The Aston Martin DB11 Costs $250,000 - And It's Amazing

[@baitboy3191]

I think the DB10 was the Aston Martin in the Spectre (the latest bond movie), and its was only produced for the movie.

[@Tyler-nv2bf]

This is correct

[@kanggoo57]

[@MarcoVenustus]

But it didn't have a bumper to bumper warranty.

[@highautomobiety8254]

Doug, please forgive me if this has been covered somewhere in the other 3100 comments (I haven't been able to read through all of them), but with regards to your critique of the interior door handles, this actually makes sense given that the owner of a car like the DB11 likely wears an opulent timepiece of which even the most understated have casings made of steel or other precious metals that is machined to sharp edges. By requiring you to rotate your wrist 180 degrees to open the door, you significantly lessen the chances of scratching the wood or tearing or wearing down the leather on the door panels.

[@amehel0]

And also you say "steel and other precious metals". How the fuck is steel a precious metal?

[@AsifKhan-qd5ty]

amehel0 So rude ! Actually a wrist-watch can be a time piece ! There are many beautiful watches that stand out in time if you are a connoisseur......or is it just a wrist-watch ? 🤔 Also, don't most car interior door handles work the same way ? 🙄 Ps, the comment is still rather anal 😆

Seems weird that they will accent the engine compartment in gold trim but use the same steering wheel stocks I have in my $35,000 Mercedes. Seems cheap.

[@AMAStudios]

Snazzy Labs Maybe they have that as an optional upgrade for 5k

[@laxmitty21]

Snazzy Labs I didn't know you liked Doug

[@FeelsDonkMan]

Aston Martin could spend a couple of million researching and creating their own entertainment unit for the center console, and they could created their own beautiful crystal stalks for the steering wheel or whatever, but that's a big waste of money on parts of the car that will have a lot of wear on them over time. They get touched a lot. Instead they just go to the best in the business and take theirs, they've already spent the money to do it. I know I'm getting a beautiful car with the Aston Martin, they've put their signature on the car, but everything that could break is luckily built by the Germans. Who know a thing or two. Its a Mercedes engine too, a probably a Mercedes gearbox. They went with the best, rather than building an Aston Martin and taking the parts from they took, from a Fiat, or Chrysler.

They didn't skip a number, the DB-10 was just reserved for Bond

[@patrickmahoney6242]

[@errongerstein5618]

There are only 10 of the DB10 made specifically for James Bond

[@SineOccasu]

The pen-is mightier than the sword!

[@kurt1698]

they only producted 10 DB10's. 5 cars were used in the production of the Spectre movie. 1 of those was totalled during production. 1 is at the Aston Martin factory. 3 of them are displays around the world (with no engines in them). the last one was sold for public auction. it sold for around 10 million.

@ 10:14 - The DB11 is actually mid-engined since the whole V12 sits between the axles. It also has a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, so there's no more weight on the nose than on the tail.

Samlawts 1 LOL. You are one of those total losers who knows absolutely NOTHING about cars (and are too stupid to use something called 'google') so you just end up embarrassing yourself :-) A mid-engine layout describes the placement of an automobile engine between the rear and front axles. The DB11's engine is mounted behind the front wheel hubs, making it a mid-engine car (forward biased, but still mid-mounted). Now go buy yourself a pack of gum, and I'll show you how to chew it. Douche! ;-)

This could as well be in line with the way new drivers are "taught" to open their door (from the inside) in Europe, i.e. with the other hand, i.e. with your right hand. This forces the driver to look back before opening the door :) So it may be a bit more well thought that you may think.

Aston Martin didn't skip a number... I bet you know they didn't Doug.

[@anonimushbosh]

IElRedI Bet they will after the next one though!

[@mikejones1876]

IElRedI right the db9 db7 smh

[@WarriorsPhoto]

I like that Doug gets to review these cars before they are released. I also like this quirky humour in these older videos.

[@geoffreycarter3020]

How are you going to keep your finger steady on the volume when you're driving? And how many crashes will caused because the driver had to look to find it instead of feeling for the knob?

[@jennawiggins1158]

None

[@carlosoliveira-rc2xt]

Geoffrey Carter Nothing beats the volume knob.

