Who makes the world’s best GT car? New Aston Martin DB12 meets Ferrari Roma and Maserati GranTurismo

The Aston Martin DB12 is a gorgeous new grand tourer and Aston Martin thinks it’s sufficiently special that it even call it a Super Tourer - the world’s first, it says. Well. In that case, it feels only right that we should wheel out a couple of other GT cars to meet it. One is the Ferrari Roma, Ferrari’s entry-level car that feels anything but an entry-level car, and the other is the Maserati GranTurismo, a car so GT-ish that the clue is, quite literally, in the name. Question is, then, what are they like, inside and out, and to drive? Join Matt Prior as he finds out. Shot and edited by Shreyans Chordia. The vital statistics for this trio are in the video but if you’d like them in nugget form here they are: Aston Martin DB12 price: £185,055 Engine: V8, 3982cc, twin-turbocharged Power: 671bhp at 6000rpm Torque: 590lb ft at 2750-6000rpm Transmission: 8-spd automatic, rear-wheel drive 0-62mph: Top speed: 202mph Fe
