ASTON MARTIN DB12

Driving Aston Martin's finest GT yet

- ABHAY VERMA

The Italians may dominate the world of supercars, but the British hold a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts. British supercars have always felt distinctively aristocratic, besides feeling more soul stirring as well. Aston Martin tops that list with the kind of cars it has offered, not to forget the marque’s 110-year old storied past. As a James Bond fan, I also cannot deny that Aston Martins are a bit more special for me – who can forget the DB5 in Goldfinger! Heck, the DB5 also made a comeback in Skyfall and No Time To Die, driven by Daniel Craig – remember the part in Skyfall where he threatens to press a switch hidden inside the gear lever to eject ‘M’, because she’s complaining? Hard to not like the DB5, even today! And then there’s Aston Martin’s illustrious history in motorsport.
