The DB11 took over from the DB9 in 2016 as the first model of Aston Martin's "second-century plan." It launched with a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12, joined by an entry-level V8 in June 2017. Shifts come from an eight-speed ZF automatic. Ours is a 2017 DB11 coupe in metallic grey over a tan interior.
