Overview

Launched in 2023 as the successor to the DB11, the Aston Martin DB12 represents a significant leap forward. Aston Martin called it the world’s first “Super Tourer” — a car that transcends traditional grand tourer boundaries by delivering more than 670 hp, near-supercar dynamics, and a thoroughly modernised cockpit featuring a dual 10.25-inch screen layout and Aston Martin’s new infotainment architecture.

The 4.0-litre AMG-sourced twin-turbocharged V-8 now produces 680 hp and 800 Nm, compared to 510 hp in the DB11 V8. The chassis has been thoroughly recalibrated for sharper responses while maintaining the GT ride quality expected of the nameplate. A Volante (convertible) joined shortly after the Coupe launch.

For Baku buyers, the DB12 is the most compelling current-production Aston Martin grand tourer — blending the technology and performance buyers now expect with the hand-crafted character that makes Aston Martin special.

Should You Buy an Aston Martin DB12?

The DB12 is the most complete grand tourer Aston Martin has ever produced — combining 680 hp performance, modern connectivity, and improved interior quality in a genuinely stunning body. It represents the strongest case for new-car Aston Martin ownership.

If the V-12 is non-negotiable for you, the DBS remains available. But for most buyers seeking the pinnacle of GT motoring in 2023–2025, the DB12 is the benchmark answer.
