Aston Martin DB11 full review: aex.ae/2xA1WWr
The Aston Martin DB11 has been given suspension tweaks and a new engine in the form of a 503bhp V8. But with a lower top speed and a slower 0-62mph figure compared to its V12 brother, has Aston Martin actually made the DB11 sweeter than it was before? Time to find out…

Can't believe people are hating on the styling and interior. I love it all way around.
styling is very nice...those who hate on the styling simply lack class
AMG manages to get 600+ from the same engine. The V8 with a tune might actually be the bargain
Nice video! A back to back sound comparison and drag race would be awesome.
Where was this video made? Beautiful forest and mountains.
Heard Steve’s voice, clicked like.
this man never disappointed me :)
Xplosion51 pretty sure that’s slander.
libel, and yeah
So are the engines built in Afalterbach still? Does that mean the engine builder's name is on the engine too?
it's a shame it sounds just like a c63. or is that actually a compliment...
If people are mad the Maserati Ghibli uses Chrysler parts in its cabin, how do AM buyers feel about sharing infotainment controls with the most basic C300? The V8 is a great engine but it's found in a cheaper car at a fraction of the price... Not really sure AM customers are struggling to save that extra $10K
The typical Aston Martin customer could not care less about what brand his infotainment system is or with whom it's shared. An AM salesman I know has even gone as far as to propose Gaydon to just get ride of the entire Sat-Nav-thing at all.
That would actually make more sense in my opinion. The word most thrown around with AM, Bentley and RR is bespoke; something to separate their vehicles from mainstream brands. Highlighting the V8 as bestowing the car with better balance and lighter weight is merely clever marketing by AM. It's like a house with no windows but the agent says fresh air can get in more easily or a gaming computer with an outdated processor but hey it's never going to overheat.
If mercedes benz is one of the owners of Aston martin ...
I want the V8!
the V8 i drove hit more than 187 MPH the media likes to downgrade the V8 in my opinion i have a feeling its faster then what it is on papers
Is there a vantage V8 on the way or is this the replacement?
There will be a new Vantage! This time round they are going to be V8 only, apparently.
Vantage will have same motor but 200 kg lighter than DB11 V8.
I just can't get used to the rear of this car...The vanquish looks so much better
Tomo SA129 couldn’t agree more ! The rear styling is so bubbly and odd ..
The new Bentley Continental GT though, well that’s a true beauty inside and out! 👌🏻
I can't get used to the front, the lights have failed to grow on me at all.
Noooo way, its the most beautiful rear of all gt :D
@@HawaiianSurfer96
Yeah I like the front and rear but everyone has different opinions
Looks good bar the rear taillights, they are just hideous
any owners can comment on maintenance of V12 vs V8? Heart says V12, head says V8 will be more hassle free ownership.
wished that MERCEDES-BENZ didn't give it's AMG 4 litre twin turbo V8 to the DB11 from the AMG GT!
REPLY
My Lottery Dream GT.
I swear only the bottom half of the engine is AMG
They did not only ruined the car by turbo charge engines , they used AMG engines ...woth nothing now to me , if it had the old ignition key i will not care but it dose not
Agree with others the font on the seat is rotten and the air vents are seriously lacking character
can't believe people comparing a state of the art turbocahrged V8 with an old V12. take the same technology of the V8 and build a V12 with it and you easily will have 50% more torque and more power. SO if the V8 is 600 HP, the V12 shall be 1000 HP.
Fiesta coupe
A V12 engine is always much better.
No unless it has a manual
I'm sure it was great, but fuck me, who designed that heinous interior? I wouldn't sit in it for two minutes without puking. And the seat logos? They look like my nephews drew them with their crayons.
Ford Escort interior.
The interior looks nothing like a ford escort
Aston Martin has lost the edge in beauty department
They should never have used the AMG engine and interior bits (infotainment, etc). Just makes it lose its character and feel. Not impressed. Did Aston really need to do that? Sad.
That interior looks horrible, not to mention the hideous font used for the "DB11" on the seats.
Sandouras looks like the secretary using Word or PowerPoint rather than the designer using InDesign or Illustrator 😉
great fresh font
also the central console looks like cheap plastic and the lcd screen looks like a tablet computer from the 90s. looks like a 40-60k price car at best
Yeah, but you can customize it. There is plenty of colour and styles to choose from and DB11 can be removed from the seats. Check configurator on Aston Martin website.
"Good going on great"? For that kind of money it better be "Great going on Sublime". C'mon man.
They went wrong on the exterior and the interior design , which is a major selling point of Aston martins . The previous looked classier , calm and worth it's price .
I agree with a lot of people on here, the interior is just awful, it looks more old fashioned than the db9 imo, the new Bentley continental makes this interior look cheap and old
That interior is hideous.
Not sold on the overall styling either.
Nice vid.
A Mercedes engine? Really?! What, nobody in England could come up with a proper engine? ( Cosworth or Ricardo anyone ?) Seems like the luxury manufacturers are making these almost German/British hybrids on a regular.
Still not fan of the looks! Previous Astons were just right. This needs some digesting.
rauli6000 have you seen one on the road and in a good color? It looks miles better.
Macus Thomas I bet it does look better on the road 👍 Also one review had black one in it and it was way better lookin.
I seen one on the road and it is still an impressive car with amazing presence , but the front lights still don't look right to me.
Is this Chris Harris voice???
New Vantage looks much better, and I bet it will be faster.
Not as luxurious
So has Aston basically become a subsidiary of Mercedes? They share so much with each other it seems like Mercedes is keeping them afloat
AMG GT C over this anyday.
Not a fan.. The interior is a tragedy..
4 seconds to 60? wtf we are in 2017
alex vladescu LC500 4.8 GrandTurismo S 4.5. S63 4.1. It's not competing with R8 V10 or 991 Turbo.
LOL keep playing with your toys boy
Looks like an uglier version of a vantage
This car is awful inside and out. Astons should be beautiful and fast and this is neither.
Well it's fast
Do we need a V12 anymore....?, other than the romance of a Ferrari having been the spiritual owner of the V12 Cars today in the 21st Century are making way more power,more torque, are lighter,even better on fuel foe Heavens sake!, but is the V12 really worth £70K more than the V8?, for the sake of a few tenth here and there the V8 is at moment all the Aston you'll need.
what! a Aston Martin with a german engine WTF. Winston Churchill will be turning in his grave. i wonder if its as fast as a Tesla 4 door family sedan?
If I'm not mistaken, the V12 from the DB9, Vanquish, etc. is built at a Ford engine plant in Cologne, Germany. So effectively, these are also German engines.
Aston engines have almost always been German
Great looking video, but an ugly looking car. This is a disgrace for Aston Martin.
That rear end and most of the details have completely ruined the car's looks. Surely they could have made the car look better without adding those meaningless overdone details even when keeping areodynamics in mind.
The ugliest interior ever!!!!!!!!!!
There are several other materials and combinations to choose from, this particular one does look hideous tho
