Aston Martin DB11 V8 review - is it better than the V12?

[rafiqahmed]

a solid vid. not only did u sound like a pro car reviewer this was ur best STG style review so far

I think one of the main reasons Aston Martin gave this car a V8 is to get way more sales in markets which tax vehicles based on their displacement, such as China & Singapore. The 1.2L smaller displacement over the V12 makes a big difference in those kinds of markets.

Thee db11 stitching on the headrest looks like some Microsoft word art from 1999

This is the type of car where you really need to be very careful with choosing the right spec because it is very easy to make it look horrible. Blue and black combination of this one suits it very well 👍 I still find it hard to get used to this new Aston design language. Their cars have always been very elegant and classy and this new design is kinda weird.

A real Aston enthusiast knows that most of the brand's models have either sported a 6 or V8 over the years. Nothing wrong with this at all. A proper engine that will also prove much more reliable.

Where do the Cars coming on the left disappear to? That's some mad editing.

[AutomotiveMike]

The engine is lighter, so more playful!

If I'm buying a DB11 it's gotta be the V12. If I want a V8 Aston, I'll get the Vantage.

[tonyknox]

That's what Aston wanted Sam, the V12 as a grand tour, and V8 as a drivers car, and more importantly for the Asian market where the taxes are so high, Great stuff Sam 👍

I've driven some of the older V12 Astons and they're probably similar: mountains of torque, lovely place to be and quick when you put your foot down but don't invite you to absolutely hoon it every saturday afternoon. Although I think this particular DB11 you drove does benefit from a much more punchy spec, which the car really needs IMO.
That said I agree it's not really a financial decision and the V8 DB11 is more of a sportscar competitor than a competitor for the V12 version. I for one would much rather have the Aston than an AMG GT for example. One problem for this car though is the new Vantage, which will probably be in the same ballpark price-wise and much more appealing in my view.

I've never driven an Aston Martin.. But I must admit, I don't really see the point of this car, other than perhaps a compromise car. If you want an Aston GT, go for the V12 DB11. If you want an Aston sports car go for the new Vantage. I am sure the V8 handles better than the probably nose heavy V12. But the vantage will handle even better. And if it is a GT you are after, the V12 just seems to have so much more caracter.

It has the AMG 4.0L V8 from the AMG GTR which has 577 hp .So the engine is clearly detuned, the engine has alot more power a rentech tune bumps up AMG GTR to 649 HP and with turbo upgrades 761HP. Imagine this thing with 761HP .It will be a pure monster and obviously faster than the V12 DB11 becuase of lighter weight and more power .Sam buy one of these used prevent Aston depreciation

I like the normal DB11, but the volante ist just gorgeous
the V8 amg engines are so refined and perfect for a sporty gt car + it dosn't break fast and easyer to repair

[SScars]

Funny that Sam I thought the opposite about the looks. Stunning to look at from the outside, decidedly ordinary, at least for an Aston, on the inside. New Vantage is soo much better in this respect!

[mooiboyace]

Looks pretty great on the outside, but I still *hate* the interior.

[scuxmaster]

The question should be "Why wouldn't you buy an V8 Aston Martin DB11"

[Anthony-qovc]

Wow that look left to right for the transition at the beginning of the video was superb!

[joshwilletts]

Sam this video is incredible ! Your videos have been getting better and better. I love your latest travel lifestyle videos, they are so well put together. And this one was like a pro car reviewer 👌🏼 makes a change from the others who only know how to wrap and buy and sell cars ! BIG FAN !

The colour is called Zaffre Blue. It's a brand new colour from Aston Martin Q palette. Compared with the Cobalt Blue, this one's a bit deeper under low light yet under bright light it's more iridescent.

[Zactroller]

you might wanna look at the lc500. it gives this car a run for its money
