Built on a lighter and stronger aluminium structure than its predecessor, the DB11 is the most powerful and most efficient DB model in the brand’s history. The front-hinged clamshell hood, distinct LED headlights and prominent contours of the grille, all come together to make the DB11 an instantly recognizable part of the Aston Martin line-up.
Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Palmer said: “We aspire to make the most beautiful cars in the world. DB11 is the absolute embodiment of what an Aston Martin should be and we have worked tirelessly to ensure that DB11 combines both exceptional design with the latest technology throughout. A brand new bonded aluminium platform, clever aerodynamics, a new characterful twin-turbo V12 and class-leading infotainment systems are just a few aspects which make this the sports car that will proudly spearhead Aston Martin’s second century plan.”

Add all of that to weight distribution of 51:49 to front and rear respectively, and the Aston Martin DB11 is definitely the car of our dreams. Isn’t it yours?
