Aston Martin DB11 Rental
The Aston Martin DB11 Volante is the open grand tourer that people read by the wings first.
Overview
The Aston Martin DB11 is a British grand tourer with swan-wing doors and an AeroBlade that pulls air through the rear pillars to pin the tail without a fixed wing. Renters book it over a Porsche 911 for the wedding exit or the dinner arrival, since the wings on the hood get read before anything else and the roof folds for the photos.
How It Drives
The twin-turbo V8 sits behind the front axle, so the long hood turns in lighter than its length suggests and the 8-speed automatic lets the push build rather than snap. With the roof folded the DB11 is an arrival car first, and the coast drive is what you do on the way.
Who Rents It
Trim Breakdown
Aston Martin sold the DB11 as 3 cars, the V8 coupe, the V12 coupe that later became the DB11 AMR, and the Volante convertible, which came only with the V8. We run the Volante.
DB11 Volante
The Aston Martin DB11 Volante is the convertible and the car we run, in black over bright orange leather. The 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 makes 503 hp through an 8-speed automatic to the rear wheels, and the 8-layer fabric roof folds in about 14 seconds at up to 31 mph. The seating is 2 plus 2, with 2 small seats behind for a short hop.
DB11 V8
The DB11 V8 is the fixed roof coupe with the same 503 hp twin-turbo V8 and the same 8-speed gearbox. It is lighter than the Volante and carries a bigger trunk, and it drives the sharpest of the 3 because the roof structure stays rigid over a rough road. We do not run the V8 coupe.
DB11 V12 and AMR
The DB11 V12 was the launch car, a 5.2 liter twin-turbo V12 making 600 hp, and the DB11 AMR replaced it with 630 hp, a firmer suspension tune and darker trim outside. Both are coupes only, since there was never a V12 Volante. We do not run the V12 or the AMR.
