THE WORLD’S FIRST SUPER TOURER
No mere GT
An icon risen from an icon
The category we invented, reinvented again. Taking the roof off the world’s first super tourer and baring its soul. Filling the cabin with the elements as you race hearts, level mountains, shrink continents and eviscerate every benchmark that’s gone before. Giving you the freedom to bare the interiors to the world for an open-air theatre of performance. Premiering new technology that places the driver in a seat of new perfection. Undoubtedly a primo, from its delicately refined interior to its carved exterior. This is no mere GT. This is fiercer. This is purer. This is sharper. This is bolder. This is finer. This is DB12 Volante.
FIERCER
Conquering the category
An icon made to seek race car speeds. Shooting from a hand-built twin turbo V8. Drawing from a class-leading 680PS and stamping 202mph across every mile it mercilessly fires through. While serenading every driver with a ferociously rounded roar. Taking DB12 Volante to such a peerless level, that it creates a category of its very own.
Transforming the simply grand to the superpowered
Formed around a ferocious centre of a twin-turbo V8. DB12 Volante floods your surroundings with 4.0 litres of roaring power. Burning to a class-defying 680PS for a top speed of 202mph. Taking its super capabilities to any road, highway or carriageway with 800Nm of pinpointed potency. Keeping its cool with Zirconium alloy heads for perfected temperature resistance. Carefully and obsessively hand-built from aluminium and fit with lightweight forged pistons to take hold and dispatch of every nanosecond of real-world performance. Its only upper limit is 7,200rpm.
Inch-perfect precision
An icon set to channel power and draw on the dynamic duo of the automatic ZF 8-speed transmission and electronic limited slip rear differential. Threading each wheel with strength. Cutting acceleration time with shorter gears and punching your super tourer with the freedom to take you from a standstill to a category crushing top speed of 202mph. In the smoothest of seconds.
Triple-chilled intelligence
DB12 Volante is cooled with three times the number of radiators. Taking in more air through the fiercely efficient front splitter while enhancing airflow without compromising balance or downforce. Larger wheel arch liner apertures increase the hot air abstraction. And this all comes crowned by head mounted liquid coolers that can drop 175°C to just 25°C.

PURER
The poised thrill of your cockpit
Purity and poise without previous or precedent. The cockpit centres you in your DB12 Volante. Enveloping you with peerless ergonomics that etch their way into your being for the ultimate connection between car and driver.
The perfect connection
Plugged into power. The world’s first super tourer is enlightened by driver centric technology. Planting perfection in your point of view and cradling you at a purposely precise position, measured to the millimetre to deliver a near-perfect hip/heel ratio. Leaving you calculatedly close to 680PS.
At the epicentre of control
Take your place more viscerally at the core of your DB12 Volante. The equally obsessively-measured raised centre console places you with an automatic gearbox that can be overridden to place the purity of power in your hands through the steering wheel mounted paddles. Released by the stop/start button that delivers 680PS and 800Nm of torque at the glance of an index finger.
A new apex of handling and steering
DB12 Volante takes terrain with ESP that gives the tyres more freedom to bite into tarmac. Bringing unadulterated control, uninterrupted by momentary shifts in stability. And the non-isolated steering column injects more instant feedback and feeling, to let the road slip through when you want to hold it. Bowing to any and every wrist and ankle adjustment.
Fusing technology and tradition
DB12 Volante is built around a new steering wheel. Lined in handstitched leather and embossed with modern driver controls for infotainment, safety and technology. Styled as the most meticulous merging of tradition and technology. And offered with a range of trim inlay options, complementing the advanced interior design. Making your super tourer as personalised, as it is unique.
Sharper
The slicing finesse of unparalleled dynamics
Chicane after hairpin. Corner after straight. Dynamically cutting its own path and effortlessly forcing concrete into line. Fusing the driver and the road with slicing finesse. And moulding the tarmac to its tyres as it sprints with intelligent torque distribution. To make a league of its own when it comes to dynamic precision.
A stiffer chassis for a more malleable drive
Giving the freedom to make a dynamic incision on any terrain with intelligent dampers by increasing the amount of force it can distribute by 500%. And raising the bar to super heights with an evolution in e-diff. Gripping torque and wrapping it around one wheel at a time. To place potency where the car needs it.
