Designed by Miles Nurnburger (exterior) and Matt Hill (interior) under chief designer Marek Reichman the DB 11 debuted at the 2016 Geneva Motorshow as a replacement for the DB9. The new design features new roof strakes that separate the body from the roof, available in black or body colour, and the Aeroblade intakes in the front strakes. The bonnet is a 'clam-shell' design made from a single piece of aluminium. The DB11 does not use the older Aston Martin VH platform but makes use of an all-new riveted and adhesive-bonded aluminium platform with more cockpit space. Production officially started on 28 September 2016.

 

At launch the only available engine was an all-new 5,204 cc twin turbocharged V12, called the AE31 of 608bhp.making it the first turbocharged series-production Aston Martin. The car is equipped with a rear-mounted 8-speed automatic transmission manufactured by ZF Friedrichshafen.

 

The DB11 V8 joined the line-up in early 2017, powered by a 4.0-litre Mercedes-Benz M177 twin-turbocharged V8 engine of 503bhp, developed by Mercedes-AMG, offering a weight saving of 254lbs over the V12.

 

The V12 was superseded in May 2018 by the even more potent DB11 AMR, with 630bhp rom its 5.2-litre AE31 twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Other unique features include a more aggressive exhaust note in Sport - Sport+ mode, black roof, dark interior trim and new 3.5 kg lighter, 20-inch forged alloy wheels. It is believed that this was brought about by the V8 performing better than expected narrowing the gap between the two models, which has been redressed by this more powerful variant.

 

In 2018 Volante versions of the Coupe were launched
