First DB11s hit the market...

[Beefmeister]

Just seen that Romans have a DB11 in, looks stunning in Diavolo Red.

Couple on AT too, but far more boring spec:

Super brave man or woman to pay £40k to £50k over list

[AdamV12V]

Yup, at that money I would have taken a GT8 any day of the week.

[Beefmeister]

The red one is £205k, what was list on a launch edition car?

Launch car £167k

[Beefmeister]

Yikes that's quite a mark up!

[AWV12]

Also one with the steering wheel on the left (correct :-)) side available : http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=...

Not so much over list price I think, but for a demonstrator I would expect to pay less. Just wait a few months, and many will be available around the world for better prices.

The markup is for the inspection plaque Has anyone been on a tour of the factory lately and seen the good Dr. at work?

The Doctor has hardly any time available now, to be a part-time vehicle inspector.

Very busy smoozing with the all the new 'Second Century' customers, who order Aston Martin cars costing millions.
Vulcan £1.8 million, then AM-RB001 at £3 million.

The last few Vulcans took some shifting, but that was just a practice.
The sales technique was perfected for the next car, 150 cars and 500 'I will have one'.
This business is going so well, Doctor P. must wonder if there is any price ceiling for this game.
Any guesses for the price of AM-RB002 ?

Apparently he is. I also saw on my Facebore timeline a official Aston Martin video clip of him doing it.

Just saw this, one of the Youtubers has it for the weekend. Best spec DB11 I've seen - Arden Green, tan interior, body colour roof rails and silver wheels. Utterly perfect.

Yup, I like that one! Best colour on a DB11 so far for me...

[northernmedia]

Bloody gorgeous.

[Buster73]

Wheels are far better finished like that than the half black efforts I've seen on other cars.

[dxg]

It definitely needs those wheels on it as they draw your eye away from the awkward wheel arch shape.

Best view for this car is the rear three-quarters, in my opinion.

[ace of the base]

The Arden Green one looks beautiful - understated and elegant as a DB Aston should be.
I'm not keen on the black roof of the red Romans car and the black and grey ones just seem a bit dull.

Now that looks nice. Proper grill, nice colour, right wheels. Aston press dept. please take note.

[Beefmeister]

That is an Aston press car.

I still love the dark orange one, but that light blue one is a sack of arse.

[Mr Cod]

That blue think is an absolute crime against nature. I'm sure there must be a reason for it, but letting that thing be made fun of across most of the automotive media was a huge error. It looked like a hospital gown put on a tractor.

[Beefmeister]

I'm sure some bespectacled rollneck wearing hipster marketing f**kwit said something like 'There's no such thing as bad publicity" and "It will really engage with a new metric"

But really it's just a f**king awful colour scheme.
