There is no doubt the long-term relationship with the James Bond film franchise raised the profile of Aston Martin to dizzy heights, however the cars themselves are nevertheless something special.
The DB11 with its 5.2lt twin turbo powerplant is without question up there as one of the factory’s greats.
In a review of the car, Mark Higgins noted: “While the DB11 is a perfect long-distance missile, its ability in tackling corners and nimbleness when rapidly changing direction is deeply impressive. The steering is superbly weighted and as speeds rise its feel and feedback is dialled up making it lively and accurate, allowing precise placement of apexes while encouraging corresponding grins from the driver.”
The V12 claims 447kW and is matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
This car is with Young Timers Garage in Melbourne, priced at $229,990.
