DB11 Volante V8! Big Sound, Style and Comfort! - Full Review

Full Review of Aston’s New DB11 V8, in Volante Drop Top guise! The DB11 is the first product of ‘Second Century’ plan.
This car is all NEW: GONE is the ‘VH’ platform, the car is now built upon a new bonded aluminium platform, lighter and stronger: but most importantly now Aston are in a technical Partnership with Mercedes Benz, and now have their hands on the EPIC 4.0 V8 BiTurbo from the AMG GT!!
And this V8 Volante version brings big sound, and drama to the already brilliant DB11 formula! The Coupé V8 is said to be “a refined and comfortable GT with a more sporting bias”: so let’s see if the Drop Top can maintain this dynamism!
Finished in Ultramarine Black and Blue leather, it’s a different exterior design particularly in the rear: so we’ll also explore these changes to the Coupé.
In this review we explore:
- Exterior Design
- Interior Design
- The roof
- Exhaust sound, start up and revs
- Spec
- Comfort Driving
- Performance Driving

What did you guys think of the Blue Blue Blue spec?! Really loved it myself, close to how I'd spec a Volante. Here's the link to the Full Coupé review as promised: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHa1gXVno7OshLM Now, where's that DBS Superleggera for us to review?! 😈

[@AnArtsyChic]

Blue is my favorite color , so I'd like it!

[@Bibz74160]

Remove Before Race Your review of the blue Coupé actually made me buy one for myself (actually in Concours Blue), will receive it next week, so excited!! Keep up the good work, excellent and very informational videos! Cheers

[@silversleeper484]

Hello @Remove Before Race, I have a technical/engineer question. How come Austin Martin never fitted a Targa Top, or Sunroof to their DB's?

[@doodlesac]

I have had my DB11 Volante for coming up to a month now....it is just amazing. Every mile is something special. Wouldn’t change a thing.

[@user-ti6bs2ld3c]

In my opinion, This car is one of the most beautiful cars in history.

[@charliechetwood2358]

The shots you get of all the variants make a very attractive car look even better 😍 Also love the clever editing touches

[@itsthepens]

The editing in your videos, the drone footage, the clever phasing between body types and wheel options, even the graphics when changing from sport mode etc - so far beyond what anyone else is doing, and makes your reviews so well explained and informative, and above all engaging. And all that on top of the excellent spoken content and delivery. I'm raiding the back of the sofa for my DB11 fund as we speak...

[@ghostshadow6628]

I saw my first DB11 on the road recently, and had to learn more. I found your review and I must say it is brilliant. I work for BMW, who by the way has a very nice blue interior of its own, and appreciate a well presented review.

[@c.joseph7103]

I have always love Aston Martin cars and I love the db11.

[@mkprivate7523]

Raz, I am a long term car enthusiast, started watching many channels and eventually got bored with most. Happened to come across your channel a few days ago and couldn't help binge watching. I don't know what it is (besides obviously the "Harry Potter" style editing you effortlessly pull of) but as a car reviewer: you became my number one in a flash. You most certainly know what you are doing and will go far. Well them, that's it for me giving you 100 thumbs up. Cheers

Amazing color, amazing review, It was quite helpful, thank you!!

[@nathancooper130]

Amazing review... great style. I agree with the wheels. They also make the car look more compact and aggressive. Can you share your thoughts on differences between this Aston and the Mercedes GTC roadster? Here in Australia the base Aston v8 Volante is priced 60k more base GTC roadster.

Nice film, sensible, for adults. Nice work.. thank you. WF

[@garydc1057]

Again, as anticipated, a thoroughly engaging review from RBR. Truly a cut above.. Also a cut above is the design ethos that Aston Martin are moving forward with. I'm very much loving this platform and for absolutely the first time ever, for me personally, I'm actually attracted to the Volante - and even having conversations in my head about how good it would be. An absolute first, for me! My default position will, however, undountedly prevail; coupe. And in part that's because I'm a little stuck between DB11 (V8) and the new Vantage. I know it's a marmite thing, but I do love the interior cockpit of the Vantage. Enough waffle from me, thanks again for a fabulous review.

