Aston Martin DB11

Aston Martin, the english luxury carmaker announced their plans for the following decade, and the DB11 is the first part of their plan.
The design is purely aston martin, yet a leap into the contemporary world. The blades following the front wheels make the incoming air go along side straight to the AeroBlade™. This intakes the air pressure from the sides into the trunk, and lets it out from an opening in the rear, increasing the downforce, and eliminating the need of a spoiler. Thus, making the car look, sleek and compelling. The strokes and curves around the vehicle makes it without doubt one of the sucessors of some the most elegant cars ever to cherish our roads.
The interior is classy and usual Aston Martin, leather all along the interior of the car. Choosing a lighter colour scheme makes the cabin feel alot like an open-air space but this also may leave some reflections on the front and rear glass. with some enhancements to the infotainment system thanks to a collaboration with Daimler, it boasts with a Merc-like infotainment system, which is alot better than what Aston Martin originally created with the DB9, yet the screen looks rather distant from the console, as if someone left out their tablet PC on it and you may fing the infotainment navigations​ useful if you've been known to a Merc earlier. The steering wheel is heavy, useful for long hour drives which is what the car was made for. It also holds on the very usual controls and also the drive mode knob. This would let you switch between GT, Sports & SportsPlus without a hustle.
The DB11 is one of the most beautiful, yet amoung the most powerful GT's ever made as its boasts on a 5.2L twin turbo V12, which makes it different from the other members of the DB family. This makes it able to leash a 600 hp at 6500 rpm and a 516 lb-ft of force, teamed with a paddle-shifted 8-speed automatic. The high power makes this able to speed up to 200 mph and goes 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. All enough to wake your neighbor up in the morning, but also includes a GT mode, which reduces the roar of the beast.
At the end, the db11 comes packed with one of the best car desings, and an amazing car drive experience on the road. This although wasn't made to be a fast race car, but rather a GT used for long hour drives from one part of the country to the other. Easy to say, the DB11 does this best.
