And it was an interesting observation about the interior noise on a 911

I was curious so I got a dB meter going during my commute today and it was mid 60’s dB as opposed to Harry stating a 911 is low 80’s which is a LOT louder....

Surprising

Nope, pretty sure it doesn’t have it. V12 in DB11 and DBSS definitely does.
quote from the font of all knowledge that is wiki....
"The M177 was the first variation[6] released in the Mercedes-AMG C63. In contrast to the M178, this version of the engine uses wet-sump lubrication. In the C63 and GLC63 applications, the turbos are single-scrolled, whereas in E63 and S63 are twin-scrolled and different exhaust manifold. The twin-scroll application also features cylinder deactivation.[7] This engine is also used in the Aston Martin DB11 and the 2018 Aston Martin Vantage, as part of the agreement between Aston Martin and Daimler AG that began in 2013.[8][9][10][11]"

it's slightly ambiguously worded, but it looks like it does have cylinder deactivation.
