2024 DB12 Coupé Review: The Perfect Aston Martin

🚨 RBR Partners

---

After 110 years of #AstonMartin, and 75 years of the DB name - A New Era of Aston Martin begins starting with the so called “Super Tourer” The #DB12!

And don’t write it off as a mere facelift, as the changes here are the first sign of Aston really jumping ahead with their new #supercar line up. It starts a chain reaction with the other Aston Models, with the new vantage following suit and launched just NOW an updated DBX 707!

So DB12 starting a new era, with a unified approach across the brand. But really, this is the flagship Aston. So we’re going to leave no stone unturned today we will: Divulge all the secrets of the DB12 under the skin, a big interior breakdown of what’s changed including a look at the new 2024/2025 DBX 707 interior huge upgrade!

And then the drive: is this the worlds first Super Tourer? We will analyse this, how it stacks up to its rivals, and even explore the return of the V12!

So, is this the world's first Super Tourer? It’s a bold claim from a company, and a car series in the DBs that while always class leading in design, it’s always been a series hindered in some way

In the past that was a due to the chassis and drivability being not as dynamic as rivals, along with basic car infotainment. DB11 era solved much of this, with some massive advances thanks to the bonded aluminium platform, and a team behind the scenes bringing in proper driving dynamics across the range. But still, every car was on the back foot thanks to dated interior systems which were hand me downs from Mercedes!

DB12 changes all this - with Aston’s First ever in-house infotainment system, and doubling down on the racing focus the previous gen started in such a successful way!

You can partly thank the new CEO and CTO - Amadeo Felisa and Roberto Fedeli, who have come over from main rival Ferrari, and replaced ex AMG boss Mr Moers. Hence perhaps why, the bold claims of the first Super Tourer are made, while the Roma already exists! Punchy! Let’s see if DB 12 can live up to it!

The performance upgrades are massive. In the DB11 this V8 made 528bhp - But now it’s a huge 680PS! That’s way more power than even the old DB11 AMR’s V12 managed!

I love how the screens look properly integrated and not just tacked on iPads.

[CHRlS.G]

Aston Martin is building dream cars right now 🔥

[Automann-TV]

First: Very good presentation of the car👌
Second: That spec is gorgeous🤯

[MuppetsShw]

It's crazy how much better and more elegant it looks compared to 12 Cylindri

[sapnupuas]

love the front end. And the interior is such a huge upgrade compared to the db11

[paultucker]

An absolutely BRILLIANT review, thank you! In fact, I think this is the best DB12 review to date (and, trust me, I've watched 'em all!). Aston Martin should have invited you down to the South of France for those first drives a few months back, but your review has been more than worth the wait, PLUS its more relevant as you've driven it on UK roads, the home of Aston Martin. I have the serious hots for this car. I've always been a big fan of Aston Martin, but there cars were always compromised, most recently in terms of interior tech. But the DB12 seems to be the first AM where you don't have to make excuses. I also appreciate you're on the ball and included the camo'd DBS replacement (likely just reverting to just the Vanquish DBS Vanquish). If that car is a DB12 turned up to 11 with a 824hp my word! In the meantime, I've had fun on the AM configuration. "My" DB12 is in Aston Racing Green, with the bronze wheels and a black and tan interior. Just a pity my bank balance is more Ford Mustang than Aston Martin DB12 lol. Again, thank you for the brilliant video 🙂

[LPOneThree]

The first video I've ever seen of yours. Very impressive. Very competent review and clever use of switching between car animations, I've never seen that before.

[shenkalos]

i love your editing. is the reason why i subscribe

[mesterorange]

What i love about it is the console/ instruments integratiin, looks so good in an era of ipads randomly glued

[karlin_oriley]

This car is SO beautifully designed inside and outside. Big WOW here.
I'd take a DB12 over a Roma anytime. So much more quality and attention to details.

The new CEOs are killing it. The new AMs are just knocking it out of the park.
DB12, new Vantage, new Vanquish: all of them are sick as hell!

Awesome review again and I laughed out loud when you made that spiderman joke 😅.
So glad I found this channel yesterday. I'm addicted!

[RRRVanquish]

New Vanquish is the car I'm excited for

[violetautos]

Never been crazy about Astons, but this looks absolutely stunning

[SC-rcrs]

The interior vfx are really nice. I wouldn’t have thought it would be useful but when you showed the old interior superimposed on the new one, I really saw the value in it. Great job.

[rare]

Lottery win purchase. I absolutely love it.

[johnhallworth]

Very thorough review with professional standard presentation and excellent effects to aid explanations. Brilliant, hope to see many more.

[Paul-twyi]

This car has me having 2nd thoughts about a Porsche 911 being my dream car.

[cephasmakuzva]

Beautiful as always. Looks like 177. Thats a great thing. Looks mean and buff. The Interior now is a game changer. Its absolutely beautiful, modern and classy. A huge lift.

[Nutsaboutcars]

Great review - interior fx are a brilliant touch, really highlights the difference between old and new. Just need Aston to lend me one for Le Mans this year.

[skip-intros]

Stumbled on your Channel. Enjoy your format - stands out! Liked your comparison to the DB12's contemporaries - perhaps you might consider adding a price comparison too... for context 🤔

[ddmirolli]

For those of us who simply found your channel bc of the car we're researching and aren't necessarily car guys the animations are GREAT but please label them in the future. Lots of switching back and forth resulted in me just zonning out bc I didn't know which versions I was looking at (particularly at the 9 min mark)
