In a road test conducted by Car and Driver, the DB11 accelerated from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 3.6 seconds and ran the quarter mile in 11.7 seconds at a speed of 201 km/h (125 mph). The DB11 accelerates from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 3.8 seconds and can attain a top speed of 322 km/h (200 mph). The car is equipped with a rear-mounted 8-speed automatic transmission manufactured by ZF Friedrichshafen. Aston Martin also decided against a dry-sump lubrication system, instead optimizing a wet-sump design to perform under the high-g loading sustained when owners drive on a track. The new V12 retains conventional fuel injection and not direct injection because of worries over increased particulate output with DI petrols. The DB11 V12 is powered by an all-new 5,204 cc (5.2 L 317.6 cu in) twin-turbocharged V12 engine called the AE31, making it the first turbocharged series-production Aston Martin. The car won the prestigious Golden Steering Wheel Award from Axel Springer which crowned it the most beautiful car of 2017.
But there is a price to pay." He did not like the interior of the car he tested. You'd arrive feeling like you'd just got out of the bath. Motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson quoted: "If you're ever in Paris, at a party at 3am, and suddenly remember you are playing in a tennis tournament in Monte Carlo the next afternoon, this is the car for the job. Matt Prior of Autocar awarded the DB11 a perfect five stars in his review saying, "If there is a GT car with a better chassis, I have not driven it." Jack Rix of Top Gear Magazine was also positive in his review stating, "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." The reaction from the motoring press reviews has been positive, including statements such as "it's a pretty fabulous way to sit behind 600 horsepower" from Car and Driver.
To demonstrate commitment to quality, the CEO of Aston Martin at the time, Andy Palmer, checked the first 1,000 cars himself. Production officially started on 28 September 2016. Production ĭuring the DB11 coupé premiere, over 1,400 cars were ordered. The DB11 does not use the older Aston Martin VH platform but makes use of an all-new riveted and adhesive-bonded aluminium platform that shifts the emphasis from extrusions to stampings to create more cockpit space which would also underpin future Aston Martin models including the Vantage. The bonnet is a 'clam-shell' design made from a single piece of aluminium. New design features include new roof strakes that separate the body from the roof, available in black or body colour, and the "Aeroblade" intakes in the front strakes.
