The db9 was a tough act to follow. They nailed it with this one. A timeless Modern interpretation of an aston, that respects the past, is identifiable and curters to both new and old customers.
As an engineer´s perspective.. Man. what on earth, I mean. Engine, design, size. Since Aston started, I do really get moved by the type of cars they create. Though, Porsche is my beating heart, what a beautiful timeline of Astons they did.
more like a dog's collar, he really should take it off for filming :( I know that people may have different tastes and we should respect them, but as a journalist you should try to look neutral to some extent and not divert attention
Again. I've got 2 deductions right here. 1.- He does not read the comments 2.- He's trying to prove a point, and in a "rebel" act he used it again Either way, he's still looking like an idiot and he's doing nothing to change that... well that's his problem at the end of the day :)
Probably the best colour I've seen on the DB11 so far, still not sold on the shape but this colour shows the shape in its best light for me. The wheel design seems too thin though, but who cares with that noise
This is proper car journalism dissecting the car for exactly what it is as opposed to driving down two A roads then concluding your opinion on a short twisty race track against "competitors"
Test drove it on Saturday and it definitely looks better in the flesh. Feels a lot bigger and the lines look awesome. This particular colour doesn't show off the lines as well as a pearlescent white or James Bond Grey. The drive is sublime but I do think it could have done with an additional comfort mode below GT mode for the ultra comfortable cruising ride. The sport and sport plus modes really stiffen the whole car and the noise is just beautiful. Externally I don't think the car can be faulted. It's by far the best looking GT on the planet. Internally, the reviewer is right about the TFT screen. It looks out of place and by now Aston should have really gone for a touchscreen display that is integrated in to the dash. The centre compartment is powered by a electrically sliding top which makes a funny noise and should be more silent. The rest of the interior inc leather, seat comfort, seating position is sublime. In terms of comparison to other Astons, this is lighting years ahead in all round build quality. Aston may have caught up to current rival manufacturers such as Bentley with this model. However with the new Continental GT due out based around the EXP, it could fall behind again. In my overall opinion they've got it almost right with still a few niggly annoying bits that could have been done better considering it's a £180k car.
On my lunch breaks in Twickenham I used to see one in Titanium/gun metal parked by the river and it looked a lot better than the garish sky blue one in the video. I mean it popped like you wouldn't even see the rest of the parked cars around it.
If you are not a fan of the DB11 check out the Vanquish Zagato. I think this car is nice, Astons always look out of this world in the flesh on the road. Really looking forward to seeing the next vantage as personally I prefer smaller 2 seat sports cars like the F-Type.
I love the interior colors, and sculptural feel. I don't like the black roof. Even though I'll probably never see one, I got a real good sense of the car from this guy. Thanks.
it's an amazing GT car it takes inspiration from the old with long bonnet and a small rear. I wouldn't complain about the long bonnet. I wouldn't mind if it started and ended at the rear on my same car
the director ...cameraman...of ALL your x-car carfection videos is a MAGICIAN...dont know how many people are in the film crew but everything is perfect....scenery ...lighting...camera angles...sound...all is pure art!!!! dont like this specific color ..though...its like you took a ''shmee blue'' aston db11 and put it in a giant laundry with bleach!!!!
It pains me to say it, but I'm not a fan of the styling. I thought it might grow on me but it hasn't, that it looks better in certain colours proves it, I think. A DB9 looks great in any colour, like the clever aero though, but other than that it's a step backwards.
Having seen this on-camera, I can definitely see where people are less than enthused by the new styling language. But I implore those same people to wait to pass judgement until they see one in person. It's absolutely stunning (but it's better still with the body color roof strake).
Drives a GT Cruiser... spends the entire video driving on B roads complaining the car isn't built for that. Next time lets buy a 18 wheeler and complain its not suited for the tight city streets of Rome.
To me it already looks kinda old, and i have no idea about how they will keep the buyers interested in a thing that looks like that in the years to come. Nope. Def. not my thing. Too bad when every reviewer out there seems to love driving it, and - eventhough i hate that they put turbos on it - at least they didn't do the Porsche 718 thing. The big Astons should be V12s :)
The manufactured noise that we are all hearing these days from the new turbo engines will never replace a real N/A engine. I am so glad I bought a DBS before the prices started to rocket!
"Farting tractor!" Love it. Sums up AMG cars precisely:-) Everybody is raving about how great the DB11 V8's handling is compared to the V12 but it sounds just like an AMG. That sound doesn't suit the Aston.
Sounds like it's a quick car. However, the DB9 is not going to be forgotten when compared to this. I think the DB9 is indeed understated. This model though.. I'm not so sure
I am not a troll or a hater but you seriously wore a puma polo shirt and a freaking hippy necklace while reviewing one of the most elegant and distinctive british gt car on the road? ITS A F...ING BOND CAR ITS AN ASTON MARTIN, even Salomondrin would have worn a suit!
