Steel discs are the standard fitment on the base DB12; carbon-ceramic is a cost option (standard on the DB12 S).
The DB12 Volante is the convertible companion to the DB12 coupe, unveiled August 14, 2023, a few months after the coupe, and it's the only open-top DB12 body style — there's no V12 gap to fill since the entire family is V8-only. It uses a fabric K-fold roof that opens in 14 seconds and closes in 16, operable at speeds up to 35 mph, and Aston Martin quotes roughly 5% better torsional rigidity than the outgoing DB11 Volante.
It shares the coupe's chassis and infotainment updates over the DB11 generation, with the added structure and folding-roof mechanism accounting for its higher weight versus the coupe and its reduced trunk space with the top down.

No. The entire DB12 generation, coupe and Volante alike, is V8-only — Aston Martin didn't carry the DB11's optional V12 forward into this generation at all.
Yes — Aston Martin offers the S powertrain, brake, and chassis package in Volante form too, though it isn't tracked as a separate model here; a "DB12 S Volante" is that factory combination, not a distinct line.
