Aston Martin DB12 S | 700 caballos que te hacen sentir como James Bond

We thoroughly tested the new 700 hp Aston Martin DB12 S. A technical analysis of its AMG twin-turbo V8 engine, acceleration, real-world fuel consumption, and dynamic handling compared to rivals like the Ferrari Roma and Porsche 911 Turbo S. šŸ‘‡ EXPAND FOR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, PERFORMANCE, AND CHAPTERS šŸ‘‡ In this empirical analysis, we evaluate how the Gaydon-based firm has modified the thermal architecture and chassis of its self-proclaimed first "Super Tourer" to extract superior performance. To ensure you don't miss a single detail, we break down its engineering piece by piece. We put the evolution of its 4.0-liter engine to the test, analyzing how the electronics manage this increase to 700 hp and direct its power exclusively to the rear axle via the electronic differential (e-diff). In the video, we document its behavior on open roads and winding sections to see if the increased chassis rigidity, the recalibrated adaptive suspension, and the inclusion of standard carbon-ceramic brakes compromise comfort, an essential requirement for any Gran Turismo. We also measure its real-world fuel consumption and review the ergonomics of its new infotainment system, developed in-house by Aston Martin. In this video, we analyze: Mechanical Performance: A technical explanation of the improvements to the cooling and turbochargers of the twin-turbo V8 engine that allow it to achieve the DB12 S's new power figures. Dynamic Behavior: A test on winding roads to evaluate steering feel, body roll mitigation, and the rear axle's traction at the limit. Braking and Chassis: An analysis of the carbon-ceramic brakes and the specific suspension geometry of this high-performance S version. Aerodynamics and Design: Functional and aesthetic differences compared to the standard DB12, including the new front splitter, rear diffuser, and airflow management. Interior and Technology: Evaluation of the cabin, material quality, sound insulation, and the responsiveness of the central touchscreen and physical buttons. Real-World Fuel Consumption: Fuel consumption measurements under sustained driving conditions and sporty driving.
