Overview

The 2019 Aston Martin DB11 Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe. With a standalone trim on offer, the Aston Martin DB11 has a base MSRP of 198,995, competing directly with the Ferrari 488 GTB, the Audi R8 Coupe, and the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT. Only a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 503 horsepower and 513 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, the DB11 V8 Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. Aston Martin offers the DB11 V8 in 36 stunning colors, with the Appletree Green being our particular favorite.

Buying Advice

If buyers wish for every ounce of performance the DB11 can offer, we would recommend considering the DB11 V12 Coupe which not to mention might be an ideal buy. For the DB11 V8 Coupe, we recommend pairing it with the optional Park Assist and Blind Spot Monitoring for a safer driving experience.
