Aston Martin DB12
The transformation of the DB11 a year ago led to the introduction of the new DB12. Available as a coupe or convertible, the latter known as DB12 Volante, this grand touring sports car from the U.K. continues to rely on a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 supplied by Mercedes-AMG. Output and torque are rated at 671 horsepower and 590 lb-ft, respectively. This is sent to the rear wheels only through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
