British luxury sports car maker Aston Martin officially announced the name of their upcoming sports car at Frankfurt, which will be the replacement of Aston Martin DB9. Aston Martin DB9 has been one of the most popular sports cars of the world in recent times, and the British luxury auto maker is closing the production of that famed car. Recently they launched a limited edition special car which was Aston Martin DB9 GT Bond Edition, which was certainly a tribute to DB9 itself, rather than to the association with James Bond.

The Aston Martin DB11 will be unveiled in 2016, and it is expected to be the manufacturer’s flagship model in upcoming times. Announcing the DB11 name, Aston Martin CEO Dr. Andy Palmer has said, “Today I am proud and pleased to confirm that the DB11 nameplate will sit on our next new car. Not only is it a sign of our intention to continue the long line of iconic sports cars that bear the ‘DB’ moniker – the very bloodline of our brand – but it also shows the world our ambitious plan in action. The coming years will see Aston Martin transform not only its entire range of models but also its scale and global presence, and the new DB11 will be central to that success.”

This car will follow the footsteps of the iconic DB5 and DB9. Although Aston Martin is yet to disclose the details of the car, but we have found some pictures doing round over some websites, this new DB11 sports car comes similar to the DB9, with some restyled features like dual light headlamps, completely different looking front bumpers. This new model will come built on an updated version of the VH platform and it may sport a 6.0 liter V12 engine. The car also expected to offer a twin turbo 4.0 liter V8 engine, which is sourced from Mercedes AMG.

James Bond and Aston Martin, a bond goes back more than half a century. As the upcoming Bond movie Spectre is all set to release worldwide in a few days, fans of James Bond are eagerly waiting to see 007 in action again. And we the automotive junkies are eagerly waiting to see the beautiful beasts in action.

In the movie Spectre Daniel Craig aka James Bond has driven a bespoke Aston Martin DB10, as his previous Aston Martin was destroyed by the villain in Skyfall! A pity indeed! The Aston Martin recently launched a video, which features the Spectre stunt driver Mark Higgins, who seating behind the special Aston Martin DB10 gave a tribute to James Bond by writing ‘007’ on track with the screeching tyres of the beautiful car. Recently Aston Martin launched a special edition DB9 GT to celebrate the fifty long years of association with 007, which was eventually started with Aston Martin DB5, which was named as Aston Martin DB9 GT Bond Edition.

This Aston Martin DB10 is not for production, and specially made for James Bond only, as they say; “Built for Bond.” This car is made based on the future DBX platform. In the trailers of the movie doing rounds in social networking sites and YouTube, we have seen 007 racing past the Rome streets in his superb fast Aston Martin DB10. We even saw it has a flame thrower; must be the latest trick from Q branch!

James Bond and Aston Martin – relation between this two began almost half a century ago. While James Bond is a charismatic British character from head to toe, makers of Bond movies always wanted to give these movies an aura of British automotive excellence, and thus came the Aston Martin.

Aston Martin DB5 has become almost as symbolic as any James Bond movies. Both of them presented the world movie buffs some astonishing frames and visuals to cherish forever. Although in recent times we have seen Bond driving the latest models from Aston Martin, but the old charm never gone actually. Probably that is why we saw reappearance of Aston Martin DB5 in the movie Skyfall, when Bond drove M to the Scotland mansion for the action packed climax.

In a few months we are about to watch another Bond flick Spectre, where 007 will drive an all new DB10, the feature packed and lightning fast car is as suave as Bond himself is. In the meantime Aston Martin is celebrating their long standing association with James Bond by bringing a limited edition special car - DB9 GT Bond Edition. (Read it here) The famed grand tourer comes with exclusively unique 007 badging and bespoke Bond themed accessories too. Although, the funny fact is, James Bond never drove Aston Martin DB9 till now.

Kahn Design’s new coach building division has taken one of the most perfect cars in the world and they have been busy redesigning it. Some owners feel that they are messing about but they have full support from Aston Martin. The British manufacturer is giving them chassis to build the new car, known as the WB12 Vengeance.

Kahn Design has replaced the elegant design with a brutal one. The car is hand built and is made from aluminium. "WB" stands for "Wide Body". Design changes include an aggressive Hannibal Lecter grille and round tail lights. From the looks of it, the car lives up to its name.

Under the hood you find the same engine that powers the DB9. It is a 6.0 litre V12 engine called the AM11 engine. It produces 510 hp and 620 Nm of torque. It accelerates from a standstill to a 100 kmph in 4.1 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 295 kmph. The car is mechanically unaltered.

The video shows the car testing at England’s Millbrook Proving Ground while the firm’s CEO, Afzal Kahn looks on. It will be limited to only 20 units. Whatever you might feel about the car, it is nice to see coach building back!!

Ask any common man to name their favorite car used in any Hollywood movie and most of them will select an Aston Martin from a James Bond movie. These timeless classic cars from the prestigious British Auto manufacturer has truly left their mark in the hearts of auto enthusiast as well the common man not only via those Hollywood flicks but also through their appearance and performance and why not, all Aston Martin cars are built with such precession and skills that they form a bridge between classic and modern cars.

Today we are here to review one of those Aston’s which perhaps is the most popular car amongst the lot because it not only carries the genes of a Grand Tourer within it but also is the successor of the legendary DB7 which was the highest produced Aston Martin ever. The DB9 was first showcased at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto show and was designed by perhaps two of the greatest living legends of automotive design history Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker, although they have many other prestigious feathers adorning their hat but the DB9 got to be towards the top of their list. Although this car looks flawless from every angle many critics complained that the engine was not powerful enough and was not doing justice to the car and those persons who are driving it. So in order to stop the critics from complaining Aston Martin has installed a new 6.0 Liter V12 fire breather under the hood which Aston Claims is the most powerful engine ever installed in any of their cars.

Now whether this new engine is doing justice to the DB9 or not is entirely depending on the people but statistics says that this particular engine produces 10 percent more power than its predecessor and all that extra power has resulted in an improvement of both high engine and low engine speeds.

So the 2013 model year Aston Martin now has the perfect blend of power and beauty. But is it enough to make this DB9 initials curved with golden letters in the history of the prestigious Aston Martin book let’s find out.
