The DB12 S uses the same 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that comes mated to an 8-speed torque converter that send power to the rear wheels. The engine pushes a whopping 700 PS and 800 Nm of peak torque and it can dart from 0-100 kmph in just 3.4 seconds with a top speed locked at 325 kmph. It also gets a new quad tailpipe stainless steel sports exhaust system that makes revving the car an aural treat. And if that does not satisfy, you can go for the optional titanium exhaust system that amplifies the sound level by 1.5dB and reducing weight by 11.7 kg.
The upgrade list includes the standard fitment of Carbon Ceramic Brakes (CCB), a 410 mm rotor up front and a 360 mm rotor at the rear. It has also saved 27kg of unsprung weight compared to steel brakes. It also gets corner braking control system (CBC), Integrated Brake Slip Control, and Integrated Vehicle Control to name a few.
Exterior elements include new dual element front splitter and new bonnet louvres, the splitter visually lowers and widens generating downforce and guiding airflow in and around the front wheel arches to stabilise airflow and further reduce lift. The bonnet louvres are finished in gloss black or optional 2x2 Twill Carbon Fibre. It also carries S badges on the fenders just below each side strake.
The cabin gets red anodised finish to the knurled metal drive mode rotary controller, seatbelts, contrast stitching and headrest embroidery. Other noteworthy mentions include Alcantara heated sports steering wheel, and Aston Martin wings applied to the seat headrests. The DB12 S comes fitted with 16-way Sport Plus electric front seats as standard, and an optional Carbon Fibre Performance seat.
The DB12 S is now available for order in the global markets, and it can be had in two layouts - coupe and convertible 'Volante' guise. The deliveries for the global market is likely to start from Q1 of 2026. Whether, the DB12 S will make it to India is yet to be disclosed.
