The Aston Martin DB11 is a two-door grand touring car by the British carmaker Aston Martin. It was manufactured as both a coupe and a convertible, the latter known as the Volante. Aston Martin produced the DB11 from 2016 to 2023 when it was replaced by the DB12. The DB11 succeeded the DB9, which the company made between 2004 and 2016. Designed by Marek Reichman, the DB11 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016. DB11 is the first model of Aston Martin's "second-century plan", and it incorporates aluminium extensively throughout its body, like its predecessor and platform siblings.
Official manufacture of the DB11 began at the Aston Martin facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, in September 2016. Two engine configurations of the DB11 were available: a 4.0-litre V8-engine model produced by Mercedes-AMG and a 5.2-litre V12-engine model produced by Aston Martin. The Volante version of the DB11 was introduced in October 2017. In 2018, Aston Martin and its racing division replaced the DB11 V12 with the DB11 V12 AMR, which brought an increased engine output. The V8-powered model also received an enhancement in engine performance in 2021.