[@mich5528]

Gary Constantine Im curious about your thoughts. I as well look at these 2 models, Vantage seems big fun and beautiful, but this Volante has sooo much style. I drive a McLaren spider an I am looking at something to replace it... not soo much fan of driving without roof soo that is not a must. What is your view on these cars?

I was watching S 63 amg coupe, then this was shown in the list. Almost broke the telephone screen pressing play on this. This goes to show you the difference in my book, between Merc and A.M.

[@ranewridha120]

Spec is absolutely fantastic. Maybe with all the design options laid out in front of me I might pick a few different things here and there, but as is, it looks absolutely fantastic. Great review by the way!

[@steved2008]

Would have preferred a lighter interior to go with the deep blue paint. Great video as always, I only really trust Shmee, Mr JWW, Straight Pipes, Autogefuhl and yourself for quality car content.

[@Real_MisterSir]

Agreed. I think something like a cognac brown interior would go well with the dark midnight blue exterior.

[@robkaukis3075]

loved the review so much I went and bought one. Fabulous car to drive and yes the review was accurate when saying volante (which I bought) does not vary from coupe or have any of the usual issues that chopping the roof off can cause

[@divinceocristao3321]

Question: if you're going 25 mph, you activate the roof (up or down), then hit the gas above 30 on up, does the roof stop or reverse?

[@youneschahbi7873]

It doesn't let you accelerate during that phase

[@paul7328]

What a gorgeous spec, whoever spec'd that knows their shit. I would just potentially alter exterior slightly.

[@navigill8811]

Blue interior looks good in Lincoln Navigator!

[@sakimano]

Can you have it full volume exhaust but GT (softest) suspension setting? That would be ideal. Wonder if you could disable the exhaust valves either via fuse or disconnecting and plugging a vacuum line.

[@desmo750f1]

I enjoyed the review, great car well presented. Two tips: avoid leaving a covert Le under trees and rakish is derived from rake

[@grantbruner820]

Love the blue interior!

[@michaelslattery2515]

Thoughts on the nav screen? It’s the only part I truly dislike about the interior. Looks like a kids etch-a-sketch has been glued on. 😱

[@S3XYdriver]

It’s a shame they never make a V12 Volante

[@felixarbable]

Do they do a v12?

[@1234kingtom]

Bentley Conti GT or DB11? Both have V12 and V8...

If you gave me an Aventador or this, i'd take this. If you gave me a Bentayga W12, i'd take this Nothing below 500,000 worth of car would take priority over this. Maybe the DBS

"makes one of the best exhaust notes on the market right now" - really says more about the market than the exhaust note.. Turbos have killed most good sounding cars, taken the edge off of them, dulled them down. Yes they might perform higher peak numbers and better emissions, but man nothing beats an NA engine in sound. Take the old DBS (based on DB9). No other Aston since then have been able to capture that raw exhilarating note. In my opinion, this new V8 twin turbo sounds like it's out of breath before it even opens up. At least when it comes to its sound. Great review though, and I think you captured the more classical stylish profile of the volante very well, it's completely differen roofline and shoulder line interaction sets it apart from the coupe version.

The noise it makes sounds like the the baffles in the exhaust have gone.The car looks typical of today’s design but is very attractive.I absolutely hate the interior the same shape central console and that really dated screen that is so tied.I love my Bentley GTC interior.I owned a DB4 Volante a DB5 and a DB6 and a DBS and the original Vararge all around the 60s 70s and the 90s It’s a great shame that the name has become a license for other companies to play with.It seems today that as long as it makes a lot of noise people find that appealing.Some sound is great but the loud sound is for the brash.I don’t remember the real original Astons making that much noise.
