The DB12 is the first astonmartin from the Lawrence Stroll era, with its sights firmly set on Bentley and Ferrari –
A pair of air curtains have been incorporated around the front wheels to reduce drag, and the new grill features larger apertures for engine and brake cooling. Its aerodynamic requirements are better integrated, too, from a front splitter that forms part of the car’s design flow and at the rear an aeroblade has been developed that’s deployed on demand.
On the subject of suspension, considerable upgrades have been made to the car’s dynamic performance, predominantly to the adaptive dampers that have a much wider bandwidth and a 500% increase in force distribution. Double wishbones are used at the front with a multi-link set-up at the rear and revised damper calibration allows for improved response and better body control across the revised driver modes. Bushings, geometry, anti-roll bars and spring rates have all been upgraded too.
New 21-inch forged alloy wheels are fitted with Michelin’s new Pilot Sport 5S tyre, and Aston Martin has worked to create a bespoke compound just for the DB12. Behind the new wheels are the DB11’s 400mm and 360mm front and rear cast-iron brakes with a re-tuned booster. Carbon-ceramics offered as an option.-AMG sourced 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. Modified cam profiles, an 8.6:1 compression ratio - down from 10.
