It was not an easy task for Aston Martin to come up with a successor of the stylish DB9. In 2015, the British manufacturer announced that the DB11. The upcoming model range, which the DB11 was a part of, was to introduce a new and fresh design approach directed by Marek Reichman, whom Aston Martin appointed lead designer in May 2005. Official manufacture of the DB11 began on 28 September 2016 at the facility in Gaydon. To demonstrate his commitment to quality, Aston Martin's then-CEO, Andy Palmer, personally inspected the first 1, 000 cars.
The DB11 was an instant hit. Jeremy Clarkson, at that time working for The Sunday Times, described it as phenomenally good. "If you're ever in Paris, at a party at 3 a. m., and suddenly remember you are playing in a tennis tournament in Monte Carlo the next afternoon, this is the car for the job. You'd arrive feeling like you'd just got out of the bath".
In fact, the DB11 was a car many clients hoped for. It featured slick new technology, a new 5. 2 liter twin turbo V12 engine and an advanced aluminum chassis. It was all new from the ground up and hugely important to the marque as it marked its second century. The twin-turbocharged V12 engine, with a 5. 204 cc displacement, produces a power output of 600 hp (450 kW) at 6, 500 rpm and a torque output of 700 Nm between 1. 500 5. 000 rpm. Top speed is 320 km/ h and acceleration from 0 100 km/ h in just 3, 9 seconds.
This specific car was delivered new in The Netherlands by official Aston Martin dealer Kroymans. It was ordered in a beautiful Magnetic Silver with a Californian Poppy leather interior with Black Obsidian inserts. It features extra options like a Bang & Olufsen Beosound audio system, Auto Park Assist, an Aston Martin car cover and umbrella. All service history is on file and done by Kroymans. With only 41, 000 km on the odometer, this car is ready to be enjoyed by the next owner for many more years.
