The James Bond claim-to-fame Aston Martin DB line-up unveiled a new member at the Geneva Motor Show – The DB 11, which as stated by Aston Martin CEO is “not only the most important car that Aston Martin has launched in recent history, but also in its 103-year existence”. 00 (11)DB11, the first Aston Martin from the company's “Second Century” expansion plan is powered by a bi-turbo 5.2-liter V12 engine punching out 600 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and a peak torque of 700 newton meters from onwards of 1500 rpm. The engine rig is paired to an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission featuring a mechanical limited-slip differential with active torque vectoring.
