Launched at Geneva 2016, the new 'Second Century' DB11 signally a more modern, aerodynamic look for Aston Martin.
Sharp styling is complemented by all round LED lighting. The long bonnet flows nicely towards the flared rear arches, completed by the neat integrated aeroblade boot spoiler.
The 600bhp twin-turbo V12 provides a significant 150bhp increase over the outgoing DB9, bestowing the DB11 with a 200mph max, making it the fastest ever production Aston, bar the limited edition One-77. Thanks to a new 8 speed auto and a hefty 516 lbft of torque from just 1500rpm, acceleration is epic. The standard 0-62mph sprint now takes under 4 seconds.
The cachet of driving what is the equivalent of James Bond's DB10, will have well heeled enthusiasts thrusting their £155k cheques eagerly into Aston Martin's hands.
