In the DB11 Coupe, Aston Martin fuses another stunning piece of automotive design with powerful engines and a refined drive to end up with one of the most desirable grand tourers in the world. The two-strong range begins with the 528-hp twin-turbo V8 and stretches to the 630-hp twin-turbo V12. Both models use an eight-speed automatic transmission and send power to the rear wheels exclusively. An adaptive damping suspension is standard.
Both trims feature power-adjustable and heated front seats with memory settings. Leather upholstery is standard in the luxurious cabin, which can be customized to the finest detail. Dual-zone climate control, an eight-inch LCD screen, power-folding side mirrors, front/rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera system are all equipped. A Bang & Olufsen sound system and blind-spot monitoring can be optioned. On the V12 version, darkened exterior trim distinguishes this version.
The price of the Aston Martin DB11 Coupe starts off at an MSRP of around $200,000 for the V8 variant. Next is the DB11 V12 which increases the outlay to the region of $250,000. These prices exclude options (and remember, there is a plethora of those), taxes, licensing, registration, and a destination charge of $3,086.
To detail each one of the DB11's optional extras would fill more pages than is practical. Rest assured that the sky's the limit for fussy buyers without concern for how much things cost. There are a few carbon fiber exterior packs available and these will cost as much as $13,000. The 4-piece luggage set costs over $3,000 and the Bang & Olufsen sound system will require you to part with over $8,000. Once you consider all the premium paint and upholstery options, it's feasible to add well over $30,000 in options.
This is a tricky one to answer because, at $50,000 less, the V8 model nearly matches the V12's performance and, by virtue of being lighter, is a slightly more athletic handler. On the other hand, little can replicate the novelty of a large V12 power plant. For a couple of reasons, we're going to go with the V12. One, if you can afford the V8 at nearly $200,000, stretching to the V12 shouldn't be a big issue. Two, if you want an exciting British sports car, get the cheaper and more dynamic Vantage. Primarily conceived as a comfortable GT, the V12 fits that description to a tee. We'll leave the bewildering number of color/trim choices up to you.
