DB12 S

Engineered for uncompromising performance

DB12 S stands as the most powerful front-engine V8-powered non-hybrid model in its class. Featuring a recalibrated eight-speed automatic gearbox with rapid 120-millisecond shifts, ensuring immediate response. Handling is sharpened through improved damper software, optimized Electronic Differential (E-Diff), and a thicker anti-roll bar, delivering exceptional agility. Standard Carbon Ceramic Brakes enhance both stopping power and significantly reduce unsprung mass. Its assertive character is further amplified by a new muscular exhaust sound. This is a machine honed for absolute precision, with an indomitable attitude.

ENGINE

A Class of it's Own

Pure potential, realized. The hand-built 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 of the DB12 S is elevated to a new threshold of performance. Every tunable parameter is optimized, pushing power to a class-leading 690 HP and delivering a relentless 590 lb-ft of torque.

HANDLING

Command The Corner

DB12 S features the next generation of corner braking control, which is integrated within the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system. Leveraging a six-dimensional accelerometer and advanced brake slip control, the system predicts and manages load transfer through every corner. Giving a stronger turn-in and greater mid-corner agility to deliver the dynamic feel of a shorter wheelbase with the added ride refinement and stability of a grand tourer. Torque vectoring across the rear axle also delivers sharper, more precise cornering behavior. Optimizing balance, control, and confidence.

BRAKES

Carbon Confidence

Carbon Ceramic Brakes (CCB) are fitted as standard on the new DB12 S. Delivering a linear, unwavering response that handles extreme conditions with expert control. Withstanding temperatures approaching 1,472°F, the CCB system offers confidence under hard braking, allowing the driver to remain focused on the road ahead.

DB12 S is a statement car. One that asserts Aston Martin’s position as a leader in performance, dynamics, engineering and technology.

AUDIO

Audible Authority

DB12 S, sound becomes part of the performance. Resonating from every corner. 1,170 watts of pure audio authority delivered through 15 speakers to create a wall of precision-tuned sound. From immersive soundscapes to the crystal clarity of QuantumLogic® Immersion™, it delivers a soundtrack as compelling as the V8’s own. One that amplifies every journey.

DRIVER ENVIRONMENT

Performance Focused

Engineered for driver focus, the DB12 S interior builds on that of the Super Tourer with a unique suite of additional S features. Optional red anodized aluminum drive mode rotary, red seat belts, and contrast stitching define the S identity while S treadplates mark the threshold. Lightweight Alcantara® trim and optional chevron quilting add sporty intensity. A new carbon-fiber surround on the Driver Instrument Cluster completes the performance-orientated environment.

The Sports Plus seats with 3D sculpted headrests and S embroidery combine dynamic support with meticulous fit. With the additional option of carbon-fiber performance seats, for the ultimate lightweighting and sporty feel. Further enhanced by the refined hip-to-heel ratio in the cabin, perfectly positioning the driver’s ankle and foot for minimal movement required. Allowing for faster and more precise pedal work.

CENTRE CONSOLE

Pixel Precision

At the heart of the cabin sits Aston Martin’s proprietary infotainment system. A fully bespoke, multi-screen interface that is designed with razor-sharp responsiveness. Dual 10.25″ Pure Black high-resolution displays offer ultra-responsive feedback with a 30-nanosecond reaction time. Delivering clarity and speed in equal measure. Wireless Apple CarPlay Ultra® and Android Auto™ integration ensure seamless connectivity while the crisp, driver-focused layout reflects both car and driver’s performance intent.

Distinctive physique

DB12 S builds on 75 years of DB heritage with an even more assertive and aerodynamic form. From the clear intent of the all-new dual aspect front splitter and hood louvers to the force of the fixed rear spoiler and the visual assertion of the quad exhaust system. Every element combines to forge the distinctive S physique, exuding precision, power, and presence. A promise of awe-inspiring performance. An S designed to lead. From every angle.

What our customers say?

Had a fantastic purchasing experience with James! I'd initially enquired about an unavailable vehicle but he had matched me to a few different options that I ended up liking more than my initial enquiry! Really easy to talk to and made the negotiation stage very painless. A lovely handover experience also after a 200 mile journey. Very much worth the trip and couldn't recommend the dealership and James more.

Sam Huskisson, 12/09/26

Attended today (8 Sept 2028) to a lovely welcome, great staff and an excellent experience getting a small job done on my DBSs. First class all round and highly recommended!

tim hodgson, 08/09/26

Steve Dodds, 08/09/26

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Aston Martin Newcastle, and I honestly couldn’t fault the experience from start to finish. A special mention has to go to James, the sales executive, who was absolutely fantastic. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and, most importantly, genuinely helpful throughout the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble, and he took the time to make sure everything was exactly right without ever putting any pressure on me. The whole experience of purchasing my Aston Martin was made incredibly enjoyable by James and the team. Their attention to detail, communication and customer service were first class, and they made me feel like a valued customer throughout. If you’re considering buying an Aston Martin, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Aston Martin Newcastle and James. A superb dealership, a fantastic buying experience and exceptional customer service. Thank you, James, for making the whole experience such a memorable...

Amazing service.

Steve Brett, 21/08/26

19.8.26. Many thanks to Aston Martin at Silverlink. We were made to feel welcomed and valued as potential future customers. Being able to spend time around the cars was a pleasure and the test drive, a great experience. May I make special mention of Keith. He was very welcoming and approachable. More importantly, he planted the seed of future Aston Martin ownership. I leave Aston Martin this morning with an achievable aspiration - I will return and own an Aston Martin. Thanks Keith James, Joanna and Ollie.

Joanna Qurbani, 19/08/26

Keith was unbelievable to deal and I’m absolutely over the moon with my new car.

Ray Hope, 17/08/26

My engagement with Paul was outstanding. The consultative approach he took ensured I got the right car for my needs and also helped give me the confidence I needed to move away from Porsche. I couldn’t fault any aspect of the experience. Sam was exceptionally clear and helpful when I came to understanding the finance options and when I collected the car Chris ensured it felt very special. This was the kind of experience I was hoping for when buying an Aston Martin

James Hunnybourne, 11/08/26

We just bought a car from James Thomas. He is a really nice guy to deal with and we were glad we decided to go with Aston Newcastle. Setting up appointments was easy and also the mid purchase details and questions were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Good job.

Rob Cross, 04/08/26

Recently bought a 2026 Aston Martin Vantage S and the team were incredible from start to finish. Malcolm was really welcoming from Day 1 and that extended throughout the entire purchasing process. In addition, my wife and I were made to feel special as it was our first Aston, with a great stay at Seaham Hall the night before and being picked up in a DBX 707. We would highly recommend and we'll be using AM Newcastle again due to the level of hospitality and service

Niall Mann, 03/08/26
