Aston Martin DB11 vs Porsche 911 Turbo S | PH Review | PistonHeads

[@carsismeZ06]

It's a difference between wanting a sporty GT car in the Aston, and a GT-like sports car in the Turbo.

[@Bryan-fg3ey]

Logan Grandey perfectly summond up sir.

[@KevAlberta]

I'm a huge Aston and Porsche fan. Both very nice machines here

[@akilh340]

Porsche 911 for performance. Aston Martin for cruising

[@paulthomson9709]

Akil Hodge I really hope it's just the colour but that Aston looks terrible!

[@chillipompom5263]

Turbo S is damn perfect

[@meschio]

the sound is not so amazing

[@chillipompom5263]

Agreed

[@sneaky_krait7271]

If onlt it wasn't so boring looking...

[@10toes68]

Sneaky_Krait its not

[@WahabGoldsmith]

cant get a better rear than 911s. They have this delicious wide backs that look so sleek and nice looking at outside the car and while driving.

[@higurro]

I thought the DB11 was so ugly it actually made me slightly angry at first, but the more I see of it the more I like it. I'm convinced it needs a darker colour to work though. Very colour-sensitive.

[@TheBelgianBeast1]

Diavolo red with a black roof looks amazing

[@ElliottSith]

They took some risks with the styling and I think it paid off in some areas, but for me the new(ish) v12 vanquish takes the cake in terms of looks.

[@zero00-100]

Aston messed up the porportions

[@SeaJayBelfast]

Man, I get what you mean with the anger. The DB9 (facelifted), Virage and DBS still look stunning, way better than the DB11. That gash along the side is awful. You pretty much need to buy it in black in order to hide the design.

[@secondchance4498]

Wow, great video with great presenting...keep um coming guys, much appreciated.

[@zatharos6427]

This isn't even a fair comparison. The Turbo is an all around supercar that you can use everyday where as the DB11 is a complete GT. Not meant for racing at all

[@Supcharged]

Clayton Cortina you basically admitted he 911 is more capable in all aspects lol

[@zatharos6427]

Supcharged Oh it is. No denying that lmao

[@TodunOlusola]

Clayton Cortina yeh it is kind of fair, they both perform similarly on road other than on track, one is a super car and one is a super GT. The Aston for the road and the Porsche on the track. Although a better comparison would be a Q works full spec DB11 vs a turbo S

[@JMartinni]

~3:00 if you drive cars as a 'fashion statement' and you have the desire to swap cars because it doesn't get you attention you shouldn't be driving a 911 in the first place. Those people are better served with an Aston, certainly.

[@NaikMichel]

Good presenter. Good video. Thanks

[@carlitoxb110]

I don't give a shit about what people say so I'd take the turbo

[@TodunOlusola]

Carlitox b meh I dunno I think I would prefer the more powerful 12 cylinder.

[@carlitoxb110]

911 turbo is way faster than the Db11, I love them both though

[@blainegoodwin6365]

That turbo s would absolutely blow the doors off that Aston.

[@meteor1945]

Blaine Goodwin speed isn't everything Aston looks better better interior better exhaust rarer yeah I think I take the aston

[@blainegoodwin6365]

the guy That's a subjective statement

[@FarmerWithDragTires]

Blaine Goodwin What do you expect from a comparison between a total sports car and a GT car?! 🤔

[@TodunOlusola]

Blaine Goodwin no it's not subjective

[@bighands69]

Not in terms of quality or finishing. One is a GT sports car the other is a GT luxury car. Also a V12 is a special type of engine.

[@venom5809]

The Aston interior is gorgeous.

[@rahulmaharaj7019]

Great video. Keep it up

[@sukhoiromantic1718]

Wow that blue and black looks so much better on video than it did in the pics from the written review

[@macht4turbo]

Nice comparison. I think these GT cars are already too fast for the road. You have the potential do drive fast, but where can you use more than half throttle? 400hp would already be more than enough and it would be more efficient etc.

[@macht4turbo]

I don't care about teslas...I just meant that this performance in a street car is not accessible, this statement actually includes teslas '_'

[@VirusTornado]

That's a really good comparison. Keep em coming

[@mromar2724]

Good commentary. Very relevant through and through.