Astons to me have always had a very minimalist and classy look. This just has too much going on everywhere :( DB9 is still the best looking in my opinion
Many people complain about the the DB11 body lines and interior but I think it is pretty awesome.
Anyone agrees?
same
I quite like it and Im sure that like with all Astons its going to age well and prob grow up on ppl disliking it atm.
BuRuRu92 exactly
Of course it is.
I think they did some things really well and some not so much, like the rear kinda looks weird to me
One of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Incredibly striking.
Those slow-motion hand gestures were actually really helpful and visually pleasing. Nice!
I've fallen in love with this car
not really an Aston Martin fan but God damnnnnn that is a beautiful masterpiece

Love the front view.. And the arc back look to the iconic DB5.. Great touch Aston..
I like to see Alex review these. I think he's the best reviewer out there. He should have got Top Gear.
I love how Astons are still making pure grand tourers. They're pretty much the only ones doing it these days.
I like the new DB11, my neighbour has just bought one and it's absolutely gorgeous.
Theses videos are so perfectly made. Congrats on the cameramen and video editors.
Beautifully shot, well done!
I have just brought db11 man this car works fanstastic
Brilliantly informative but engaging review and great cinematography.
This is honestly the best looking car I've ever seen.
NECKLACE.
more like a dog's collar, he really should take it off for filming :(
I know that people may have different tastes and we should respect them, but as a journalist you should try to look neutral to some extent and not divert attention
It's so unbelievably fruity I cannot continue. It's the worst thing I've ever seen in a carfection video.
Again.
I've got 2 deductions right here.
1.- He does not read the comments
2.- He's trying to prove a point, and in a "rebel" act he used it again

We don't need to be reminded you are gay as most car guys aren't.
please continue on as you do, not listening to them, btw you look fine, as does this aston
very good review, i think the car looks good, it's sexy and the design is not overly done (except the roof line ) t like it.
Beautifully filmed guys not to mention spectacular location... Cant wait to see more like this
Probably the best colour I've seen on the DB11 so far, still not sold on the shape but this colour shows the shape in its best light for me. The wheel design seems too thin though, but who cares with that noise
what bridgestone tires does this come equipped with? I think this is one of the prettiest new cars on the market today.
Potenza after the full name not known
+Redge Diakité yes potenza is the sport line of their tires but which one is specific. anyway i read its a specially developed tire for the db11
The tire's full name is Potenza S007. Aston wasn't going to let James Bond slip that easily, I guess.
Always a pleasure to watch carperfection videos... 👍
awesome shots! your quality is very very good :)

its good to see this perfect car on the perfect channel
Didn't think much of it until I saw one parked up. A very sexy bit of kit.
On my lunch breaks in Twickenham I used to see one in Titanium/gun metal parked by the river and it looked a lot better than the garish sky blue one in the video. I mean it popped like you wouldn't even see the rest of the parked cars around it.

In 1996 the 550 Maranello's 0-60 was quoted from 4.1 - 4.4sec and was capable of 200mph.
first like after 1K views? How's that possible? Perfect production and post production of the video.
I love the interior colors, and sculptural feel. I don't like the black roof. Even though I'll probably never see one, I got a real good sense of the car from this guy. Thanks.
Sad to see Aston tachometer no longer revolves counter-clock wise..
at least it's readable. the gauges in the vantage, though attractive, are difficult to read in sunlight.
I'm liking the color scheme and style in general. I hope I can one day buy it.
Front and sides are amazing...
Not sure about the rear
Really enjoyed this Ford Mustang DB11 review ;)
Using hands to visualize airflow is genius :D
Love at first sight, I would do anything to have this car
it's an amazing GT car it takes inspiration from the old with long bonnet and a small rear. I wouldn't complain about the long bonnet. I wouldn't mind if it started and ended at the rear on my same car
Love the video ! Top notch quality visuals !
I don't know but there's something missed about the design, I need to see it in public before I judge it, but that interior is just UGHwesome !!!
An Absolute Beauty.... Love this car
I think they should bring back the "Power, Beauty, Soul" digital somewhere and the crystal key start sequence. It was always so cool to me.
This show is amazing.
the director ...cameraman...of ALL your x-car carfection videos is a MAGICIAN...dont know how many people are in the film crew but everything is perfect....scenery ...lighting...camera angles...sound...all is pure art!!!!
dont like this specific color ..though...its like you took a ''shmee blue'' aston db11 and put it in a giant laundry with bleach!!!!
that interior is so good, like damn, Aston making those moves
That car is perfection. Honestly
I'd love to see this car in a wind tunnel, especially the aero blade which is a super cool idea. The car looks really good in that colour too IMO.
Immediate first impression I get: One of the sweetest looking cars of all time.
