IT MUST BE an exciting time to work at Aston Martin; the firm recently saw a healthy boost in financial investment, and it’s itching to be less reliant on other manufacturers for hardware.
You see, recently its cars have shared parts with Mercedes-Benz; that’s by no means bad in itself, but it’s hard to say that your cars are unique when many of their controls can be found in an old C-Class. The new DB12, then, demonstrates what the firm is able to do when given the opportunity to be more self-sufficient – and it does it with some style.
