A second leaked image has given us an early look at the upcoming Aston Martin DB11.
Published by Dutch car-spotting website Autojunk, the picture suggests the DB11 wears an evolutionary design. It looks much sharper and more aggressive than the aging DB9 it’s replacing thanks in part to striking styling cues such as C-shaped tail lamps and vents cut into the front wheel arches, but it’s still instantly recognizable as a member of the Aston lineup.
The DB11 will launch with a brand new, twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12 engine that’s expected to make a little over 600 horsepower in its initial state of tune. Buyers who don’t need twelve cylinders will be able to order the DB11 with an Aston-specific version of the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine that powers Mercedes-AMG’s GT and C63. Most models will come with an automatic transmission, but Aston Martin remains committed to offering a manual transmission in the foreseeable future.
Stay tuned, Aston Martin will introduce the DB11 at this year’s Geneva Auto Show. We’ll be on location to bring you live images of it as soon as the veil is lifted.
