Aston Martin is upping the ante once again with the 2026 Aston Martin DB12 S, a redefined grand tourer that blends raw performance with refined luxury. Building on the already impressive DB12, the “S” badge signals a leap forward in speed, agility, and design.
Under the hood, the familiar Mercedes-AMG-derived 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 now pumps out an astonishing 690 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque—up from its predecessor’s already potent numbers. The result is a 0-60 mph sprint in just 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph, all while maintaining that signature Aston composure.
The DB12 S isn’t just about brute force. Engineers fine-tuned the transmission for 50% quicker shifts, improved launch control, and added a new titanium exhaust option that reduces the car’s weight by 25 pounds.
The exterior sees purposeful updates, including a more aggressive front splitter, bonnet louvers, and a reworked rear diffuser, all designed to enhance downforce and cooling. Inside, the cabin is an indulgent mix of anodized metals, Alcantara, and customizable leather trims, with seating and steering options tailored for both comfort and performance.
Available as both a coupe and a Volante convertible, the DB12 S represents Aston Martin’s perfect fusion of elegance and ferocity. It’s the car for those who demand grand touring with a sharper edge—proof that even royalty can evolve with style.
