Photos of the upcoming Aston Martin DB11 have found their way to the internet. I do not think these things are leaked just a day or so prior to the car's official launch. It comes from the manufacturer one way or the other as it becomes too much of a coincidence as everyone seems to leak something just before a launch of everything these days.
So this is it. The new DB11. An evolutionary design that still takes after the DB9 and Vanquish. And the V8 Vantage....and even previous models too obviously. It then takes these cars and put a dash of new styling cues from the special for James Bond only DB10 in order to make the DB11 come to life.
You can see a lot of the DB10 in the way the passenger compartment is shaped. It somehow looks like it sits lower on its rear haunches and has a similar downswept line which flows from the C-pillar downwards. It has a less curled up bootlid compared to the DB10. It does not have the droopy looking nose of the DB10 if viewed from the side. It is more upright and blunt like the ones on the current batch of Astons. The DB10 also has a shorter wheelbase and is also more aggressive looking with a concept car air to it unlike this very production ready vehicle. One styling cue which I have doubts is the chrome looking bit that flows from the A-pillar to the C-pillar. I'd take a body colour option over this.
It is said that it will get a new 5.2liter biturbo V12 engine. Downsized from the 6.0liter V12 currently in use. An estimated 600hp and since its a turbocharged lump, ooodles of torque. 800Nm at least I would guess. More than enough for a secret agent to outrun bad people in a car chase.
Anyway, nice looking. I'd buy it if I had two million Ringgit.
