680hp and 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds sound good, but those aren't even the best bits about Aston's new super tourer.
– the first all-electric 5 Series. That means it’s very exciting, but how we’re telling you about another new car. And because there’s no hint of electrification involved and it’s got 'twelve' in its name , it’s exciting for different reasons. This is the very exciting Aston Martin DB12.we’ve said about it before
There’s a Germanic, Porsche-like appearance to the height and angle of the button-festooned centre console; it's all a bit 992, including the gear selector. But the new design is also much cleaner than before, with more of a Scandi flavour, yet still imbued with the opulence of traditional British tailoring. Those who wish to enhance this even further can employ the services of the designers and craftspeople at Q by Aston Martin, to create something fully bespoke.
Its 10.25-inch screen offers 1970x720 high-resolution, reacts to inputs within 30ms, and features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The sat nav can be programmed remotely via an app on your smartphone, which also does other tricks like locking and unlocking the car. The DB12 comes with a 4G ‘all-new connected car ecosystem’, which supports, among other things, over-the-air updates. Admittedly, none of this is ground-breaking, but it’s ground-breaking for Aston.
But will it be good to drive? Well, the DB11 started off poorly in that respect. Despite rapturous applause from journalists at its launch, hailing it as thethe original DB11 had very little traction, iffy body control, on-off brakes and a spikey throttle response. Thankfully, Aston knew its car needed more work, and so they’ve been gradually improving it ever since. Successive iterations - particularly the V8 - and then the DBS have shown they know what to do, too.
The steering’s not the only element to have been retuned for better feel. The brake servo has as well, for a firmer pedal, and you can order the DB12 with carbon ceramic discs that save 27kg of unsprung mass over iron discs. Aston Martin claims to be the first ‘OEM application’ for Michelin’s new Pilot Sport 5s tyres, which for the DB12 are pretty enormous: 275/35 R21 front and 315/30 R21 rear.
