Aston Martin, an ultra-luxury car brand from the United Kingdom, has a history of more than 100 years. Many people in China know more about this brand or come from the "007 Series" movie, noble, elegant, high-end these are the labels on its body. Xiaobian believes that if you talk about temperament, Martin does not lose any high-end brand at all, it can be said that Martin's speed is not fast enough, but the temperament of this piece, that is pinched to death. Today Xiaobian wants to talk about an Aston Martin, DB11 V12:
This is an Aston Martin DB11 V12 used car, delivered at our Enzo network this year. The car was produced in June 2017, but when it changed hands this year, it only ran more than 11,000 kilometers, an average of more than 2,000 kilometers a year. Because the original owner of the car is abroad, he rarely drives this car, so sometimes he deliberately lets the driver drive out a few times to "warm up". DB11 this series of sales or V8 version, V12 is still very few, suitable for "both the best, but also the most expensive" boss. At present, the CURRENT DB11 on sale does not have a V12 version for the time being, it is a V8 version, and it is likely to become a masterpiece, so the Martin Xiaobian of this V12 is still worth seeing, after all, V12 is getting less and less. The DB11 V12 was originally purchased for 3.75 million yuan, and now it is delivered to the new owner of 1.886 million, which is basically a discount. What's more, the mileage of this car is so low, and the daily maintenance is very meticulous, which can be called the condition of the car. The new owner, and also our old friend of Enzo, Mr. Yao from Xiamen, Fujian Province, is also very satisfied that we can find such a source of car.
The most prominent front face of the DB11 is of course Aston Martin's iconic "big mouth", which is also a gentleman with a hint of ferocity. The hood line is obvious, like a bulging muscle, compared to the V8 model, this V12 series of hoods also have two more heat dissipation ports, a total of four, from this point can also be distinguished at a glance V8 and V12 models. The way the engine compartment cover is opened is different from that of ordinary models, and it is opened in the opposite direction towards the outside of the front of the car. The headlight is a full LED light source, but the function is relatively limited, and the height of a headlight is adjustable.
The side should be the ideal viewing angle of this Aston Martin DB11 V12, the classic 0.618 golden ratio split, which is what a large GT sports car should look like. In terms of body size, this DB11 V12 is no different from the V8 model of the same year, which is 4739 *1950 *1279 and has a wheelbase of 2805. The original wheel hub is equipped with 20 inches, the whole series is the same, the tire specifications are the same, the front 255/40 R20, the rear 295/35 R20, the tire brand is Bridgestone Potenza S007 series. The DB11 is not only good looking, but also very aerodynamic. Using the aeroBlade blade aerodynamic design, the system includes air intake, diversion, air flow nozzles, etc., and the air flow passes through the air intakes on the side of the C-pillar, enters the interior of the car body, and then flows out through the air ducts in the fenders and tail box. The rear of the car actually has a spoiler, but it is hidden and the purpose is not to spoil the perfect design of the body. From the side, there is a place where it is more obvious to distinguish the V12 and V8 models, that is, the V12 logo on the rear fenders of the front wheels, while the V8 model has no logo.
The DB11 vehicle is built with a new aluminum alloy architecture and adds composite materials such as carbon fiber, maintaining rigidity and achieving lightweight. The rear of the car is a typical GT sports car shape, the two sides are very wide, and the rear surround is very full. The tail lights are more distinctive, like two boomerangs, the light strips are very narrow, and they are LED light sources like the front headlights. At the bottom is a decorative set of carbon fiber, with double exhaust on both sides, and a hexagonal cutout casing. Although the trunk volume is not large, it is no problem to put a check-in case or two backpacks.
Aston Martin's interior has always been a luxury route, with an oversized leather cover and leather grain and hand stitching that are top-notch. The red interior of this DB11 V12 is very eye-catching. The steering wheel has a somewhat flat bottom design on the left and right and bottom, not a regular circle, integrated with the commonly used multi-function buttons, with alloy paddles on the back. The seat's control adjustment buttons are designed on the inside near the central control area, which is quite special and one of Martin's characteristics. The seat configuration is still good, full leather, sports style modeling, the main co-driver is equipped with a variety of electric adjustment functions, seat heating, memory is standard, can be optional ventilation. Although this car has a rear seat, 2 doors and 4 seats design, in fact, the back seat is difficult to sit an adult, more as a storage space to use.
The central control functional area has a more obvious Mercedes-Benz flavor, which is also derived from the Mercedes-Benz HARMON system, and Aston Martin has made some modifications and customizations to it. Above is an 8-inch multimedia screen, and the size is a little smaller in 2021. The function of the car machine is relatively limited, does not support mobile phone interconnection, only multimedia playback, navigation, vehicle information settings, auxiliary driving with 360 ° panoramic image, cruise control, can be equipped with automatic parking. The central control middle area is the air conditioner outlet and the start and shift buttons, and below is the air conditioning and multimedia adjustment touch buttons. The central control platform is equipped with the control module of Mercedes-Benz's classic "mouse" COMAND system, and the operation is the same as mercedes-Benz. This is also very normal, in 2013 Mercedes-Benz invested in Martin, last year Mercedes-Benz announced to increase the shareholding ratio, the in-depth cooperation between the two sides is also inevitable.
The biggest difference between this DB11 V12 and the V8 model is undoubtedly from the engine. The engine of the V8 model is supplied by Mercedes-Benz AMG, while the V12 engine is derived from Martin's own products, adding turbo to the previous 6.0L V12 engine, and the displacement is reduced from 6.0 to 5.2. This 5.2T V12 engine has a maximum horsepower of 608 hp, a peak torque of 700 Nm, and with zf 8AT gearbox, it accelerates from 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds, which is a relatively average performance in the same class of GT models, not to mention that this is still a V12. Of course, most of Martin's models do not rely on acceleration as a selling point, and for those who want to buy it, zero hundred acceleration is slower than a few tenths of a second. Again, Martin's car, mainly looks at temperament.
