Aston Martin DB11 1st Generation

2017–2023 · coupe

Successor to the DB9 — Aston's bonded-aluminum 2+2 grand tourer. Initial 5.2L AE31 twin-turbo V12 (600 hp); the V8 variant (2017+) used the Mercedes-AMG M177 4.0L twin-turbo (503 hp). 8-speed ZF automatic. Coupe and Volante convertible. Discontinued in 2023, replaced by the DB12 (2023+, also AMG V8 only).

Watch out: V8 cars share the AMG M177 service profile — predictable maintenance. V12 cars have higher long-term cost (timing, cooling, accessory drive). Aston infotainment was Mercedes COMAND from this era — dated but serviceable. Volante soft-top mechanism is fiddly; water-intrusion reports on older cars.
