New Delhi: Aston Martin has recently introduced their latest DB12 S, a more performance-oriented version of its DB12 grand tourer. The Aston Martin DB12 S carries additional power, revised chassis tuning, and aerodynamic improvements. The model extends the company’s long-running S tradition, which stands for the top-performing derivative in its lineup, a practice dating back to the 1953 DB3S. DB12 S uses an updated version of Aston Martin’s 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine; this unit is now tuned to deliver 690 bhp and 800 Nm of torque.
700PS. 800Nm. The most powerful in its class. The new DB12 S.

The result is claimed to be 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, and the top speed of this car is 325 km/h. Changes include revised gearbox calibration for the quicker gear shifts, the carmaker claims that they are now 50% faster, and that the throttle response has also been improved. The launch control system has also been optimised for better traction and acceleration. The exhaust system has also been redesigned with the quad-tailpipe setup, tuned to deliver a deeper tone. Buyers are opting for titanium exhaust, which is 11.7kg lighter and slightly louder by 1.5dB, which comes at an added cost. The DB12 S receives several mechanical updates.
Aston Martin engineers have retuned the Bilstein DTX dampers for better roll control, while a stiffer rear anti-roll bar and revised suspension geometry improve agility. The car also comes with the standard Carbon Ceramic Brakes, 410mm front and 360mm rear discs, which reduce unsprung mass by 27kg compared to traditional steel brakes. This not only improves ride comfort but also enhances braking consistency during high-performance driving.
The DB12 S will be offered in both Coupe and Volante variants, with the deliveries expected to begin globally in early 2026. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but in the Indian market, it is expected to command a premium over the standard DB12, which currently costs close to Rs 5 crore. For the Indian enthusiasts, the DB12 S is likely to remain a rare sight when it is launched.
