The Aston Martin DB11 is a two-door grand touring car. It was manufactured as both a coupe and a convertible, the latter known as the Volante. The British carmaker Aston Martin produced the DB11 from 2016 to 2023 and was replaced by the DB12. The DB11 succeeded the DB9, which was made between 2004 and 2016. Designed by Marek Reichman, who became Aston Martin's lead designer in 2005, the DB11 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016. The first model of Aston Martin's "second- century plan", the DB11 incorporates aluminium extensively throughout its body. 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. In 2018, Aston Martin replaced the DB11 V12 with the DB11 V12 AMR, which brought an increased engine output.
