Aston Martin is working on its first electric sports car, but by releasing the DB12 it just made life a bit more difficult for itself. This new Grand Tourer, or rather Super Tourer, as it’s being touted, is nothing short of breathtaking. It’s a car that reminds you why you love driving and even for an EV evangelist like me, wonder why you’d want a car without a V8 engine.
Though very much a luxury brand already, Aston Martin is looking to elevate its position, both in terms of luxury and performance. The British motorsport company has returned to Formula One and is having major success, gaining new followers from across the world. Its DB range is 75 years old this year and has been known as the car of choice for James Bond for many of those. With the DB12 it is looking to create a new legacy.
