For the DB12, the British carmaker has made numerous updates over the last model, such as a bigger front grille, beefier aero elements, larger and wide wheels, redesigned headlamp assembly and an overall muscular stance.

On the inside though, the DB12 is an all-new car with a massive 10.25-inch touchscreen system in the centre along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Along with it there’s 4G-connected navigation, voice assistant, car locator, breakdown response and remote diagnostics (free for the first three years).

Take a peak under the hood and you’ll notice the V12 motor being replaced by a Mercedes-AMG sourced 4.0-litre V8 engine instead, which makes 689PS of power and 800Nm of torque.

This helps the DB12 in covering the 0-100kmph sprint in just 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 325kmph.
