T
his past fall, Aston Martin
debuted its all-new, striking
DB11. By the courtesy of
Aston Martin Summit/Short
Hills, I was fortunate enough to get
a look inside the brand's latest (and
highly anticipated) model during
a private unveiling held at Parlay
Studios in Jersey City before its
official release.
Over the past few years, the iconic
brand has made a tremendous effort
to invest more in new technology. The
DB11 itself is a full representation
of that effort, improving upon
its predecessor's navigation and
infotainment systems; according to
Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer,
it is "the most important car" they
have launched in the brand's entire
existence. The signature "DB," short for
David Brown—who bought Aston Martin
in the '40s— has long been the brand's
defining model. Those familiar with the
DB9, which helped define the modern day
Aston Martin when it took the automotive
scene by storm in 2003, will not only see
this new model as a vast improvement in
performance and looks, but ultimately the
shape of Astons to come.
