About the Aston Martin DB11
The Aston Martin DB11 is a two-door grand touring car by the British carmaker Aston Martin. It was manufactured as both a coupe and a convertible, the latter known as the Volante. Aston Martin produced the DB11 from 2016 to 2023 when it was replaced by the DB12. The DB11 succeeded the DB9, which the company made between 2004 and 2016. Designed by Marek Reichman, the DB11 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016. It is the first model of Aston Martin's "second-century plan", and incorporates aluminium extensively throughout its body, like its predecessor and platform siblings.
