Compare the2025 Ferrari 12CilindriVS 2025 Aston Martin DB12

The 12Cilindri has standard GPS Response System, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The DB12 doesn’t offer a GPS response system, only a navigation computer with no live response for emergencies, so if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated help may not come as quickly.

Both the 12Cilindri and the DB12 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems and blind spot warning systems.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the 12Cilindri for 7 years and unlimited miles. Ferrari will pay for oil changes, air filter replacements, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Aston Martin doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the DB12.

The 12Cilindri’s 6.5 DOHC V12 produces 149 more horsepower (819 vs. 670) than the DB12’s 4.0 turbo V8.

The 12Cilindri has 3.8 gallons more fuel capacity than the DB12 (24.3 vs. 20.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

The 12Cilindri offers a standard sequential manual gearbox (SMG). With no clutch pedal to worry about and a fully automatic mode, an SMG is much more efficient than a conventional automatic but just as easy to drive. The DB12 doesn’t offer an SMG or a conventional manual transmission.

The 12Cilindri has standard heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The DB12 doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

For better traction and acceleration, the 12Cilindri has larger rear tires than the DB12 (315/35R21 vs. 305/30R21).

The 12Cilindri’s standard power retractable hardtop allows a seamless transition from an open car, to a completely sealed coupe. The DB12 doesn’t offer a retractable hardtop.

A standard locking glovebox keeps your small valuables safer in the 12Cilindri. The DB12 doesn’t offer locking storage for small valuables.

The 12Cilindri’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The DB12 does not have an oil pressure gauge.

The 12Cilindri’s optional sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows. The DB12’s visors are fixed into the windshield header.

The 12Cilindri has standard massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the DB12.
