Aston Martin DB11 to be reinvented in wide-reaching update
Grand tourer will receive new suspension, powertrains and infotainment for 2023; Vantage to follow suit
Aston Martin is priming the DB11 grand tourer for an extensive mechanical and technological overhaul, which will help it to compete more effectively with the newer Mercedes-AMG SL and Ferrari Roma.
New images captured by Autocar’s spy photographers show a heavily camouflaged DB11 undergoing road testing - giving itself away as the updated car with a revised front fascia, which looks to be modelled on the Aston Martin DBR22 speedster shown in August last year.
Despite being a clear continuation of the existing DB11 – which arrived seven years ago – the updated car promises to be a thoroughly modern proposition inside and out.
Company chairman Lawrence Stroll previously said the new version will be more like an “all-new” car, bringing upgraded engines, gearboxes, suspension and, most importantly, an overhauled interior.
“How can you have an Aston Martin that sells for £150,000 with three-year-old technology?” Stroll asked early last year, referring to the ageing Mercedes-Benz-derived trackpad system the DB11 has used since launch.

Mark your novelty James Bond calendars: the new Aston Martin DB is coming
Aston teases the successor to the ageing DB11 with a few shady pics
This is the successor to the Aston Martin DB11, as seen through the eyes of somebody about to undergo a cataract operation. These three rather shady teaser images of a car likely badged ‘DB12’ are all we’re getting ahead of a full unveil later this month.
So, until that day, let us spin for the Speculative Wheel of Fortune. For its part, Aston Martin tells us the new car will usher in “a new era of class-leading performance, driving dynamics and ultra-luxury”. It also says the DB12 – if indeed that’s what name it takes – will offer “prodigious performance and pinpoint driving dynamics”.
There’s also talk of better tech, craftsmanship and ‘sublime’ style. A cursory glance at the two exterior images above suggests they haven’t dropped the ball, but cataracts have yet to be removed. Saying that, the interior looks to be filled with glorious buttons.
Whether Aston will remove that V12 from the DB12 line-up remains to be seen. This decade hasn't been accommodating to twelve cylinder powerplants, so should it depart with the DB11, expect that AMG-sourced 4.0-litre biturbo V8 to be substantiallyuprated. Because of that 'prodigious performance', you see.
