it's now a custom infotainment system built in-house. The Mercedes partnership, though, still stands in regard to engines. An AMG-developed twin-turbo V8 resides under the hood, while the previous V12 is now exclusive to the next Vanquish. The new DB12 also benefits from a completely reworked chassis that improves performance and driver confidence, finally making it worthy of consideration against other grand tourers.
Competitors to consider
Excellence doesn't come cheap, and the exotic grand-touring class is a prime example. With a starting price just shy of a quarter-million dollars, the DB12 is practically in a league of its own, but that doesn't mean there aren't any alternatives. The Ferrari Roma is as seductively styled as the DB12, as is the subtly redesigned Maserati GranTurismo, though the Maserati could save you as much as 100 grand. For more realistic budgets, there's the ever-present Porsche 911 and the new Mercedes-AMG GT, though they lack the rarity and impact of an Aston Martin.
