2024 Product Lineup: DB12, DBX, Vantage
Overall Brand Impression:
An enduring producer of high-class performance vehicles with more than 110 years of history, Aston Martin always seems to be an auto company renowned for their lofty pursuit of excellence. With a handful of special edition models introduced in 2023 including the final production models of the DBS recognized as the DBS 770 Ultimate, Aston Martin pushes forward in 2024 with a lineup led by the all-new DB12.
What’s New for 2024:
The latest advancement of Aston Martin’s DB product line, the DB12, is the biggest adaptation for the premium auto company’s 2024 model range. Available as a hardtop as well as a drop top Volante variant, the 2024 DB12 is an evolution of Aston Martin’s familiar design language. The Aston Martin DB12 is billed as one of the sharpest handling DB models ever incorporating an electric rear differential and intelligent adaptive damper technology. A 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine generating 680ps (670 horsepower) mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission allows the 2024 DB12 to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and to a top speed of 202 miles per hour.
2024 will be a major transitional period for Aston Martin beyond the debut of the DB12. In 2023, the V12-powered DBS line unveiled the special 770 Ultimate version. Limited to only 499 production examples (300 couples and 199 Volantes), every Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate edition vehicle was already spoken for by customers at the time of introduction. Generating 770PS (about 759 horsepower), this variant of the Aston Martin DBS is the last of the line for the existing super GT model. Deliveries started through the second half of 2023.
With the loss of one of its most powerful V12 engined vehicles, Aston Martin is pushing forward with a plan to electrify their product line. While a battery-electric vehicle wearing the luxury brand’s badge is scheduled for 2025, the company is expected to press forward with production of their plug-in hybrid supercar called the Valhalla before the end of 2024.

Aston Martin Valour: Celebrating their 110th anniversary as an automaker in 2023, Aston Martin crafted a special, limited release Valour. Introduced in the middle of 2023, the Aston Martin Valour is a uniquely styled machine harkening back to the brand’s history while also containing notes towards its design future. The V8 Vantage of the 1970s and 1980s as well as Aston Martin’s RHAM/1 Le Mans race car called ‘Muncher’ largely contributed to the car’s exterior presentation. Taillights inspired by the Valkyrie hypercar and a woollen tweed seat coverings inside the two passenger interior draws on the 1959 Le Mans-winning DBR1 race car. Only 110 examples of the Aston Martin Valour will be built with initial deliveries taking place in late 2023.
