The launch of the all new Aston Martin DB11

The brand new Aston Martin DB11 made its global debut at the Geneva Motor Show, and Singapore clients had the privilege of seeing the reveal at a simultaneous launch event at the new landmark Aston Martin showroom on Leng Kee Road.

The DB11 was unveiled by Mr. Patrik Nilsson, Asia Pacific Regional Director for Aston Martin, and Mr. Pang Cheong Yan, Managing Director, Prestige Division, Wearnes Automotive, in front of more than 200 illustrious guests and VIPs. 

The all new DB11 marks a new chapter in Aston Martin's history, the first product launched under the company's 'Second Century' plan. The latest in the illustrious 'DB' bloodline, the DB11 showcases a fresh and distinctive design language, heralding a new design era for Aston Martin. 

Built on a brand new lighter, stronger and more space efficient bonded aluminium structure, the DB11 is 4,739mm long, 2,060mm wide and 1,279mm tall. The DB11 also reinteprets the relationship between form and function with a series of fresh design signatures. Foremost amongst these are the dramatic front-hinging clamshell bonnet, distinctive LED head lights and accentuated lines of the iconic Aston Martin grille. The profile is equally dramatic, thanks to the roof strakes that flow uninterrupted from A-pillar to C-pillar. The clean lines continue at the rear, with a sloping decklid that smoothly blends into boldly sculpted taillights to create a new and unmistakable graphic.

The DB11 is powered by an in-house designed 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, producing 600bhp and 700Nm of torque, making it the most powerful production DB model ever. 

To exploit the advantages of its new body structure and harness the immense performance of the new twin-turbo V12 engine, the DB11's chassis, suspension, steering and electronics have been re-imagined, and key new technologies embraced. Multiple driver-selectable dynamic modes - GT, Sport and Sport Plus, an eight-speed automatic ZF transmission together with the new electric power steering and Torque Vectoring results in a driving experience that combines exemplary ride comfort and true sports car agility. 

The DB11 combines the very latest technology developed in conjunction with technical partner, Daimler AG, with the finest quality and hand craftsmanship. The all new instrument cluster uses a full-colour 12-inch TFT LCD display, while a second, centrally-mounted 8.0-inch TFT screen is dedicated to infotainment. 

With the wider door apertures, significantly increased occupant space - especially head and legroom in the rear - fully integrated rear ISOFIX mounting points for a pair of child seats plus a luggage compartment large enough to accommodate two large holdalls plus carry-on baggage, the DB11 is a genuine Grand Tourer.
