The Aston Martin DB11 is a two-door grand touring car. It was manufactured as both a coupe and a convertible, the latter known as the Volante. The British carmaker Aston Martin produced the DB11 from 2016 to 2023 when it was replaced by the DB12. The DB11 succeeded the DB9, which the company made between 2004 and 2016. Designed by Marek Reichman, who became lead designer in May 2005, the DB11 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016. The first model of Aston Martin's "second-century plan",{{sfn|Davies|2016}}{{sfn|"Aston Martin DB11: What the experts are saying". The Boston Globe}} the DB11—like its predecessor and its platform siblings—incorporates aluminium extensively throughout its body.

Official manufacture of the DB11 began at the Aston Martin facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, in September 2016. Two engine configurations of the DB11 were available: a 4.0-litre V8-engine model produced by Mercedes-AMG and a 5.2-litre V12-engine model produced by Aston Martin. The Volante version of the DB11 was introduced in October 2017. In 2018, Aston Martin and its racing division replaced the DB11 V12 with the DB11 V12 AMR, which brought an increased engine output. The V8-powered model also received an enhancement in engine performance in 2021.

In 2015, Aston Martin announced that the DB9's successor would be named the "DB11".{{sfn|Pollard|2015}} An upcoming series of vehicles, known as the "second-century plan", included the DB11 and was to introduce a refreshed design approach directed by Marek Reichman, whom Aston Martin appointed lead designer in May 2005.{{sfn | Gitlin | 2017}}{{sfn|Holloway|2014}}{{sfn|Dowsey|2010|page=318}} Insider reports indicated that this model range aimed to address critiques of the existing lineup by emphasising distinctive differences between the models, aligning them more closely with the prominent Italian luxury automobile manufacturer Ferrari.{{sfn|Holloway|2014}}

Manufacture of the DB9 officially ended in July 2016, after a twelve-year production run during which 16,500 units had been made.{{sfn|Noakes|2019|page=190}}{{sfn|Top Gear|2016}} The DB11 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016.{{sfn|"Full speed at Geneva Show".

Design

Similar to its predecessor,{{sfn|Dowsey|2010|p=268}}{{sfn|Noakes|2019|p=187}} the DB11 is based upon a platform—which it shares with the 2018 model Vantage{{sfn|Stevens|2018}} and the DBS Superleggera{{sfn | Top Gear | 2018}}—that extensively incorporates aluminium throughout its construction.{{sfn|Saunders|2024}} The chassis, in comparison to the DB9, is lighter and stiffer. Its body panels are made of both aluminium and composite materials, and the bonnet is a single-piece unit. Together, the car's flat underbody, rear diffuser and sizable front splitter manage airflow beneath the DB11, minimising lift. The DB11 features an AeroBlade that captures high-speed air at the C-pillars and channels it through ducts under the bodywork, exiting through slots in the boot lid. This system mimics the effects of a large rear spoiler, reducing drag without added bodywork. An extendable active spoiler enhances the AeroBlade's efficiency at high speeds.{{sfn | Gitlin | 2017}}

The DB11 has been described as both a sports car{{sfn|"Aston Martin starts new-product blitz to raise profile". Detroit Free Press}}{{sfn|"The 2019 Aston Martin DB11 AMR can tackle short straights, fast sweepers and tight hairpins with ease".

National Post}}{{sfn|"2017 Aston Martin DB11".

The Leader-Post}}{{sfn|Lanxon|2017}} The DB11 features anti-roll bars and double wishbone suspension supported by coil springs.{{sfn | "2023 Aston Martin DB11 V8 coupe features and specs".

The doors of the DB11, like the DB9,{{sfn|"When the lion roars, lesser beats scatter". The Toronto Star}} are swan-hinged.{{sfn|"2017 Aston Martin DB11". San Diego Union-Tribune}}{{NoteTag|Swan-hinged doors are a type of vehicle door with an outward and slightly upward opening style.{{sfn|DeMuro|2016}} They are essentially standard doors, but they are mounted on a slightly tilted axis to enhance ground clearance.{{sfn|Horncastle|2015}}}} The infotainment system operates on an eight-inch liquid-crystal display accessed via a rotary controller or an optional touchpad. Each DB11 comes with a 400-watt audio system, USB playback, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a Wi-Fi hotspot with iPhone integration. Upgrades were available for a 700-watt sound system or a 1,000-watt Bang & Olufsen unit.{{sfn | Irwin | Stafford | 2023}}{{sfn | "Gallery: 2019 Aston Martin DB11 Volante details".

The AE31 twin-turbocharged V12 engine, with a {{convert|5204|cc|L CID|1|abbr=on}} displacement, was featured in the initial version of the DB11.{{sfn | Petrány | 2016}} It produces a power output of {{convert|600|hp|kW}} at 6,500{{nbsp}}revolutions per minute (rpm) and a torque output of {{convert|700|Nm|lbft}} between 1,500–5,000{{nbsp}}rpm, sufficient to give the car a zero to {{cvt|60|mph|order=flip}} acceleration of 3.6 seconds and a maximum speed of {{convert|200|mph|order=flip}}.{{sfn | Quiroga | 2017}} Aston Martin began the development of the V12 engine in the summer of 2012 under the leadership of Brian Fitzsimons. The project progressed quickly; initial test firing began in October 2012, and it received approval for production in January 2013. The new V12 engine continues to use conventional fuel injection rather than direct injection due to concerns about the potential increase in particulate emissions associated with direct injection petrol engines.{{sfn | Rendell | 2016}} The DB11 V12 can run the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds.{{sfn | Quiroga | 2017}}

