A new chapter in Aston Martin’s history began at this year’s Geneva Motor Show with the unveiling of the DB11. The first product launched under the 103-year-old sports car maker‘s ‘Second Century’ plan, DB11 is the bold new figurehead of the illustrious ‘DB’ bloodline and an authentic, dynamic sporting GT in the finest Aston Martin tradition
Built upon a new lighter, stronger, and more space efficient bonded aluminium structure, the DB11 is the most powerful, most efficient and most dynamically gifted DB model in Aston Martin’s history. Showcasing a fresh and distinctive design language, and powered by a potent new in-house designed 5.2-litre twin turbocharged V12 engine, as such it is the most significant new Aston Martin since the introduction of the DB9 in 2003.
Engine: 5.2-litre, V12 Power: 600 hp Torque: 700 Nm 0-100 kph: 3.9 seconds Top Speed: 322 kph Price: `1,41,70,000 (before taxes)
Unveiling it at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, Aston Martin CEO 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.”
