DB11 Volante

Apologies if this is old news, I don't remember if the Volante has been shown without camouflage.

not old news, saw those scoops online earlier today- less disguise than we've seen Volante with before - looking good but loses some of what sets DB11 apart from 'the old guard' Gaydon Astons

I like it.

I'm delighted that the DB11 is such a highly rated, pretty and well received contemporary car. However everything about that shot reminds me how much of a catwalk beauty with such stunning, proportional and seminal design the DB9/V was. I quite like the DB11 but this new beauty may have ever so slightly stumpier catwalk legs But hey, a model is a model, right?

So where does the air go in for the virtual spoiler thingy or aren't they bothering with that because it's the poser's rather than the driver's version?

Looks like the exit across the boot lid is still there. Can't see where the intake is, could it be a 720s like double skin door? But maybe there's a pop up spoiler.
We'll have to wait and see.......

Is there such a thing as a driver's DB11?
I have driven one last weekend, it just felt like a big luxury GT, no feel of what's happening, just a soothing (albeit powerful) luxury cruiser. I just couldn't get emotional with that car.
A very good car, in the way a big Mercedes S-class coupe is, do I want one: no.

The intakes will need to be somewhere otherwise all that mumbo jumbo, repeatedly announced during the DB11 launch, about how the car is glued to the road, will be revealed as nonsense.

I just wonder, at what speed that system begins to have any noticeable effect?

I quite like it, but I'd either dig deeper or wait a year and get a used Vanquish S Volante instead.
