A 0-62 mph time of 3.7 sec is an improvement of 0.2 sec over the outgoing model while a top speed of 208 mph (335 km/h) makes the DB11 AMR the fastest model in Aston Martin’s current series production range.
Tweaks has been made to the chassis by Aston Martin’s dynamics team, led by Chief Engineer Matt Becker. Transmission has been re-calibrated as well and the exhaust note is more vocal when the Sport mode is engaged.
