Aston Martin has long been considered one of the most luxurious super-car makers. Recently, however, their value has been warped in buyer's eyes because of lackluster technology and luxury detail compared to brands like Mclaren & Lamborghini who offer much more for the same, or often half of the price of the Flagship Aston Martin DB9. Well the DB9 is finally on it's way out & many nuances are on the way in. Thanks to concepts and limited production hyper-cars like the One-77, DB10, and Vulcan, combined with an unlikely alliance with Daimler, much of those nuances have made their way onto the new Aston Martin DB11.
I've always compared Aston Martin's to the temptress sirens of the sea. Beautiful from afar, singing songs of glory, but a disappointing shipwreck from up close. The British automaker has always been a master at exterior design from the DB5, all the way up to the Vanquish. The interior's of their cars, however, have carried outdated technology, less than supportive seating, and primitive design language for too long. But it was almost impossible to complain, as anything wrapped in leather is a pleasure to experience. You could always tell Aston Martin was just around the bend. Finally, the new DB11 has arrived. The DB10 as you may have seen, has become an exclusive to James Bond, leaving us with the next generation. Exterior styling, as always is perfect. It's perfect mixture of seduction and power. You might even say it look's like a Vanquish from the year 2020.
With the all new interior styling and technology provided mostly from Daimler, you'll finally be proud to swing open those swan doors and let your friends take a peek inside. The antiquated flip-up infotainment screen is out, and a more Mercedes like floating mounted screen is here to stay. You'll also notice a touch pad controller that looks like it's been ripped from an S-Class, wrapped in premium grade leather, and bolted into the cockpit of a much more deserving automobile. The seats are now much more refined, although in need of a bit more bolstering. You even get the diamond turn-blade style wheels straight from the Aston Martin DB10 on the set of Spectre. Aston Martin have left nothing to complain about, and has finally brought itself into the 21st century. If only this upgrade was brought to the $1 Million Aston Martin Lagonda. Orders are being taken now by most authorized dealers. The DB11 should set you back $211,000 at the start, although you'll probably never find one option deprived enough to be priced that low. Aston Martin expects to be shipping new DB11's in September. Are you a fan or the "new" Aston styling, or are you a fan of more classic affairs? Let us know in the comments below.
