2021 (71) | Aston Martin DB11 V8

The Aston Martin DB11 V8 represents a more agile and dynamic interpretation of Aston Martin’s definitive grand tourer, combining the elegance and long-distance refinement of the DB11 with a lighter, more responsive V8 powertrain. Powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 503 bhp and 675 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, the DB11 V8 accelerates from 0-62 mph in 4.0 seconds and reaches a top speed of 187 mph. Introduced as an alternative to the V12-powered DB11, the V8 model reduced weight over the front axle, sharpened the car’s handling balance and delivered a more sporting character while retaining the luxury, presence and grand touring capability central to the DB bloodline.

Chassis tuning for the DB11 V8 was developed specifically to complement the lighter engine, with revised suspension, steering, anti-roll bars and electronic calibration giving the car a more precise and engaging feel than the V12. The design retains the DB11’s dramatic clamshell bonnet, floating roofline, Aeroblade bodywork and wide, muscular stance, while the interior blends handcrafted leather, advanced infotainment and a deeply driver-focused cockpit. Combining Aston Martin’s signature design language with AMG-derived V8 performance, improved agility and everyday usability, the Aston Martin DB11 V8 stands as one of the most accomplished modern British grand tourers.
