2017 Aston Martin DB11 Launch Edition Coupe
s/n SCFRMFAV8HGL01306
Cinnabar Orange with All Metallic Black Interior

The DB11 is a particularly significant car for Aston Martin. Like the DB9 which preceded it, it is the first model produced on a completely new chassis architecture. The DB9’s bonded aluminum chassis employed a modular architecture which allowed it to be produced in a variety of forms, ranging from the short wheelbase V8 Vantage up through the most recent Vanquish. This platform, referred to as the VH platform, served for more than ten years and will eventually be replaced by the new platform, the first recipient of which is the DB11.

Introduced at Geneva in 2016, the DB11 marks several departures. Immediately noticeably is the evolved Aston Martin design language, first alluded to by the DB10, a concept car that appeared in the James Bond film Spectre but sold to the public. The new design language is more aggressive yet still beautiful in Aston’s great tradition, with clever use of surfacing and sculpting to create a more aggressive yet lighter look that masks the car’s imposing dimensions. A front hinged clamshell hood represents another departure, while Aston’s traditional grille identifies the car definitively.

The DB11 also features an all-new engine, a 5.2 liter twin-turbocharged V12 producing 600hp, making the DB11 the first turbocharged production Aston Martin. Aluminum is employed extensively in the construction of the chassis and body, and 0-60 mph arrives in 3.7 seconds and continues on to a top speed of 200mph even.

This particular car is a one-owner Launch Edition car with 1,300 miles covered since he took delivery new in June of 2017. It is part of the initial 1000 unit run of cars which were personally inspected and signed off by Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer. The car was delivered with all standard DB11 performance features including Intelligent Bank Activation (shutting down up to 6 cylinders for more economic driving), Limited-Slip Differential and Active Torque Vectoring Brake System, Aston Martin AeroBlade deployable rear spoiler, Dynamic Stability Control, Traction Control, and Positive Torque Control.