[@hendelar]

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the redesigned Aston line-up but not nearly as much as seeing a mid-engined Turbo S, GT3, GT2, etc.

[@Stevieboy130664]

Lookswise, my favourite since the old Oscar India Vantage. A genuinely strikingly beautiful car.

[@vonrichthofen5734]

Brain says Porsche, heart says Aston (not in Baby blue though, rather some greyish or black paintjob).

[@markchip1]

How does this comparison work now with the Aston DB11 V8?

[@The_flying_spy]

8:05 "the Porsche is a FRACTION quicker" LOL the Porsche runs laps around the Aston.

[@The_flying_spy]

***** your word in god's ear

[@TodunOlusola]

Adrian Alfano I think he was talking about road speeds rather than track. 0-60: 2.6 as opposed to 3.6 and top speeds are both around 200. so yeh there is really not much in it.

[@meteor1945]

Adrian Alfano the porshe also has a god awful interior

[@The_flying_spy]

the guy not that I was talking about the interior but anyway, the Aston certainly has a better interior however the Porsche is not in any way "god awful"

[@meteor1945]

all the porshe has is spped over the aston thats it aston looks better better exhaust rarer and its an aston simple as that and the 2018 vantage will run circles around the porshe its supposed to be faster than the v12 vantage

[@NoGoodHandlesComingToMind]

I think the red dots were an underlying layer of material with the over-layer being pattern-perforated to allow that effect. I don't think the dots were the surface material.

[@ytytyt2516]

is DB11 All Wheel Drive ???

[@graygamingps4503]

No

[@MarkB4444]

Really well presented

[@etma01]

Fantastic vid!

[@billystutz55]

I love Porsches and I've driven a lot of great Porsches. Driving the turbo is insane, I never thought I would drive a car that I thought was too fast until the turbo. Its too damn fast for me, it's scary fast and I like to drive cars at their limit but holy shit this is car you can not do that in.

[@SteveC-Shaman]

Yes you can. But you really shouldn't, and you need a hell of a road to do it. They work really well on track, however - an the Aston won't. There's no doubt it's faster than the law really allows but that torque...

[@MGA19a]

Maybe a red Turbo S doesn't fit much but a black one ( or white one ) is more "distinctive" ... however ... 2 great cars but i personally would NOT compare them or see them as "competition" ... There are customers for both of them ;-)

[@harambefanaccount6892]

Cevo M I agree. A black turbo s would make you look distinguished as hell. At the end of the day, though, the cars appeal to different crowds. Do you want a handsome, lightning fast, understatedly luxurious car? Or do you want a car that is beautiful inside and out, more comfort oriented, but still fast? You can't go wrong really.

[@ichdu6946]

the turbo s coupe in black with yellow accents looks awesome to me, but the db 11 has more charisma. but i would like to see how the db11 match the amg s63 coupe 4motion. porsche is more to the fun and sporty side, aston is more like a mercedes type car. i dont prefer any of the 3. all 3 have some points to it.

[@SteveC-Shaman]

Love my white Turbo S with bordeaux interior.

[@SicoSniper]

damn, how long were you saving up for that?

[@Battlegris]

Why compare them? They are completely different cars! NO ONE with this purchasing power will spent months thinking "ahhh should I have the Porsche or the Aston??". They are both very well put together cars, but in no way compatible. In fact, I will claim the DB11 has no real competition right now. The closest thing would be something like the Jaguar XK... which is not on the market anymore. Most car reviewers today seem to only think: 0-60 time, horsepower, lap times and dragrace. Shame really.

[@lucas27kiko]

Actually, I'm going through this question right now lmfao

[@patrick8023]

I'm literally wondering which one to get

[@GoFast865]

Awesome video. Subbed

[@Alby911]

Hey, Matt. What is that watch you're wearing? Great review as always.

[@stevielowe2853]

the db11 absolutely no question over the porsche

[@harambefanaccount6892]

I'd go with the db11. It's more than fast enough, looks better inside and out, and has a much better engine note. Then again, I like grand tourers, and I emphasize looks and sound over performance.

