Aston Martin DB12 review. With 680bhp & monster torque, is this the Aston that beats Ferrari?

The new Aston Martin DB12 packs 680bhp and has a top speed of 202mph. But is it too powerful to be a true GT?

Strange how buttons have now become a luxury item

Looking in the glovebox, the slogan 'Save the Manuals' now has _two_ meanings.

All hail the Analogue Buttons!!!
Long may they continue!

[BobTheBlue]

Totally agree about the iPad in the dash being an awful idea, this looks great!

Hey Harry, love the videos.
I work for The Scottish Leather Group, we make and cut the Leather leather for Aston Martin.
We're currently cutting the new 12 shapes and it's fascinating how they differ from the older interiors..
Keep on doing what you do Sir.

Sobering moment when a new car with useable interior with actual buttons is a huge plus. Shows how many manufacturers have gone the wrong direction lately. What were they thinking?

[davidashton]

First new supercar in ages that makes me think “I want one”.

[SDKb]

The interior is a major step up from previous models - nice 👍🏻

[viktorlenart]

This is like an antidote to that horrendous BMW i5 for Harry and for us as well. From one of the worst interiors to one of the best.Good to see happy Harry again.

[BRMCaptChaos]

Analogue for the win, the watch analogy is a great demonstration.

[dad_jokes_ever]

Glad to see Harry likes the new interior because hes going to be seeing it in every Aston Martin he drives for the next 20 years

Those speed warning chimes boil my blood

[motorvatorv]

Product-led recovery. Aston absolutely back on track. Great to see them hitting the mark again with this gorgeous brute.

[armo]

💯 agree I would not buy any new car if that speed warning ⚠️ was made compulsory!

[aston-martin-internationalist]

Having driven one myself courtesy of Aston Martin Bristol, I thought it was excellent. Fabulous drive, the interior was on point. The power delivery and chassis setup was just perfect.

[pollard]

The perfect example of British engineering and styling. Fantastic by Aston, you wouldn't get bored of looking at that in the driveway.

[calumclark]

absolutely gorgeous car, as soon as harry stepped in the car he beamed a smile that said it all, DB12 and Ferrari Roma are the two top lookers to come out in the last 18months for me. Ironically the top 3 Harry says would be my dream modern garage, the Roma, DB12, and the Continental GT

The shot of you pulling away from the filming car as you leave the village is awesome. Keep up the good work guys.

Agree 100% on the looks, I especially like the styling at the rear with the "wide hips" look. A small disappointment for me is the use of a Mercedes derived V8 rather than Aston's own V12 but it appears the performance certainly doesn't disappoint! Hip hip hooray for the return of manual knobs and switches, AND a REAL, old fashioned owner's manual!👍Maybe I'm just a grumpy old git but I find thumbing through the manual of a new car or bike, with a cup of tea, really enjoyable.😀

Finally, an admission by someone who knows…….buttons and switches are more convenient to use than an iPad screen. Thank you Harry.👍
