Aston Martin DB12 review
WHAT'S THE VERDICT?
“The DB12 finally has the spread of talents and abilities to make it a viable alternative to the best rivals out there”
The DB12 is the most accomplished Aston Martin we’ve driven in years. It finally has the spread of talents and abilities to make it a viable alternative to the best rivals out there. It sits squarely in the middle ground between the Ferrari Roma and Porsche 911 Turbo on one side, and the Bentley Conti GT on the other. That may make its claim to be a super-tourer look a bit empty, but just because it’s not the sportiest car in its class doesn’t mean it’s not the best. We’ll be trying to get it together with them soon.
Beyond that, the styling sells the DB12 short. What looks like nothing more than a good facelift conceals a cabin that’s night-and-day better than the old DB11, and dynamics that, while not upsetting comfort at all, have given the DB12 newfound athleticism, control and purpose. It’s a very convincing machine.

Aston Martin DB12 Volante
Aston Martin is proud to introduce the new DB12 Volante. Companion to the recently introduced DB12 Coupe - the first in the marques next generation of sports cars, this open-top model combines spectacular Super Tourer performance and handling with the irresistible sensory thrills of roof-down driving.
A class-defining car of unmatched elegance and sporting character, DB12 Volante is the latest addition to Aston Martin's illustrious tradition of high-performance convertibles. Timeless qualities of style and craftsmanship have been revitalised by advanced technologies and state-of-the-art engineering, while the driving experience has been honed to its keenest possible edge.
Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Amedeo Felisa, said: "For many of our customers, roof down driving is the greatest pleasure. Aston Martin Volantes have captured that emotion and expressed it in unique style for more than six decades. With the new DB12 Volante we have changed the rules, creating a car that intensifies those feelings by preserving all the purity and exceptional sporting capabilities of the DB12 Coupe. A rare and true sporting convertible in every respect, this is a car to challenge preconceptions and find a new generation of Volante customer".
Developed in parallel with its Coupe stablemate, Aston Martin DB12 Volante boasts the same game-changing design, engineering and technology advances made by this latest evolution of Aston Martin's most distinguished nameplate. With class-leading power and performance and purebred sports car dynamics, it is a transformative evolution. One that unashamedly positions the DB12 Volante as a true driver's car first and foremost.
