Bold and brilliant in Cosmos Orange, this example of Aston Martin’s DB12 coupe comes with a plethora of desirable options added. Powered by a 680hp 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8, ‘EX24 GRU’ sees that power put through an eight-speed automatic gearbox to the rear wheels. Superbly specified, this DB12’s translucent paint is complemented by black accents across the exterior – kitted out by careful picking of Aston Martin’s black packs – including badging, detail panels, vents, wing mirrors, smoked tail-lights and 21-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the theme continues, though in reverse. Trimmed in black leather with orange stitching, the sports seats are upholstered in quilted, ventilated leather, and the centre console and door cards see the same diamond motif used. Factory fitted equipment includes a heated multi-function sports steering wheel with gear shift paddles, digital instrument panel, large touchscreen system, dynamic adjustment controls, and electric seats.
The vendor is the only owner from new – unsurprising for such a new car – though more surprising is that the warranted mileage is just 365 miles; this DB12 is not even run in. As such, it includes the remainder of the one year Tracker subscription, as well as the rest of the three-year tyre and alloy refurbishment plan, covering up to five tyres and ten refurbishments. Protected with a Gtechniq ceramic coating, the quality of the paintwork has added ongoing security, though naturally, considering the mileage, it is considered ‘excellent’ by the vendor. The engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, and interior are all rated the same, as ‘EX24 GRU’ was ordered in June 2023, and registered in March 2024.
Aston Martin’s DB12 launched in 2023, replacing the DB11 as the Gaydon-based firm’s Grand Tourer. Available in coupe or Volante convertible form, both are powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, sourced from Mercedes-AMG as part of the latter’s part-ownership of Aston Martin. Likewise, all models use an eight-speed automatic transmission, which includes an electronic rear differential, while a stiffer bonded aluminium structure and revised dampers have all contributed to Aston Martin branding the DB12 as a ‘Super Tourer’ – something backed up by the supercar rivalling performance figures of a 202mph top speed and 3.5 seconds 0-62mph sprint time.
