The new Aston Martin DB12 blends clever technology and exacting craftsmanship with brutish design inspiration from the earlier DBS, along with an all-new interior and a steady-eyed focus on the future of the brand. It’s an evocative continuation of the ‘DB’ line that started all the way back in 1948 with the 2-Litre Sports model, the original ‘DB1’. Over the past 75 years, we’ve seen the company run all the way through DB2 to DB11, with the notable omission of a ‘DB8’ (it was deemed to be a confusing name for a V12-powered car).