[@SandyCow]

I think the only music needed in this car is the exhaust note

[@guitar911rock]

you can turn it up on steering wheel as well

[@jesusdontlikethatimgaybuts9493]

What car do you drive that has such a bad ride that you can't even move your finger in a straight line across the dashboard? I can just fine in a minivan at 80 miles an hour.

[@iMurakami]

I'm gonna email you about my new Dawn. That would be fun

[@mreastonmurphy]

yes preez

[@Vicariousan1mates]

Last night someone was loading my neigbors focus and they had to pull out a db11 in my driveway to load it very nice

[@JohnTheGreek13]

2:35 When you are trying to use this on a bumpy road. RIP volume control...

[@karigreyd2808]

Why do they feel making everything eletric is better?

[@josephsummers2427]

Quiet you. I am pressing a button so my electric sun visor flips down.

[@evanisashark1596]

Joseph Summers Omg lol

[@suu2212]

The electric armrest lid would be annoying. Touch Screens for the sound system etc, is not good in a car. try adjusting the volume while you're driving, without taking your eyes off the road.

[@karigreyd2808]

I don't even like eletric seats, they take too long. I think I'm capable of closing the hood myself.

[@samlung2724]

I prefer electric seats lmfao, when I'm bored and waiting for someone or just waiting in the car, they are fun to use.

[@nischintr]

The door release handle is actually the right way. It forces you to use your hand that is away from the door. It is good because, when you use the other hand, your body twists and you are in a position to look behind and check for traffic

[@eeemanag]

Doug, you're doing great reviews thank you!

[@2011blueman]

There are so many cars I'd rather have for the 250,000 price.

[@David-lb6uf]

2:14 Most new Audis have that feature too. It's because of the Bang and Olufsen sound system.

[@MrDarryl90210]

Sounds like an electronic nightmare once the battery is dead...

[@donjohnson3888]

I see a LOT of little electric motors just waiting to break in classic Aston fashion....

[@markm0000]

This car could be so much more without 500lbs of leather and 200lbs of motors and electronics.

[@seanybravo]

Mark M it's a GT car not a track car

[@trim105]

The electronics are mostly provided by Mercedes this time around so there should be a big improvement on the reliability front.

[@stuart2868]

No way, Mercedes has problems too. Maybe better than an aston, but Mercs have their fair share of issues.

[@trim105]

Stu art Fair enough but all cars do I suppose. Apart from the occasional dashboard rattle and squeak, my C63S coupe hasn't had any technical issues so far. But nothing is perfect after all. At the end of the day, they're still great cars.

[@senorkaboom]

I have been an Aston Martin fan since I saw the DB5 in the movie “Goldfinger”. I was 10 and still remember when Q showed it to James Bond. I have been an admirer of the line, off and on, since then.

[@pavlo5.055]

I can see the stereo speaker being annoying when its sticking out.

[@jackschweizer6121]

they dident skip a number the db 10 is the james bond car

[@storyteller1749]

I'm a huge Aston Martin fan. Ive never owned one. But ever since my time in the Navy and an officer that I knew had one. However I don't remember which one he had. (I did alot of partying in those days) This db11 is amazing though. Beautiful and I can only imagine the handling and acceleration. Thanks for another great review. Amazing car!

[@josephhardwicke6344]

am i the only one that thinks that aston martin made more brilliant looking cars that any other car manufacturer.

[@samsanders3262]

Anyone else notice the guy trying to catch up in the left of the back window at 8:00...

[@MrTruth111]

I don't understand those rear seats in those expensive cars, better have some extra storage space.

[@ΤΗΞΙηΣΑζΤΞΚδ]

You can put stuff on a seat, but you can’t sit in a storage space.

[@AhGotcha]

I️ saw one of these on the highway and it’s easily one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen in person.

[@jahwangful]

I'd rather buy a single house in Georgia .

[@stuart2868]

or a couple of city blocks in detroit.

[@phelicitas3342]

Ron Heimler Same thing where I live, a rather rural area in Germany. 250,000€ gets me literally a flat smaller than 100sqm

[@CpainBeatz]

where do you live😂😂

[@razgrizghost1]

are you referencing a song?

