Different from the past each time it will be
Plastic surgery
For the DB-Series by Aston Martin
as a major facelift.
It is not based on the older model because the DB12,
Honestly, more like taking the big DB11
And give it a modern look.
And the new performance is only better

Starting with the body design at the front, it comes with a front bumper with a larger air intake. But it still has the unique trapezoidal frame as before and the new lower air intake shape change from a long horizontal bar it’s upward style
Wavy surrounds the lower half of the central aperture. So that it can trap air to blow the front brake system better
As for the front light, although it still uses the original frame, there are modifications to the details of the lights inside the new lantern. There are still two main lights on each side of the headlight as before, but the DRL edge light has been changed. From the original to be a frame around the main light this time changed to a larger light bar at the top instead.
In addition, in the modification of other outer shell details from the rear of the front wheel arch there have been no changes at all.
Except for the new wheelset though with a 20- to 21-inch larger rim, the complete set is lighter
8 kg more than before
However, although the outside doesn’t look much different from the original, the inside of her cabin has been completely redecorated. Make the car look more modern It no longer looks conservative from the steering wheel assembly, front console assembly, even the air conditioner panel
air, and the on/off button panel. And to drive the gear system has been almost completely modified
Just as important is the 10.25-inch central display of the infotainment system. Supports connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems, with built-in 4G connectivity and voice command. Firmware updates can be communicated via OTA, and all will work with an 11-point speaker set, which if a customer is not satisfied can be upgraded to a Bowers & Wilkins 15-point speaker set.

In terms of car performance although it is said to be a ‘better’ improvement over the DB11, it is not an improvement at all. But done
It was such an improvement that Aston Martin chose to upgrade the car from ‘Grand Tourer’ to ‘Super Tourer’ level at all.
Let’s start with the set of wheels we mentioned above. It is in fact not only lighter in weight but also comes with new Michelin Pilot 5s tires, size 275/35 R21 103Y front and 315/30 R21 108Y rear, which Aston Martin has jointly developed with the manufacturer.
M requested special specifications for this particular car, and put a sponge inside the tire, which would make it able to absorb the bounce from the surface
way up to 20%
The body structure has been modified to increase strength by 7% as a result of the improved front engine mount. The front and rear suspension rafts are complemented by improvements to the new limited-slip differential, which fine-tunes the actuation of the new suspension. Both stiffer anti-roll bars, viscosity reprogramming and variable stiffness suspension.
The braking system itself is also full. Carbon ceramic brakes which are 27 kg lighter than before and also have a completely new electronic enhancement for user safety.
Another highlight of this car model. Mercedes’ new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, though
It has the same initial specifications as the original DB11 V8 engine, except that its power has been increased from 535 HP to 680 HP and has increased
Maximum torque from 675 Nm to 800 Nm.
And if you compare the power figures of the new engine, this is paired with a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12, which is the top model in the DB11,
Capable of producing 639 horsepower and a maximum torque of 700 Nm, it can be seen that the new V8 engine is still more powerful.
That’s why the V12 engine is no longer on the list of options for customers to buy. Or, simply put, the DB12 is now the only version with the new V8 engine.

And from more horsepower until the car is upgraded to a “Super Grand Tour” car will be sent to the rear wheels. With an 8-speed automatic transmission, it can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 325 km/h.
If compared to the DB11, both engines (V8 / V12), the DB12 can accelerate from 0-100 km / h. in a form
Mild is better than both but in the aspect of top speed it is slightly inferior to the DB11 V12 engine because the older one can achieve
The maximum speed is 334 km / h.
However, the vehicle’s unveiling this time is still just a launch so customers can reserve one for each other first. The car will be actually produced in the third quarter of this year. Including announcing the official release price as well.
