Aston Martin's DB11 has made way for a successor called the DB12.
, and is more of a heavy update than a true redesign. Most of the DB11's design carries over with some tweaks, but there's a new front end that brings a sense of power and potency that the DB11 lacked. This is thanks mostly to the much larger grille and new hood with prominent strakes. The track is also wider front and rear, up six and 22 millimeters, respectively.
The DB12's engine powers the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission mounted at the rear for better balance.Aston Martin DB12 Attached at each corner is a 21-inch forged wheel, available in one of three patterns and in a range of colors and finishes. Thanks to their lightweight designs, the wheels help save approximately 17 pounds compared to the DB11's 20-inch offerings. The standard rubber is Michelin's new Pilot Sport S 5 tires, but with a unique compound for Aston Martin. They measure 275/35 up front and a meaty 315/30 at the rear.
There's a more elegant layout characterized by clean horizontal lines, as well as a digital instrument cluster and a central touchscreen that controls Aston Martin's infotainment system. Developed in-house, the new system offers full support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as over-the-air updates. There are also plenty of physical controls in the DB12 for frequently used functions, including a knurled rotary controller for the drive mode selector.
