First Aston Martin Developed Under Mercedes-AMG Partnership The DB11, launched in 2016, was the first Aston Martin developed under the brand’s technical partnership with Mercedes-AMG, leading to a more advanced infotainment system and improved reliability.
Available with Both V8 and V12 Engines The DB11 was initially launched with a 5.2L twin-turbo V12 producing 600 hp, but later, a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 from Mercedes-AMG was introduced, producing 503 hp, offering a lighter and more agile alternative.
0-100 km/h in Just 3.7 Seconds (V12 Model) The DB11 V12 accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds, while the V8 model does it in 4.0 seconds, combining grand touring comfort with serious performance.
First Turbocharged Aston Martin GT Car The DB11 marked the first time Aston Martin used turbocharged engines in a GT car, improving efficiency and power delivery while reducing emissions.
Aeroblade Technology for Improved Aerodynamics Instead of a traditional rear spoiler, the DB11 uses an "Aeroblade" system, channeling air through hidden ducts to reduce drag and improve high-speed stability.
First Aston Martin with a Fully Digital Instrument Cluster The DB11 features a 12-inch digital instrument display, replacing traditional dials, along with an 8-inch infotainment screen sourced from Mercedes-Benz.
Convertible DB11 Volante Offers Open-Top Luxury In 2018, Aston Martin introduced the DB11 Volante, featuring a fabric soft top that opens in 14 seconds, combining the V8 engine with open-air grand touring luxury.
Handcrafted Interior with Premium Materials The DB11 features hand-stitched leather, carbon fiber, and wood trim options, with customization available through Aston Martin’s Q division.
More Focused DB11 AMR Replaced the V12 Version In 2018, Aston Martin replaced the standard DB11 V12 with the DB11 AMR, increasing power to 630 hp, improving handling, and refining suspension for a more performance-oriented drive.
Successor to the DB9, Paving the Way for the DBS Superleggera The DB11 replaced the Aston Martin DB9, introducing modern technology and turbocharged power, before the more aggressive DBS Superleggera was introduced as its high-performance sibling.

The DB11 redefined Aston’s grand touring legacy with its twin-turbo V8/V12 elegance. Now out of production, it’s becoming a future classic, especially in V12 manual and AMR specs.
