And now we also know what he can and what he will cost.

To start with the door in the house to fall, it’s not really a surprise how the DB11 like to see and what is happening under the hood. It was leaking pretty firmly in the headquarters of Aston Martin, so the photos of the latest flagship from Gaydon flew us literally to the ears. But that is in this case not so much because I think that there is no one that this is not a nice car. Sure, you can argue about the fact that you have an old DB5 or DB9 looks better, but this also remains very nice to look at.

On to the things that we are still not sure knew. To start with the drive. There is a twin-turbo, 5,2 liter V12 under the hood. That is good for over 600 hp and 700 Nm of torque. It is the allerkrachtigste DB ever. (The One-77 was stronger, but that was not a DB, right?). He sits in 3.9 seconds to 100 the top speed is 320 kilometers per hour.

Aston rushes to say that it is with the gas mileage bad, in part due to a new start-stop system. Furthermore you can onboard choose from a number of modes that the handling affect. So you have GT, Sport and Sport Plus. How those modes relate to each other in terms of hardness and throttle response I think is clear isn’t it? Switching happens automatically with an 8-speed gearbox from ZF. Or via the flippers on the steering wheel of course.

Well, the prices. What he in our country is going to cost is not yet known, but in the country of Angela Merkel, do you already have a for 204.900 German ekkermannen. I dare to say that he was in the Netherlands for at least three tons over the proverbial counter. Autsj… You are happy for a while still to save, the sales will start in the fourth quarter of this year. Do you want him to watch, he is, of course, also at the fair in Geneva.
