ASTON MARTIN UNVEILS THE DB11:
THE LATEST IN AN ILLUSTRIOUS BLOODLINE
A new chapter in Aston Martin’s history has been opened in Sevenoaks with the
unveiling of the DB11. The first product launched under the company’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.
The DB11 showcases a fresh and distinctive
design language, pioneering aerodynamics and
is powered by a potent new in-house designed
5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Built
upon a new lighter, stronger, and more spaceefficient bonded aluminium structure, DB11 is
the most powerful, most efficient and most
dynamically gifted DB model in Aston Martin’s
history. As such, it is the most significant new
Aston Martin since the introduction of the DB9
in 2003.

Aston Martin before it, the DB11’s heart is a 5.2litre twin-turbocharged V12. Designed in-house
this new engine develops 608psi (600bhp) and
700Nm of torque, making DB11 the most
powerful production DB model ever. Naturally,
it’s the most dynamic and most accelerative too,
with a top speed of 200mph and a 0-62mph
time of just 3.9sec. Thanks to intelligent bank
activation and stop-start technology, that potency
is matched by greatly improved efficiency.

Aston Martin chief executive officer, Dr Andy
Palmer said: “This is not only the most important
car that Aston Martin has launched in recent
history, but also in its 103-year existence. The
DB11 rightfully places Aston Martin once again
as a leading brand in the luxury automotive
market”.

Like every Aston Martin, the heart of the DB11
is found beneath the bonnet, though unlike any
