The phenomenal new DB12 convertible blurs the line between exotic GT and supercar, but to what end?
is stupendous: Fast, loud, agile, and so beautiful it will make your soul ache. It is, in every sense of the overused word, an awesome car.Now that we have that out of the way, we can tell you the one thing that’s arguably wrong with it.
Aston had us pick up the DB12 in Santa Monica, California, and directed us to go west on Pacific Coast Highway, then turn up into the hills above Malibu, where some of the best twisty roads in the country are there to be mastered. “You know the roads,” we were told. “Go where you want. Be back in three hours and try not to bend up the cars.” Point being: Any PR pro worth the salt in their own tears only turns car critics like us loose on roads like that if theyAnd perform the DB12 Volante did.
This is not necessarily a bad thing—it bodes well for the DB12 Volante’s performance on a track, though you would think the coupe is better suited to that environment—but while the chassis setup and engine power are that of a supercar, the rest of the convertible is a grand tourer.
