Aston Martin DB12 S: a GT that doesn't need to shout to run
Refined technology
The foundation remains the familiar 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine manufactured by Mercedes-Benz's AMG division, but it now delivers 700 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and a staggering 800 Nm of maximum torque between 2,750 and 6,000 rpm. This represents a 20 hp increase over the standard DB12, though the difference isn't solely about raw power. Aston Martin has also revised the throttle calibration, Launch Control, and the eight-speed automatic transmission, with shift times reduced by nearly 50%
