New Aston Martin DB11 Prototype Can Make You Feel Like a Suave Spy; Check Out Performance, Specs Here
Being James Bond has a lot of perks. High-tech gadgets, gorgeous companions and fancy cars. But being a suave spy can also be difficult, so those who want to feel like 007, can have the next best thing -- the new Aston Martin DB11.
The spotted Aston Martin DB11 concept that will replace the 13-year old DB9 is already being hailed as the best sports car the British brand has produced to date. In fact, according to a report by Motor Mag, this upcoming vehicle will be equipped with a 5.2-liter Twin Turbo V12 engine.
Leader Call reported that the Aston Martin's new engine can generate up to 600 horsepower and can go 0 to 60 in under 4.5 seconds.
Regarding the looks, the DB11 really looks sporty and fast. The hood features four vertical vents, which can only mean that this supercar has a very powerful engine. Its front grille, sadly, leaves much to be desired as it looks like your typical Aston Martin grille.
Fortunately, the headlights make up for the front grille as its angular shape really looks menacing. Pundits noted that the rear lights of the Aston Martin DB11 is comparable to the Lamborghini Huracan and the Honda NSX, as it features a slim line design and a concave rear garnish with a pop-up spoiler.
It's also reported to have a completely overhauled chassis, which promises a weight drop compared to the outgoing DB9. The slimmer weight of the DB11 may be attributed to the more generous use of carbon fiber compared to previous generations.
In a related report by Car Magazine, the Aston Martin DB11 will make its official debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, which is expected to also reveal the majority of the specifications of the car.
Moreover, there's also an ongoing report that apart from the newly built Twin Turbo V12 engine, a lower variant of the DB11 will sport a 4.0-liter V8 engine that is created by Mercedes-AMG.
People desiring to drive one of these bad boys better start saving now because the supercar is reported to clock in at a price of $350,000.
But those who find Aston Martin's latest offering to be quite "affordable" and want a more expensive option, the Aston Martin Vulcan is already here and it costs not only $1 million, but $3.4 million -- however, it cannot be driven legally on the streets.
Vulcan buyers can maybe pat themselves on the back and just say that "at least it's pretty to look at!"