Crushing speeds with ceramic
A debut for an Aston Martin core GT model. The choice of carbon ceramic brakes. 400mm at the front. 360mm at the rear. Pieced and patterned together to fight off fade in the cauldron of high speed. With the power to cut racetrack speeds. While reducing unsprung mass by 27kg to quicken its feel at your feet and control in your hands.
Reactions in rubber
An expression of harmony. Developed alongside Michelin and bespoke to Aston Martin. The premier of the new Michelin Pilot Sport 5 S tyre. A hand-honed compound made to grip deeper into the ground and make every spin of rubber more reactive and precise. While dampening the effects of rain and cushioning comfort into every roll of tread.
BOLDER
Blood-pumping beauty and soul-stirring aggression
A ballet of ballistic balance. Stealing glances and hearts with an entrance moulded in aggression. Taking to the track with a broader stance and baring its soul with the K-fold roof to race a first ever atmosphere-filled, open-top super tour. Honed as a homage to the 75 years that have bred beauty before. To introduce an icon that becomes almost impossible to forget.
Folded to perfection
An open-top model made to marvel. DB12 Volante comes topped by the K-fold roof. Completing a refined side profile and filling the cockpit with atmosphere in a class-leading 14 seconds with retractable ease. And able to close while cruising at up to 35mph. Wrapped, folded and stitched to stack at a class-leading 260mm. Sealing your model with a sculpted rear profile and reinforcing the roof canopy with acoustic enhancements. Incorporating eight layers of insulation materials for improved interior cabin comfort. On or off, always a tour to remember.
21” forged wheel
Wheels made to make your super tourer feel like it’s floating on air. 21-inch alloy wheels, lighter than any other of the same size. Made possible by cutting and forging metal to trim every pore of excess. While coordinating the connection between tyre and tarmac, without compromising appearance.
LED headlights
Leading and lighting the way. This icon is fronted by futuristic, re-designed LED headlights. With AI-generated light structures. Bolstered by a new daytime running light (DRL) signature. And cutting the clearest path in the darkest nights with the Automatic High Beam. An illuminating drive.
FINER
British craft meets future technology
Taking 75 years of history and accelerating it inside and out with a fine-tuned and state-of-the-art interior. Bringing together analogue and digital controls and stroking every advancement with signature Aston Martin handcraftsmanship. While lacing your ears with a symphony of smart sound conducted by the command of your voice. To give DB12 Volante the final brushstrokes it deserves.
The vanguard of sight and sound
Unapologetically digital for the first time. The pupil of the car focuses with a 10.25 inch digital screen. Baring its class with newly enlightened graphics that will mark every single Aston Martin to come. Anchored by a single dial design that inputs sports focus into the highest definition touch screen in any car in the category. Taming every drop of digital enhancement to your literal touch.
The sound of speed
Cushioning every drive in a curated chorus. An optional choice for DB12 Volante and built bespoke by Bowers and Wilkins, the acoustic artists behind the equipment at Abbey Road Studios. The audio system harmonises every note with every tailored swatch and material of the interior. Without dampening a decibel. And steeping you in a symphony of 15 speakers. 1170 watts and QuantumLogic immersion™ take automotive sound levels to super tourer capabilities.
Premiering a new kind of infotainment system
A debut for DB12. Formed and mind-mapped in house. Born with wireless Apple CarPlayTM and guided by what3words enabled 3D mapping and navigation. To whistle you from the Alps to the Eiffel Tower. And taking control of your favourite tracks and any app or button with your voice alone.
An engine of intelligence
DB12 Volante pulses with a new brain in the shape of the connectivity app. Taking on feedback and painting your palm with the ability to update and upgrade in any instance. Constantly on the edge of improvement. Letting the car study your every drive and evolve with an arsenal of features as soon as they’re available.
The space to tour with more
Space to match the pace. Cut with a manually operated load space divider and finished with a matching carpet and adorned with a leather handle. Separating your luggage from the folded Volante roof. And making extra space your last concern, while you’re hitting super car speeds.