[@Supcharged]

Harambe Fanaccount might as well get a s63/s65 amg coupe

[@Magic_Vince]

like the reviewer, like the Porsche, don't like the Aston.. Benz S Coupé is more beautiful, and that should happen to an Aston

[@Malc180s]

The merc is hideous. Aston have done what they needed to do - in one year once people have gotten over the change they'll love the db11

[@thebritishboatguy3130]

Absolutely spot on. I own a DB11 and have been a 911 owner among many other high end cars. At this level pretty much everything is fantastic. The Aston is a GT car through and through. The 911 turbo the GT version of a brilliant track car which brings both aspects into its breadth of ability. The Aston would get pummelled on a track and like wise 500 miles in the 911 makes you feel like you have been through a washing machine. You hit the perspective spot on.

[@hal7364]

Great vid.

[@cutdepiefails6596]

I love the Turbo, but with my fantasy money, I would not trade the luxury of the db11 for the amazing but poorer 991 turbo.

[@krissbrill]

I own both and they have very different personalities. But I find myself driving the DB11 more often than the Porsche. The Porsche is more “fun” while the DB11 is more refined and more powerful.

[@taforth]

I think you were too kind to the DB11. My god did ever seem to experience a lot of body roll in the corners. I don't think the Aston would be able to keep up with the turbo S on your B roads either.

[@meteor1945]

its not ment to wait for the 2018 vantage

[@link11188]

DB11 is still a step up. I’m sure if an Aston Martin owner wanted to be a bit quicker around the corners they can afford and will have gone for 911 Turbo S.

[@davidko6635]

Get a British guy to review a British car. Totally unbiased here

[@weed46]

That Aston interior is no match for the older cars in terms of "Class"... it seems all funky. Where are the smooth lines and "watch-like" dials?

[@resnonverba137]

Agreed, can't say I'm too keen.

[@kempowarrior]

I totally agree with you. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage, DB9 and Vanquish design was simply stunning and classic. The new DB 11 is UGLY.........

[@AFryingPan]

I absolutely love the leather work in it

[@FarmerWithDragTires]

You can spec different versions of the seats and the interior colours. For example with wooden trim, with or without the stitching and so on. The Interior is as good as the older ones have been + better technology but o have to admit that the interior of this particular model looks absolutely hideous.

[@kezboy1]

I have the exact same Gripe; however mine is specifically with the Gauge cluster. The gauges of the past have much more class. I miss the dual analog gauges. but the rest of the interior I think is very nice.

[@TodunOlusola]

Like the Porsche it gets my vote for sport if nothing else. But the Aston is more special and powerful plus it would work nice with custom by Q so I would rather own the db11 hence.

[@flowman3173]

Very well presented and watchable. Porsche please!

[@MISTA_LOVAH]

Where are these roads that the 2 cats were tested on ??? Anyone......

[@HiddenWen]

Both have fantastic engines. The Porsche's engine is better performance wise, while the Aston's is more theatrical.

[@longtailgt]

The DB11 looks hideous from behind. The lights are just wrong, the fastback roofline doesn't really cut it and the spoiler seems like its stolen from a 1st gen Boxster.. No idea what the designer was thinking. The 911 Turbo, in comparison, looks more perfect. Great video btw! Enjoyed watching.

[@Batvolle]

BlackWind ist just The colour

[@filipmadrid2022]

Aston Martin is a gentleman's car.. u hardly see this on the road. Porsche 911 turbo S is a great car but it's common.. u see it too much on the road. Aston for me all day!!!

[@therealbajan522]

The Aston is just more special that the 911 turbo ever was and probably ever could be. The 911 turbo has just never been a special, car, very good and different but not special at all.

[@Alexander-zs5rj]

The British Chassis with German V8 Power from AMG in a nice Suite like it. Thumb up

[@MagicMike87]

Turbo S vs DB11,AMG GTS,Type R is complete bullshit-Porsche is class above in terms of performance and i'm not a teenage fanboy.

[@VirusTornado]

Porsche and AMG GTS for me. German engineering no substitute.

[@souheib9343]

Sir Psycho calls themselves Sir Psycho and claims to not be a teenage fanboy... Hmm either a teenage fangirl or very very late bloomer. (it's a joke don't get too teenage boy-y)

[@miketheman4341]

Some car simply don’t belong in a head to head. Two entirely different missions in these cars.

