Carscoops spy photographers recently caught a high-performance
Aston Martin DB11 near the Nürburgring and new details are starting to emerge
about the model.
The model will be called the
DB11 S and it will be positioned as a competitor to the Bentley Continental GT
Supersports. In order to tackle the 700 hp luxury coupe, Aston Martin will
reportedly equipped the DB11 S with an upgraded twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12
engine.
The standard model produces 608 hp and
speculation suggests the DB11 S will have an additional 30-50 hp.
Should those numbers pan out, the car could accelerate from 0-100
km/h in around 3.8 seconds before hitting a top speed in excess of 321 km/h.
The DB11 S will feature
a more aggressive front fascia with larger air intakes. The model also has a
new front splitter and lightweight alloy wheels that are backed up by a
high-performance braking system. The report goes on to suggest the car will be
equipped with a sportier suspension and a reduced ride height.
If the rumors pan out, the DB11 S will be launched
late next year and cost around £ 20,000 (US$ 25,979) more than the standard V12
model.
