2024 Aston Martin DB12 - Daily Driving The Twin Turbo V8 Super Tourer

This week I lived out my teenage dreams of daily driving an Aston Martin. The new DB12 is drop dead gorgeous, and properly fast.

14:23 complementing a Crosstrek while driving an Aston is peak motoring journalism moment. Lol.

[@RealNameNeverUsed]

Lol. The Crosstrek had absolutely no clue that a guy in an Aston Martin was drooling over them.

[@uAidan]

as a Crosstrek owner/enjoyer I would've never expected our car to be mentioned in a DB12 video hahahah

[@Allcarnews]

I too would be doing that

[@TheLMMish]

:))

[@mikedrotleff]

I love the cuts to the body shots while the speedo is reading not so lawful numbers lol. Great video!

[@Piketom1]

It's sad to see the V12 gone from the regular DB series cars but at least the DBS still uses a V12. There's an argument to be made that limiting the V12 to the top of the brands lineup makes the power train even more special.

[@cassokon]

I’m hearing the V12 comes back for both the Vantage and DB12 after the Vanquish. There are some spy shots of a DB12 with quad exhausts

[@Driver20418]

Aston is releasing the new vanquish with a V12 engine. Literally cannot wait for the reveal

[@kruelnoqs1128]

I think I would legitimately cry if I ever got to sit in one of these!

[@LisaBrower-uj3wc]

Oh trust me…this mom has a blast being able to do that any time he has an amazing car!!

[@markamiri3117]

I feel that the sound insolation is the key on these cars to know how good is a car build and I don't hear this enough in reviews

[@itstheendoftheworld000]

congrats on 60k!!

[@trinhan6816]

Can't hate an Aston Martin

[@tomerivan]

technically you can - It's a Mercedes Benz DB12

[@TeamLuxzGaming]

@@tomerivan i mean still an aston just with the heart of a amg

CONGRATS ON 61.3K SUBS! 🥳

[@oumakavoula]

Stunning design, these bronze wheels are beautiful

[@rogerpayne5336]

Watching this , I must say , your reviewing style is fresh , informative , thorough.....Listening to the stereo while driving is real-world , yet you don't see it in most reviews...In regard's the car ! it's a beautiful masterpiece for me , with Supercar performance on command. As you say , the little foible's give the car character and personality ; unless said foible's descend into unreliability. We don't want that !!.....Aston Martin are on a roll , with the new v12 Vanquish halo car just announced. And as the creator of Supercar's / GT's in the classical Coupe bodyshell , I can only be a fan.

[@carlosmiguel4756]

Aston Martin makes some of the most gorgeous sports cars ever!!! Who disagrees? One thing i hate though: the digital rpm needle is laggy and stuttering AF!!! That is a shame for a luxury coupe like this! The only i accept cars with digital clusters is if they're super super superrrrr smooth and zero lag! Else, stay in mechanical if you can.

[@joegabbard5538]

Most underrated very special brands

[@martinkou3359]

Our V12 dreams shall hopefully be realized tomorrow my good sir 😌 all will be Vanquished

[@zachpeterson4519]

Next time you get to sample a car like this, take it out down Huron River Drive between Ann Arbor and Dexter. Going out towards Hell, Stockbridge, Gregory, and Pinckney have some incredible roads for fun cars too. Elevation, winding curves and esses, banking, and combinations of all of those.

[@megane230f1]

im glad to see aston finally made an efffort on making a nice cabin, as i always thought astons were great to look at but there interirors were horrendous

[@longbeachcarguy]

The Vanquish, DB9 or rapide for that matter sounded way better…another era I guess…that reminds me of Alfa Romeo tag line years ago in Europe ‘some cars still have a soul’

[@Crisheight]

Awesome color

[@Lucasmc27]

that green is beautiful

[@MCbroomer]

That is pretty! love the color combo

[@Allcarnews]

The new interior alone is such an improvement I would pay Aston to put it in older models

[@jonnyslim86]

Pretty brave driving in that particular Whole Foods Parking Lot😆

[@cassokon]

You mean the most gorgeous car you’ve ever driven right lol?

[@CGDavis]

We get to see the updated Aston Martin Vanquish next week! That'll still have a V12.

[@169abr]

I love powerful V8’s, but it has to be mentioned that when you add turbos they tend to muddy the sound. I’m happy it’s not a 6cyl and will take this over that any day even if it’s dead silent.

