“Shaken, not stirred” is what you would find James Bond saying to bartenders usually, but take a ride in the new Aston Martin DB11 and you’ll be both, at least, that’s what it look like based on the numbers the company claims this car can achieve.
Unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the DB11 sports the company’s new design language, which was first seen on the DB10 (which was exclusively built for James Bond).

The most distinctive feature of the new styling followed by the British automaker is the bonnet design, LED headlamps and the grille design – all of which make the car look more aggressive.
The fresh approach can be seen in the back as well, with a sloping decklid that merges with the tail lights.
There is a new engine under the hood as well – a 5.2 litre, twin-turbocharged V12 engine that churns out 600 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the car goes from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and goes up to a max speed of 320 km/h.
According to the company, the car comes loaded with technology too. To name a few, there’s a new instrument cluster which has a 12-inch TFT LCD display, a centrally mounted 8-inch TFT screen that supports gesture control and a 360-degree birds-eye view camera to help park this beauty.
Aston Martin is trying something new with the DB11, and by the looks of it, they are doing it well. And with numbers and features like these, Mr Bond might want to step up his game.