All those who are complaining? You guys need to see this car in real, It's absolute stunner
This color is astonishing
Just beautiful inside and out.
this most be the most beautiful supercar this year
It pains me to say it, but I'm not a fan of the styling. I thought it might grow on me but it hasn't, that it looks better in certain colours proves it, I think. A DB9 looks great in any colour, like the clever aero though, but other than that it's a step backwards.
Excellent video. Love the car!
i think it looks gorgeous!!!!
interior is sexy. not sure on the rear and exterior proportions though.
I agree.
Completely agree
+Ung Tran what is exterior proportion??
JACK DOLAH sorry i meant rear AND exterior proportions.
the rear looks terrible from any angle, and the infotainment screen is crap :( the rest are pretty good though
New design, new infotainment and interior but all that with the old NA V12, that would have been amazing!
Having seen this on-camera, I can definitely see where people are less than enthused by the new styling language. But I implore those same people to wait to pass judgement until they see one in person. It's absolutely stunning (but it's better still with the body color roof strake).
that silhouette is pure perfection
Perfect, as always
Lmao Salomondrin wasn't too far off with his parody of your reviews
Totally agree.
Drives a GT Cruiser... spends the entire video driving on B roads complaining the car isn't built for that. Next time lets buy a 18 wheeler and complain its not suited for the tight city streets of Rome.
Don't be so bitter. It was a funny parody.
Great review, guys.
When I saw the necklace it was very difficult not to immediately leave
great review. straight v12 sound better than turbo
Stunning car & great review!
One word... INSANE !
That necklace was something you wore in your warm holiday destination back in 2006.
Cool Aston. Pro tip: you need to balance the voice over volume with when you are in front of the camera talking.
Maybe the most beautiful car at the moment.
That is a beautiful car. Seems like a story in itself. :O
really nice new car looks and works well i do like the wing on other cars still needed for real downforce
looks stunning
such a nice car. I'm in love
To me it already looks kinda old, and i have no idea about how they will keep the buyers interested in a thing that looks like that in the years to come. Nope. Def. not my thing. Too bad when every reviewer out there seems to love driving it, and - eventhough i hate that they put turbos on it - at least they didn't do the Porsche 718 thing. The big Astons should be V12s :)
The old V8 will be replaced by a twin Turbo V8, but not the V12. It will be built by AMG, but it's entirely up to Aston Martin how they make it Sound.
The manufactured noise that we are all hearing these days from the new turbo engines will never replace a real N/A engine. I am so glad I bought a DBS before the prices started to rocket!
"Farting tractor!" Love it. Sums up AMG cars precisely:-) Everybody is raving about how great the DB11 V8's handling is compared to the V12 but it sounds just like an AMG. That sound doesn't suit the Aston.
In 5 years, when I'm a consultant, all my money will be squandered on this.
A year left, I presume?
At the very beginning of this video, can you tell me which car's engine is making that roaring sound ?
Front looks like a wide fat Focus, the rear looks like a wide fat Renault Wind. Looks decent but not as timeless as the DB9
Perfect review!
This car is absolutely fucking beautiful
People were complaining about how Astons looked the same for the past 15 years and when they finally change it up they bash them lol
I get why this is Mina’s fav car
Which car bowls you over in term of looks??
I didn't like the styling in still photos from car show but out on the road the rear end looks very nice, a bit f type meets 718 but I like that!
Honestly the more i look at it, the more I like the design.
There's a whiff of Alfa Disco Volante about it... Also what is the track at the end? Zero7?
I DEMAND 4K, THIS VIDEO IS TOO GOOD NOT TO BE
i am imagining that piece of kit in pitch black paint.
oh my.
"The interior is pure Aston...the new infotainment system and a lot of the controls come courtesy of Mercedes..."
mercedes is not hyundai
Sounds like it's a quick car.
However, the DB9 is not going to be forgotten when compared to this. I think the DB9 is indeed understated. This model though.. I'm not so sure
Thank god for this car. Now the price of the older, better looking DB9/DBS should come down
Can you Switch off the beeping it does (some sensors) when driving too near to something?
I certainly want One.
Feels like they need to make one with more conservative plastic styling.
beauty with a beast of an engine in it
The DB11 is a beautiful car from the outside. The interior, however, I'd have to spec a bit more low-key than this example.
I am not a troll or a hater but you seriously wore a puma polo shirt and a freaking hippy necklace while reviewing one of the most elegant and distinctive british gt car on the road? ITS A F...ING BOND CAR ITS AN ASTON MARTIN, even Salomondrin would have worn a suit!
I don't normally ask this but what song plays after the video? Great review as always of course
Back To Blue by Bruce Maginnis
Can you make a review of the Ford Taurus SHO?
Astons to me have always had a very minimalist and classy look. This just has too much going on everywhere :( DB9 is still the best looking in my opinion
