Although it may feel like only a fleeting moment has passed since the unveiling of the DB11, the truth is that over seven years have elapsed since its awe-inspiring debut at the renowned Geneva Auto Show in early 2016. Aston Martin, known for their commitment to excellence and innovation, is no stranger to progression and evolution. With the DB12, they are determined to forge a new path, even if it means bidding farewell to the DB9, which proudly graced the automotive world for an impressive 14-year span.

While details surrounding the new DB remain shrouded in mystery, whispers suggest that the moniker of choice will indeed be the DB12. The teaser images released by Aston Martin offer an exciting glimpse into the future, showcasing elements that echo the familiar aesthetic of the DB11. The grand tourer’s visage is adorned with a pair of captivating headlights, subtly teasing what lies beneath. Aston Martin’s revamped wing logo takes centre stage on the car’s noble countenance, exuding an air of regality. Squinting ever so slightly, one can discern glimpses of the grille, boasting a mesmerizing arrangement of six horizontal bars.

The silhouette of the DB12, an emblem of elegance and power, appears to have undergone subtle refinement, ensuring continuity with its predecessor. The discerning eye will notice the artful fusion of familiarity and innovation in the meticulously crafted front and rear sections. It is within the confines of the luxurious cabin that Aston Martin’s pursuit of perfection truly comes to fruition. A teaser image reveals a completely reimagined dashboard and centre console, ushering in a new era of sophistication. Gone is the Mercedes-Benz-derived infotainment system that seemed somewhat out of place atop the dash in the DB11, making way for a fresh interface seamlessly integrated into the overall design.
