2024/73 Aston Martin DB12 in Q Satin Onyx Black over Sandstorm & Black Hide with Dark Open Pore Wood Veneer.
Delivered new in January to its first and sole private owner, this DB12 has only covered 300 miles since and is in ‘as new’ condition throughout.
Arguably the standout feature of this particular example is its Q Collection Satin Onyx Black Paint – a £9k option alone.
Inspired by the refined darkness of its mineral namesake, Onyx is a true, deep black hue, and reflects light for a dramatic shine on the highlight, but an inky darkness in areas of shadow.
To maintain the theme, all exterior components were similarly styled: the exterior badging, full exterior pack, front grille, privacy glass, 21’’ Y-spoke wheels, and even the tail lights are smoked.
The contrasting elements were thoughtfully specified, with the ‘Inspire Comfort’ interior featuring a two-tone scheme of Sandstorm and Black, complemented by Dark Pore Open Wood Veneer, Tan seatbelts, and contrast stitching. This combination creates a perfect blend of a stealthy, menacing exterior and an elegant, luxurious cabin.
The DB12’s interior marks a significant leap in design and extravagance for the brand. It features advanced technology, and refined aesthetics. Highlights include a big touchscreen, digital dashboard, and modern driver assistance; all reflecting Aston’s commitment to enhanced craftsmanship and innovation that has previously left them behind their competitors.
As their flagship model, a high level of equipment comes as standard, including ventilated seats, blind spot monitoring, Apple CarPlay, a 360-degree parking camera, ambient lighting, 12-way adjustable seats, wireless phone charging, and much more.
Additionally, this DB12 features the coveted Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system, a 15-speaker setup delivering 1,170 watts for an exceptional audio experience.
Its first service isn’t due until January next year, and for extra peace of mind for incoming buyers, it still benefits from the remaining balance of its 5-year service plan and 3-year manufacturer’s warranty.
The DB12, unveiled in 2023, marks a significant evolution in the brand’s esteemed DB lineage, positioning itself as a quintessential example of British luxury and performance. This grand tourer embodies Aston Martin’s commitment to blending cutting-edge technology with timeless design, creating a car that is both aesthetically stunning and dynamically impressive. The DB12 continues the legacy of its predecessors while introducing a host of modern enhancements that set it apart in the highly competitive luxury sports car market.
Under the hood, the DB12 boasts a potent 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering an impressive 671 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 202 mph, underscoring its high-performance credentials. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and responsive gear shifts. The vehicle’s dynamic capabilities are further enhanced by a sophisticated suspension system and advanced aerodynamics, which provide exceptional handling and stability at high speeds.
The exterior design of the DB12 is a harmonious blend of elegance and aggression. Its sleek lines, muscular stance, and iconic grille are complemented by innovative features such as adaptive LED headlights and aerodynamic enhancements that optimise airflow.
The interior is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring premium materials and State-of-the-art technology, all seamlessly integrated throughout the cabin. With a fully digital instrument cluster, a high-resolution infotainment system, and advanced driver assistance features – ensuring both comfort and convenience for its occupants.