[@bruce5868]

Yeah but for that you would have to live in Georgia. No thanks, I'd rather die.

[@BadaBing.UCF30]

But does it has as many cupholders as a Hyundai Elantra?

[@Jackj28]

Always enjoy your videos Doug!

[@zissou6928]

So is this better than the vanquish? im completely lost with aston logic

[@samlawts1193]

9enius no they are different classes of cars.

[@distant03]

9enius I'd say it is, and that means the Vanquish is probably getting a new generation soon, to retake it's spot as Aston's flagship.

[@HugoElders]

They're just two different type of cars atm. The Vanquish is the slightly older, although updated for MY 2016, sportier grand tourer in terms of technology. The DB11 is meant to be slightly less of a sportscar, although it might perform a bit better due to the torque. From a business pov; the DB11 introduces a new era for Aston Martin focussing primarily on new technology whereas the Vanquish is for those who are more interested in the latest generation of Aston Martin V12 Coupes as we've known them for the last 15 years.

[@TodunOlusola]

HugoElders are you referring to the 2017 Vanquish S.

[@thomasharris9019]

Aston announced the Vanquish S not too long ago to keep the Vanquish relevant, look it up it's a beauty

[@Ezero8]

I was wearing headphones. My ears died @ 5:15.

[@EmmanuelTurner245225]

I just saw one of these and the guy that drove it seemed happy. I personally would opt for something else, but it's nice knowing there are options other people will go for other than Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Mercedes-Benz.

[@Atamanxxxvii]

Soft close hood? RAHHHH! Yes it's because the bonnet is a single sheet of aluminium and with its shape any attempt to close it by hand could warp or dent it.

[@carlosoliveira-rc2xt]

TheRealLaker The hood on my 2002 nissan Altima se was from a single sheet of aluminum and so was the trunk. No warping, twisting or denting.

[@Atamanxxxvii]

This is what I could never work out. It definitely isn't the first of its kind, so I don't see what the need was unless its a very thin sheet.

[@xivix6710]

I've seen a Porsche with a dented hood on video because of that

[@scufrecords8356]

carlos oliveira - yes but that’s tiny compared to this

[@scufrecords8356]

The bonet/hood opens the other way, making it difficult for it to latch as it should have one latch point on either side. So instead of making it so that when you close it you have to walk around the car and push on either side, it’s soft close will pull it down for you

[@dylansmith1261]

That's by far the most disgusting interior I've ever seen on any car.

[@DivineFrag]

Dylan Smith You by far sound like the last guy to judge the interior of a 250k luxury car, since you won't get a whiff of one for your entire life.

[@rocknrolla7288]

agreed, looks terrible

[@lejink]

Yea, not a fan of the color choice The stitching is uneven on the headliner too

[@dylansmith1261]

Celixify cool. I'm so interested how you managed to figure alllllllll that out just by reading a KZbin comment. That's incredible.

[@TodunOlusola]

it's mainly for women, men will get a custom interior see Q works for that.

[@moi-ry5bu]

Doug, the type of guy to drive in a convertible with the top down and the windows up . 😉

[@kgbhoneytits105]

I want it so bad

[@ElSascho]

5:14 put your headphones on full volume and buy new ears...xD

[@chaj8129]

i saw one during a lap of the north coast 500 in a jag f-pace s, and yes they really are that good looking irl

[@mrjq9960]

Very nice car but the black plastic steering wheel stocks which are the same from my 2015 mercedes somehow seems a bit awkward

[@emrem.6716]

fucking fuck greatest car ever i want to own one so badly.

[@rubensimms4684]

Emre Muştu I have one 😉

[@FinalCredits]

Ruben Simms sureeeee

[@rubensimms4684]

Ellis Owen I do actually

[@felixwilliams1205]

Emre Muştu then work for it and stop wishing for it ya bum

[@NeverTalkToCops1]

+Veron Of course he owns "shit". Everybody owns their own shit. Blank you.

[@BMH1965]

The door handles open 'the wrong way' to aid the use of the 'Dutch Lean' - where the opposite hand is used to open the door so you can look over the shoulder for bikes when opening the door.

[@iamsorrybut2370]

5:48 lol that hand action though watch it on mute
