The name Aston Martin carries a ton of heritage, prestige, and Hollywood appeal, as Aston cars have featured in a string of classic movies and, despite not always being the quickest or more premium in the segment, they are simply impossible to avoid looking at - especially when the letters "DB" are stuck on the trunk lid. The 2021 Aston Martin DB11 continues that legacy with aplomb and is, in our humble opinion, one of the best to have ever worn those two letters. The DB11 Coupe might not be the fastest car on US roads, but it is one of the best looking and best sounding. The AMR V12 packs a beastly twin-turbo V12 engine that churns out 630 horsepower and makes for a near-perfect grand tourer. Competitors like theMercedes-Benz S-Class Coupemight be more refined but they couldn't hope to turn heads as well as the Aston.
Aston Martin has left the second-generation 2-door DB11 Coupe largely unchanged for the 2021 model year.

The Aston Martin DB9 will go down as one of the most iconic Aston cars of all time, so it was always going to be an uphill battle for the 2021 DB11. Still, this British grand tourer has found its feet over the past five years, and it has also gained the respect of hardcore Aston Martin Fans and a ton of love from enthusiasts in general. The DB11 Coupe is one of the most attractive cars in its class, both inside and out, and despite small shortcomings such as cramped rear seats, a small trunk, and some expensive features, it is nearly impossible not to love this beauty. There is also no official safety rating review of the 2021 Aston Martin DB11, but the automaker makes sure it comes with a fair share of advanced features. The V8 car sounds brilliant and is more than quick enough for most, and the V12 option, despite not adding significant real-world performance, holds big bragging rights. Either way, you go, the DB11 will turn heads and make you feel like a million bucks.
When shopping for Aston Martins, budget constraints don't tend to be an issue, so the fact that the V8 model is over $40,000 less won't keep most buyers from simply going for the AMR. The V8 is an excellent option and offers tons of real-world performance, and even comes with a slight weight advantage, but it's difficult to ignore the allure of a V12 engine and a 200 mph-plus top speed. In the world of supercars, these numbers matter. As a grand tourer, the V12 engine fits the brief perfectly, and at the end of the day, it would be our first choice. Sprinkle in a few tech options, and you're good to go. The price of an Aston Martin DB11 Coupe with all these advantages exceeds $246k MSRP.
