Overview

Competing in the midsize coupe segment, the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 coupe is a direct competitor to the Bentley Continental GT coupe and the Ferrari GTC4Lusso coupe. The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 coupe is also a potential rival that is significantly more expensive and costs an extra $187,505 compared to the DB11. The DB11 starts off at an MSRP of $211,995, going all the way up to $230,345, with 2 trims in the lineup. Each trim is offered with a 5.2L Twin-Turbo V12 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 600 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the DB11 manages a 0-60 of 3.6 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 17 MPG. "Kelley Blue Book" and we are on the same page that "DB11's is downright functional". Check out more on this video.

Buying Advice

Our pick is the base trim which by default brings a number of features including parking sensors, an adaptive suspension, leather seats, heated front seats, and more. That said, among the numerous options and packages, we think the Contemporary Package is a good place to start.
