Presented in March 2016, the Aston Martin DB11 was initially marketed with the V12 engine and later also with the V8 (September 2017 the coupé, March 2018 the Volante). The DB11, which is a 2 + 2 and therefore also offers two additional seats (albeit small), had the difficult task of replacing the DB9, which had remained in production for twelve years. Like the Vantage, the DB11 was also designed by Marek Reichman, who has headed Aston Martin's design department since 2005.