[@Lupo874]

I'd always choose the aston over the porsche.. especially when you live in Germany.. The aston is just rare.. Every dentist or lawyer buys a porsche.. maybe not a turbo but the look is still the same.. the aston is just extraordinary..

[@growrich119]

I own a 911 but if I would be able to afford a new Turbo easily I would at least consider the DB 11 - It looks so stunning But as I can't afford those cars anyway yet, my opinion doesn't sell cars :P

[@omarlondon]

911 turbo is not in the same league. its on another level

[@alanwayte432]

It’s not exactly a like for like comparison....if I was driving to a South of France it’s the Aston, if I was wanting to get from Oxford to Cornwall for the weekend it’s the 911, I have a Vantage that replaced a 991S the Aston is technology inferior but I feel better for owning and real world driving at 75mph is so much more enjoyable in the Vantage

[@Aurora_v_cali]

I would agree the 911 is like the bmw 3 series way tomany of them everywere

[@edgarramirez9208]

Absorb correct indication origin manufacturer wrong ingredient.

[@josephjewellers]

DB11 looks much better but 911 has better performance...... not a perfect comparison......think better comparison DB11 with Bentley or Royce

[@kahrenzakaryan1222]

Why can’t Aston’s just make there cars faster there beautiful cars but they rarely win a race and there so exspensive even though there are so much cheaper cars that dust this but if I was filthy rich I would get this just cuz of the looks and the high class feeling it gives u

[@michz2256]

can you believe that after all that he didn't mention how much horsepower does the aston have !!!

[@TheDivineicons]

I'm British and I love the Aston, but I would take the Porsche 911 Turbo any day, it's just a better car...

[@markhalton2584]

I love Aston’s but I’m sticking with Porsche until I’m 50+, then buy an Aston as they’re older mans car and 911 is for younger men.

[@brybed0917]

db11 😍

[@Matthijskanaal]

What is a better investment: a Porsche 911 turbo s or a Ferrari 488 GTB?

[@MrBasinator]

The DB11 just doesn't have the same beauty as the "classic" lined DB9.

[@johnnyboy1586]

I would be so hard to pick between the cars

[@gabrielflores1149]

I'll take the TT RS please.

[@DreamList]

I like the DB11 overall but I hate its seats. They look pretty ugly.

[@Zactroller]

i really do not like how the back of the db11 looks

[@TannerHoytFooty]

love that color on the aston. almost fashionable. sexy sexy car

[@schell0118]

So the Aston Martin is a better option for grown-ups? What a shocker!

[@randomthoughts1001]

The Aston is like a fat chick. Maybe fun to ride around as long as your friends don't see you. Porsche Turbo all the way.

[@zid00001]

What a silly thing to say. If you could afford an Aston, you'd GO LOOKING FOR YOUR FRIENDS, if you have any.

[@james64ibm]

You may argue about this, but imho Aston fucked up the DB11 big time. The looks have added an unpleasant amount of awkward (like some newer Audis), in this video at least it sounds like an unspectacular V8 (or even an I4 with added noise) and that speedometer belongs into a Japanese hot hatch or a Mini.

[@adityajethi7250]

how good the 911 might be.......aston will always be a more substantial and desirable car....

[@SenszR]

Not true.

[@guyturner3284]

The turbo s is just mega, man.

[@gregmayled]

The sat nav is fucking disgusting in the Aston. It should definitely stow away or something to keep the nice lines of the central console like the old car.

[@bigdrilla9378]

Think of this as a general car no one gets a car for ONE purpose the Aston us good for most and can get you ladies ask James Bond The Porsche is just fast and looks shizzy

[@TomRauhe]

This comparison makes absolutely zero sense. That's like comparing a BOSS Jeans to a tailored suit.

[@Supcharged]

is the aston even faster than the panamera turbo? lol

[@samlawts1193]

Supcharged probably not, aston are really quick cars but they are not overly bothered about speed. they are big gt cars mainly, not small racers like the porsche

[@Supcharged]

Samlawts 1 big GT cars? Lol The panamera is a fucking full size 4 door luxury sedan!

