Is the DB12 a proper driver’s car or merely a pretty grand tourer?

Question

Shiba · Accepted Answer

It’s definitely more of a driver’s car than previous DBs. The new suspension and chassis tuning makes a huge difference in the corners.

Saket · Answer

Yes it's still a GT at heart. It is too heavy and too luxurious to be a real sports car. That's not a bad thing – it excels at what it’s meant to do.

Sourabh · Answer

Aston appears to have found a sweet spot. It’s sharper than a traditional GT but comfortable by hardcore sports car standards. Best of both worlds.

Pranshu · Answer

It’s a driver’s car, if you know what I mean. This isn’t a track weapon, look elsewhere if that’s what you want. It’s hard to beat for fast road driving though.

Jyotsana · Answer

The DB11 should have been the DB12 from the outset. Now, it has the power and handling to back up those looks.

Raj · Answer

The answer is still too heavy to be considered a genuine driver's car. It all adds up to the electronics and luxury features. Quick, but no lightweight sports car.

Md · Answer

And who says a GT can’t be a driver’s car? Having luxury and performance in one package, the DB12 is the proof. This is a modern interpretation of a sports car.

Rajat · Answer

I have driven it and it is more engaging than you would think. It's not a Vantage, but it has a split personality that is really appealing.

Gaurav · Answer

This is a grand tourer that can hustle when you want it to. Just don't pretend that the 2020 Giulia will outhandle a 911 GT3 or an F8 Tributo.

Richa · Answer

The DB12 can be both. Attack some corners in Sport+ or cruise in comfort. It’s not as focused as more sports cars, but in a way that’s more versatile.
