    The core of the DB11 is a new bonded aluminum structure (where the parts are basically glued instead of welded together) that Aston says is lighter, stronger, and more space efficient than the outgoing skeleton.

    Aston Martin says the all-new DB11 is the most important car it's ever made. That's because the successor to the DB9 is the first result of a major investment the company made in the technology it needs to keep up with competitors like Ferrari and McLaren. The classy coupe will go from 0 to 62 mph in 3.9 seconds and up to 200 mph. But can it save the company?

    The DB11's performance numbers don't quite match rival supercars, but Aston’s always built its reputation on elegance and quality as much as, if not more than, sheer performance.

    That elegance extends to the interior, naturally: The “Satin Silver Jewelry Pack,” which makes the paddle shifters, door handles, steering wheel controls, and other bits look extra fancy, is a standard feature.
