DB11 V12

The Aston Martin DB11 V12 features AE31 twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12 producing 600 horsepower (447 kW) at 6,500 rpm with 516 lb-ft torque from 1,500-5,000 rpm in original specification, upgraded to 630 horsepower in DB11 AMR variant through eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel-drive achieving 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds with 200 mph top speed. Aluminum block and head construction with port fuel injection maintains traditional naturally-aspirated V12 character while twin-turbocharger forced induction provides contemporary performance and emissions compliance.

DB11 represents first Aston Martin V12 adopting turbocharging technology after decades of naturally-aspirated heritage, establishing new architecture replacing venerable 6.0L V12 from DB9 and Vanquish predecessors with compact 5.2L twin-turbo configuration enabling improved packaging and weight distribution. The AMR performance variant provides 30 additional horsepower with enhanced transmission calibration and chassis tuning, creating pinnacle grand touring specification combining supercar acceleration with refined daily-driver usability and handcrafted British luxury before eventual V12 discontinuation amid industry electrification transition.
