GAYDON, UK - When Aston Martin says they've made the world's first "super" tourer, one would listen closely and pay attention. Especially when it's the most powerful DB-badged grand tourer they've ever produced - aside from the limited-run DBS 770 Ultimate.
The rear quarter of the car looks startlingly similar to the outgoing DB11, down to the sloping cab, tail lamps and "aeroblade" rear spoiler - which isn't a bad thing. But Aston says that the DB12 is over 80 per cent new, with very few components carried over from the older car. Under the long bonnet lurks an AMG-sourced 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 nestled over the front axle, tuned to produce a very VERY potent 680 horsepower and 800Nm of torque - 34 per cent more power, according to Aston Martin. It'll complete the 0-100km/h sprint in 3.5 seconds and go on to a top speed of 325km/h .
