What is an Aston Martin DB11?
The Aston Martin is a 2+2 sports supercar that is offered as both a coupe and convertible known as the DB11 Volante. It is powered by a buyer's choice of 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing 503 horsepower and 513 lb-ft of torque. Another engine option is the 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12, which is part of the AMR racing package and makes 630 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that shifts so quickly that it feels like a dual-clutch transmission. The transmission is shifted by steering-wheel-mounted paddle-shift levers so you can channel your inner Aston Martin Formula 1 pilot.
The DB in the Aston Martin model name stands for David Brown, who purchased the company in 1947. Brown was a successful engineer and entrepreneur, and through his family's transmission company, built tractors through the David Brown Tractor company. But in addition to engineering, he was a keen racing enthusiast.
In 1946, he saw a newspaper advertisement announcing the sale of a prominent motorcar company. It was all the shove he needed and according to stories at the time, he purchased it for $20,500 or so. Frequently referred to as the savior of the Aston Martin company, he built it into a legendary British brand. His time of ownership became known as the DB years.