[@samlawts1193]

Supcharged yes I know but it is not a gt car

[@Supcharged]

Samlawts 1 but a full luxury sedan is even heavier, larger and way more spacious than a GT

[@samlawts1193]

Supcharged and has much more power and rear wheel steering. Therefore of course it will be faster

[@mattaravena2473]

Head vs Heart

[@meteor1945]

bunch of Porsche fanboy is thinking speed is everything

[@carguy4235]

the guy true

[@Supcharged]

the guy Porsche has better reliability, interior build quality and handling as well. The ONLY think Aston has is looks and maybe exhaust note(both subjective)

[@meteor1945]

Supcharged Porsche better interior hah you must be joking the db11 interior is based of Mercedes interior

[@meteor1945]

Supcharged and know it doesn't have better reliability because the db11 engine is a Mercedes engine and Porsche don't have better reliability than Mercedes

[@renzomos3527]

the guy So the interior of the aston is better because it is made by mercedes? The engine is more reliable because it is made by mercedes? I would not be too proud if everything in my aston isn't even made by aston martin itself.

[@ianmiles7916]

Lucky Dan did not write this.

[@SuryaDe]

Still not a fan of the DB11. That color...ugh.

[@HEKTIC458]

Old Aston was better looking

[@stephenfialka5542]

[@davidstratton6374]

H O T ! ! ! ! (and the cars are nice too, lol)

[@onyebill6527]

matt ur annoying,didn't u crash the Renault clio?

[@foucaudguillaume5964]

porsche so vulgary !!! Aston is the best and beautifull !!!

[@tacticalprepper9760]

British guy talking up a British car?

[@DamianSupra]

WHAT DID ASTON DO TO THEIR CARS?? THAT UGLY STEERING, UGLY INTERIOR, UGLY EXTERIOR, V12 MOTOR SOUNDS LIKE A VACUUM CLEANER...god :(

[@DamianSupra]

Yes they have retained the v12 which is great that they amgnaged that. But I dont care how fast and how technologically advanced they are. Cars have lost their soul, not only with the turbos but these emissions regulations

[@アマ-p2l]

they need to put an exhaust on one and let me drive it on the autobahn and make a video, then we can discuss. they made it quiet but it probably has potential.

[@therealbajan522]

Your all caps typing alone is evidence of the advanced level of fuckeries that exist with in your very soul. A v12 sounds like a vacuum cleaner? The only vacuum cleaner sounds here are the Porsche The Aston looks and sounds way better than the very bland Porsche, it always did and always will, The 911 is just Not special or outstanding at all. It looks like a squashed vw beetle and many people outside their fanboys find it very ugly.

[@アマ-p2l]

TheRealBajan I totally agree, but I think the comment was on point, if you hear a turbo V12 in person it will always sound incredible but the usual microphones just don't emphasize the sounds. like I said, if I get my hands on one of these astons with an exhaust on it I'll probably convince any sceptic aston enthusiast including myself.

[@meteor1945]

are you dumb

[@reonbarrett5546]

seems db11 very fat and your not driving fast not like 911s ..seem your talking it up .db11 for show not go nothing like gtr or 911 .just old man car with to much money . don't look fun to me

[@S58PSHIFTING]

Porshe made in china we make best car in word and everybody copy from us we sell technology to the germani and they buy from us we numba won we best in word we have mo people

[@1ledan]

plate says ksi

[@stringer-ik1pc]

that Porsche is a dinosaur. looks ridiculous. pensioners from the 80s drive them.

[@annenelson8650]

👾👍🤠

[@jonathanstaso2680]

Sadly the Aston is just too ugly. The Vanquish is the only one to have at the moment now.

[@paulthomson9709]

Jonathan Staso on the Aston why does the side rear window area look like a BMW i8? with that duct beside it

[@alanthecat59]

flipancey is anoying , not excitting

[@v8monster186]

aston is more like toy than real car .

[@carguy4235]

Not a fan of Porsche because they got boring design lol

[@TodunOlusola]

Snafu no you won't, if you mean the GT4 then maybe.

[@SicoSniper]

the gt3 is superior to the gt4 though

[@NadiaNadia-wc8ny]
