Aston Martin DB12 S review | A more focused DB12 S becomes the choice of the lineup

When a premium carmaker adds the seemingly innocuous letter 'S' to one of its model's names, it immediately gets the attention of car enthusiasts. It's a clear signal of intent. Aston Martin is no stranger to the idea, having adopted the S label as far back as the 1950s and recently returning to its use on more driver-focused versions of its existing models. The DB12 S is just that. Retaining the core recipe of the two-door DB12 Grand Tourer (or 'Super Tourer' in the land of Aston Martin marketing), the S model is faster, lighter and engineered to be even more engaging and exciting to drive. If that idea whets your appetite, then you're precisely the kind of buyer Aston Martin had in mind when creating this car.