In May 2018, Aston Martin introduced the DB11 Aston Martin Racing (AMR) version, which succeeded the DB11 V12 and offered enhanced performance capabilities compared to its predecessor. The previous DB11 V12 had been in production for eighteen months. The updated DB11 AMR produces a power output of {{convert|630|hp|kW}} at 6,500{{nbsp}}rpm and a torque output of {{convert|700|Nm|lbft}} at 1,500{{nbsp}}rpm, sufficient to give the car a zero to {{cvt|60|mph|order=flip}} acceleration of 3.7 seconds and a maximum speed of {{convert|208|mph|order=flip}}.{{sfn | Irwin | Stafford | 2023}}{{sfn | Carson | 2018}} Its shift programming has been revised, its rear suspension is firmer and stiffer, and its twenty-inch forged wheels are {{convert|3.5|kg}} lighter.{{sfn | Marriage | 2018}}{{Sfn|Katsianis|2018}}

Aston Martin introduced a limited edition of 100 DB11 AMR Signature Edition cars at the beginning of production,{{sfn | Whiteley | 2018}} featuring a Stirling Green paint scheme with lime green accents.{{sfn | Baker | 2018}} It has a zero to {{cvt|60|mph|order=flip}} acceleration of 3.5 seconds—0.2 seconds faster than the base AMR.{{sfn | Whiteley | 2018}} Deliveries started in the second quarter of 2018.{{sfn | Whiteley | 2018}} In July 2021, Aston Martin announced that the AMR name would no longer be used for the V12-powered DB11 as part of their updated model lineup.{{sfn | Page | 2021}}{{sfn|Miller|2021}}

The original V12 model was supplemented by an entry-level V8 version in June 2017.{{sfn | "V8 advantage – Aston Martin launches 'more affordable' V8 DB11 grand tourer". The Daily Telegraph}} Powered by a 4.0-litre Mercedes-Benz M177 twin-turbocharged V8 engine developed by Mercedes-AMG, this configuration achieves a weight reduction of {{convert|115|kg}} compared to the V12 variant, resulting in a total kerb weight of {{convert|1760|kg}}. In contrast to the V12 model, the DB11 V8 has a weight distribution of 49{{nbsp}}per{{nbsp}}cent at the front and 51{{nbsp}}per{{nbsp}}cent at the rear.{{sfn|Barry|2017}}{{sfn|Ashraf|2017}} The V8 engine delivers {{convert|503|hp}} and {{convert|675|Nm}}, providing the car with a zero to {{cvt|60|mph|order=flip}} in four seconds and a top speed of {{convert|187|mph|order=flip}}.{{sfn | Brodie | 2017}}{{sfn|Duff|2017}} In July 2021, Aston Martin revealed an upgraded version of the DB11 V8. The power output was increased to {{convert|528|hp}}, allowing the car to accelerate from zero to {{cvt|60|mph|order=flip}} in 3.9 seconds and reach a higher top speed of {{convert|192|mph|order=flip}}.{{sfn|Page|2021}}{{sfn|Miller|2021}}

In October 2017, Aston Martin introduced the DB11 Volante, a convertible version of the DB11.{{sfn | Tisshaw | 2017}} The Volante has a weight distribution of 47{{nbsp}}per{{nbsp}}cent at the front and 53{{nbsp}}per{{nbsp}}cent at the rear, and is powered by the same 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine as the DB11 V8 coupe, albeit with more torque, at {{convert|696|Nm}}.{{sfn|Jurnecka|2018}} The DB11 Volante can accelerate from zero to {{cvt|60|mph|order=flip}} in 4.1 seconds and possesses a maximum speed of {{convert|187|mph|order=flip}}.{{sfn|Barry|2018}} The additional lower body strengthening and the electric roof mechanism in this version increase the weight by approximately {{convert|110|kg}}.{{sfn|"Aston Martin DB11 Volante review: a top-notch convertible for under $400K".

Reception

File:Aston Martin DB11 Interior (Dashboard).jpg

The DB11 has received mostly positive reviews. The journalist Jeremy Clarkson of The Sunday Times described the car as "phenomenally good", humorously noting, "if you're ever in Paris, at a party at 3{{nbsp}}a.m., and suddenly remember you are playing in a tennis tournament in Monte Carlo the next afternoon, this is the car for the job. You'd arrive feeling like you'd just got out of the bath".{{sfn | "The Clarkson review: 2016 Aston Martin DB11". The Sunday Times}} Reviewing for The Gazette, Peter Bleakney called the DB11 Volante "quite possibly the most beautiful grand tourer money can buy" and a "dynamic gem that wafts as it should yet engages, excites and shines when put on a challenging road".{{sfn|"Dynamic gem exudes beauty, performance". The Gazette}} Jack Rix of Top Gear stated that the DB11 marked "a solid start to a future portfolio that will be studded with flashier and faster members than this, but none that are quite so suited to being enjoyed every day, wherever you're heading".{{sfn | Rix | 2016a}}

Car criticised the DB11 AMR's interior, stating that the "motorised cubbyhole lid feels like it's on its last legs and the infotainment's poor, particularly the [sat]nav", but called it a "beautiful car to look at and to drive—particularly at speed".{{sfn | Miller | 2021a}} Matt Saunders of Autocar noted that its door sills are "slimmer than those of the DB9, making ingress easier as you swing your legs over and into the car's deep and roomy-feeling footwell".{{sfn|Saunders|2016}} In 2017, the DB11 won the Golden Steering Wheel award for most beautiful car of that year.{{sfn | Allan | 2017}}
