Saw one on Top Gear last night and thought it looked similar to the Jag F type particularly towards the rear end.
Just wondering if this car is sharing the same chassis platform as the Jag?

Please feel free to shoot me down in flames if im wrong?

I know the DB7 and Jag XJS shared the same platform back in the day and looking at the new Aston I can see F type in there, I could be wrong? But being as most car companies share many parts now, Im wondering if the partnership has been resumed?

My post was supposed to be more on the technical side of this car, not weather one liked it or not.

Does anyone have any information on the car platform? They did mention it shares electronics from Mercedes frown

In answer to the original question, no, the DB11 and F-Type underpinnings have nothing to do with each other. The DB11 has some Mercedes-Benz electronic gubbins, but is otherwise all AM.
Thank you, we got there in the end hehe
