BUY, LEASE OR FINANCE THE ASTON MARTIN DB11 VOLANTE FROM OSV: bit.ly/37HOLDl
If you've managed to shinny up the greasy pole far enough to be able to afford an Aston Martin DB11, it's doubtful that you'll be overly concerned with the trifling matters of economy and emissions, but they mean a great deal to Aston Martin and here's why. The company needs to reduce the average CO2 output of the models across its range or face punitive EU fines. It's mildly amusing that 'engine downsizing' in 'Aston-speak' means dropping the size of the required powerplant to 'just' 4.0-litres and adding twin turbochargers to it.
Nevertheless, that's made quite a difference in terms of efficiency when you compare to the old DB9 Volante (which chugged out a decidedly old-school 389g/km of CO2 and averaged only 17.2mpg). In comparison, the DB11's emissions in V8 form are rated at 230g/km of CO2, while the combined consumption return is rated at 28.5mpg. To give you a perspective on just how much of an improvement this represents, we'll tell you that the old 6.0-litre V12 still fitted to the V12 Vantage Roadster model manages 19.2mpg on the combined cycle and 343g/km of CO2.
Summary
The DB11 coupe's bonded structure has made it possible for Aston Martin to take quite a large step forward with this Volante version, the brand delivering a structure that's 26kg lighter and 5% stiffer than its predecessor. The result is a truly magnificent car. One that combines greater performance and agility with increased comfort, refinement and interior space for occupants and their luggage.
