In the last James Bond movie Spectre, petrolheads were treated to the sight of a new Aston Martin called the DB10. Unfortunately, that car was made specially for the film, and only one road-going version exists. It was recently sold at an auction for a cool price of £2.4 million.
Fortunately, for the rest of us, Aston Martin has just unveiled their latest super GT car, the DB11. The DB11 looks less haunting than the DB10, but it's just as stunning and gorgeous.

Efficiency is key and this is the first modern Aston Martin to feature a turbocharged engine. Under the bonded aluminum structure beats a 5.2-liter V12 powerplant with twin turbos. Good for 600 horsepower and a 0-100km/h time of just 3.9 seconds. Top speed is an adequate 200mph or 321km/h. It's not bonkers fast, but it's certainly not slow either.

The DB11 isn't all about performance. Just like how James Bond saves the world in style, the DB11's interior is plush, inviting and downright luxurious. The main instrument panel is actually a 12-inch TFT display, whereas the secondary center control panel is another 8-inch TFT display. Hand-stitched leather seats also help ensure occupants are properly pampered.
There's also other high tech stuff like gesture controls and character recognition via an optional touchpad.
No word yet on pricing, but we heard that the first units will arrive on our shores later this year in August.
