# 2026 Aston Martin DB12 S Revealed in Full Detail
Aston Martin has unveiled the 2026 DB12 S, the latest evolution of its grand touring lineup. The refresh brings updated styling, interior refinements, and confirmed performance specifications that position it as the brand's core sports car offering.
The DB12 S carries forward the twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12 engine, which produces 680 horsepower and 620 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Aston Martin claims a 0-60 time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph, keeping the DB12 S competitive with rivals like the BMW M850i and Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S.
Visually, the 2026 model receives subtle but intentional updates. The front fascia gains sharper LED headlight designs and a reshaped grille. The side profile remains true to Aston's design language, while the rear receives revised tail light styling and a more integrated diffuser. Paint options expand to include new finishes alongside Aston's signature colors.
Inside, the DB12 S features a redesigned infotainment interface with improved responsiveness and a larger touchscreen. The cabin retains handcrafted leather throughout, but trim choices expand with new wood veneers and ambient lighting configurations. Seating remains a 2+2 layout with supportive sports seats wrapped in quilted leather.
The 2026 refresh arrives as Aston Martin doubles down on traditional combustion engines before inevitable electrification arrives later in the decade. The brand faces pressure from Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche, all introducing hybrid and electric alternatives to their flagship tourers
