DB11

[Jon39]

If this artist impression does turn out to be correct, what would your opinion be of the DB9 replacement.

[Philip0]

Existing DB9 is better looking - more curved, fewer lines, more graceful. The rear section of the artists impression looks like a Merc AMG - funny, that?

[michael gould]

looks great to me

[Y100]

If the DB9 was as Marek described it 'fundamental to what Aston Martin stands for', implying other models are then developed along more specialist lines from it, then I think the design bar just got raised significantly,,,,that is 'IF' the artist has got it right, I do hope so.

PS: Some artist, who is he/she?

^ this.

[RobDown]

my first impression is "can I afford to constantly buy new front tyres as those ones will surely hit the wheel arches with every bump in the road?"

Looks like a tweaked DB10 and just a bit too Germanic. I reckon the finished DB11 will look more like the DB9 that this one.

I concur. I think the rendering could be closer to the new V8 Vantage.

[michael gould]

it won't actually be like this in production ....it's just to give a flavour of what's on the way....they are not really going to shove 22" wheels in those arches ....I remember on this forum many slagged off the new Vanquish which I thought was beautiful ....if this is the next generation of Astons then they have got it right ......... good job Aston

Mine is at Stratstone today for its service and just had the call to say ......no problems apart from a very slightly leaking AC system which I have recharged for £55 every spring and a little surface rust on some break pipes .......jolly nice new service facility i have to say .......as always, thank you to Stratstone for looking after my DB9 so well and previously my 2 DB7's

One of the things I like the most on current models is the small number of cut lines in the front. On most cars, you've got cut lines for the headlights, but not the case with Astons. And only 2 bonnet cut lines since they go all the way to the front, allowing a nice clean bonnet without the need for a separate bumper cut line. This is pretty unique to the current gen of Astons; the rendition is a step backwards in that area, if true.

[CSK1]

You probably like Range Rovers then, clamshell bonnet, no cut lines!

I agree, the DB10 had no cut lines at all.

I was under the impression it's to do with legislation and pedestrian crumple zones as all new car designs seem to have them.

On th DB10 the front wings, bonnet and front panel are all a single piece, hence no cut lines. The entire structure hinges forward to access the engine.

I wonder if that might be one of the design cues being carried forward.

[SFO]

all the artists impressions of DB11 perfectly demonstrates what a tough job Reichman has

[RichB]

I have to say, when the first images of the V8Vantage were published back in 2005/6 (or whatever) I genuinely thought wow, that's stunning. So much so that I immediately placed a £1000 holding deposit on one at HWM. By comparison none of those images move me in the same way. So I would say Mr Reichman has his work cut out to design something truly stunning and none of those are anywhere near.

Why has it got a baby Aston in its mouth?

[Ed50]

Its like that Alien thing that chased about after Sigourney Weaver, Neil.

The smaller car shoots out to get you when your least expecting it.

I see where your coming from.

Preferr the first picture Glynn put up in the Silvery Blue with the big old fashion early DB mouth and grill.

Similar to the BMW i8, but with a 911 being pooped out the back. Prefer this end....