[@kevinmagee5400]

Would you take this to live with or a Bentley Continental?

[@G-MieInternational]

Great DB12

[@Wellington_srt10]

Driving a celebrity

[@kevinmagee5400]

I want the vanquish with this new dash and interior look.

[@artvandelayimports]

It's a small thing but I don't get why Aston Martin's have a delay in pressing the start button to the engine starting

[@pepijnwassenaar9451]

ain’t no fucking way your name’s actually topher😂😂😂😂😂 but anyway sick vid bro

[@yvngbucko]

feel like it should have a sunroof at least for 300k

[@luiszamudio5562]

Thank you I like your videos! Nice car, I do not if it was for the sound but I prefer the lexus LC 500.

[@cbotten106]

This car is absolutely stunning. DB12 as tested is $315K, so you might want to bring deep pockets. I'm guessing a V12 will come to the United States (and other select markets) eventually. Just a guess. How much will they be asking for that, if and when? Half million? 🥶😰

[@elliotdiehl694]

Absolutely gorgeous car 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 @northwood take notes

[@RJLETZPLAY]

Idk why but the gauge kinda looks like a rolls royce spectre!

[@enfantterrible4868]

imagine this with a V12 Twin Turbo and a manual

[@sambitdas9416]

A softer suspension affords more mechanical grip than a stiffer one, generally speaking.

[@bigguy4u989]

for street use where the roads are bumpy yes. on a smooth surface stiffer is better because it minimizes elastic weight transfer

[@jonathanvanelli]

I bet that's a euro spec car that's why you can't defeat the stop/start or lane keep assist? just a thought

[@davidrubin2612]

imagine if this had nice analog diala

[@Die_Quelle]

I dont know but, the sound of the V8 is awful? Or is it the recording quality, this sounds like a bad video game implementation. But man, its really beautiful.

[@sipkar7]

I hate the digital display behind the wheel. In all of the new cars.

[@ijin_a]

❤

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

To me the engine sounds kind of gruff, not entirely pleasing.

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

The Vanquish sounded much better!

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

Highway road noise through wind and tire sound seems quite high for a luxury product.

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

Gorgeous design overall! I recall sticking my head in a new Aston a few years ago, and the scent from the leather was sublime.

[@169abr]

Turbos, they behave like mufflers and give muddy sounds to everything they go on. AMG, Aston, BMW, etc etc all sound muddy compared to the days of the NA V8/10/12 stuff.

[@_kj2]

Why the bumps at the license plate?

[@TopherDrives]

For protection in low speed collisions

[@suspiciousafternoon]

That's such a sexy car wow

[@Beifeitefamilytraveltents]

😍😍

[@mbizozo6271]

Dude sounds like Hoovie, any relation?

[@jakes5530]

Maybe I’m totally in the minority, but I far prefer the DB11 to this inside and out.

[@djplonghead5403]

The back of this looks like the front of the new prius

[@Anubis-is-Raw]

Can we get a brand new GT-R thanks

[@gregorygant4242]

Great car ! You can tell this guy is driving in the US with the crappy roads everywhere , it's a distinctive feature of the US . Lol, lol !

If a car's dead on me 3 times in 4 days, it's going on Craigslist. 🤨

The color on this car is a crime

[@mondvogel6124]

when you spend all that money on an aston martin and then get wrecked by a M5

[@himaafshan]

Depreciation 💀

[@nephastgweiz1022]

12 000 $ for a paint color 😂

[@Piketom1]

$245K base for the car. If you're spending that much, why not splurge and get a special paint?

@@Piketom1 because it costs $300

@@Alpharius__Omegon IMHO, if you're rich enough to afford the base car, customizing it is worthwhile.

It's terrible to put such a poor quality tablet screen in this car so horrible

[@WadeGutt-gc9tw]

Weird comment. Have you seen the previous screen in the DB11? Or screens in any Lambo, Ferrari, or other supercar?

[@RealNameNeverUsed]

Eh I don’t mind the screen. I think they integrate it into the design pretty well

[@TheNath272000]

There isn't a tablet screen in there, do you know what you're talking about..?

This is 100x better than the previous generation

aston is WASHED if they’re lending a car to a youtube journo only a year after unveiling. that’s some direct to video type shi
