"Long DB bloodline

Speaking at the DB12’s unveiling, Aston Martin CEO Amedeo Felisa said: “When a brand has as much history as Aston Martin it is important to honour the past. Not by looking back, but by pushing on with the same energy and passion that propelled our founders 110 years ago.

“With the new DB12 we are reinvigorating the DB model line and reasserting Aston Martin as a maker of truly exceptional performance sports cars. By combining class-leading performance and exceptional chassis dynamics with cutting edge technology, impeccable craftsmanship and immaculate design, DB12 leads Aston Martin into a new era of excellence.”

And finally an Aston Martin DB12 engine bay shot from the same set as above. It was buried a tad.

I'm sure it'll be compared to the V8 DB11's. But the V8's as the V12's are not a fair comparison.

But I've looked at the Aston Martin DBX 707 instead. Yes it's packaging might me different but it's still a V8- the ultimate.

Interesting.

That silver paint almost looks like polished bare aluminum

There's no need to, the owners of those GT cars don't care.

Who cares? This type of car isn’t just about 0-60 and perfect stats. I’m sure the cheapest Tesla is just as fast or faster to 60 with all the character of a golf cart.

I agree with your point , and what you say.

But at the end of the day , this car needs to sell . And Aston Martin is not doing all that great lately.

They need to put something on the table.

Yes , this car is special. But just look at what sells better. Even V8 Bentley is a better seller than V12.

Purists aren't that many. And many are needed for AM (still failing to make a profit YoY)

A better 0-60 time isn’t going to make it sell any better. The DBX does the heavy lifting now. This car is a V8 so I’m not sure what the issue is.

“It’s time for Aston Martin to embrace a more radical design”

While editor-in-chief Steve Fowler thinks the Aston Martin DB12 is a beautiful car, he wonders if it looks a little too familiar

by: Steve Fowler 31 May 2023

The launch of the new Aston Martin DB12 once again shines a light on one of Britain’s greatest brands. And it comes at a time when the Formula One team – a very separate entity to the car company – is flying.

I, for one, have hugely enjoyed seeing a rejuvenated Fernando Alonso in the gorgeous green racer take multiple podiums as the best of the rest behind the seemingly unbeatable Red Bulls.

Alonso’s team-mate, Lance Stroll, hasn’t had the same degree of success, of course. It’s a shame that Aston’s F1 operation doesn’t have two drivers who can fight it out on the track, but then, the team does belong to his father, Lawrence Stroll.

It’s also his team at the helm of Aston Martin Lagonda – the car company – as it has been for over three years. So how has the firm done under his ownership?

The latest financial results were hardly spectacular, it must be said, making mention of “performance in line with expectations”. Strong sales of specials – including deliveries of the Valkyrie hypercar – boosted revenue, while apparently the company’s current range of GT and Sports models (Vantage, DB12 and DBS) is around 95 per cent sold out for this year.

In spite of that, if you want some of Aston’s cars – especially in the United States – delivery can be prompt; we’ve heard that there are plenty of cars in stock.

And so to the DB12. We’ll let you know how it drives soon, but the specs are impressive; Aston really seems determined to ramp up the performance, even calling it a ‘super tourer’ instead of a mere ‘grand tourer’.

As for the looks, I can’t help wondering if it’s not time for the brand to move its current design language on in a more radical way. The DB12 is a beautiful car, certainly, but is it different enough from what’s gone before?

DO YOU AGREE WITH STEVE? Let us know in the comments section..."

No absolutely not, on design it's good.~My take.

It seemed to me more about Formula One anyway?
