2022 Aston Martin DB11 For Sale With Low Miles
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. A rare mix of grand touring comfort and real performance Aston Martin's DB11 was always quietly doing its own thing. It wasn't trying to be the flashiest coupe in its class, or the fastest, or the most tech-heavy. It just looked good, drove well, and handled long stretches of road with the kind of ease that makes you want to keep going.

Watch More This 2022 example is a low-mileage coupe finished in an eye-catching Emerald paint with just enough spec details to keep things interesting without pushing too hard. If you've had your eye on the DB11, this one's a solid example of why they've aged well, even with the DB12 now on the scene.

Style that doesn't try too hard The first thing you'll notice is the DB11's shape—sleek, low, and unmistakably Aston. The Emerald paint gives it a deep green shimmer that shifts slightly depending on the light, and the black roof adds contrast without being loud. The Shadow Chrome wheels have a subtle satin bronze finish that doesn't demand attention, but holds it when you look closely. Carbon fiber mirror caps and a set of black brake calipers round out the exterior tweaks. Nothing feels added for the sake of it. Source: 2022 Aston Martin DB11 Source: Exotic Car Trader Inside, the DB11 sticks with Aston's classic layout: straightforward, driver-focused, and intentionally minimal in a world of oversized screens and touch-sensitive everything. The Oxford Tan leather seats are supportive without being overly stiff, and the Sport Plus perforation gives the cabin a bit of texture. There's a standard 8-inch screen for infotainment, but the real highlight is the layout, especially the push-button gear selector spread across the dash. You get the usual convenience features like dual-zone climate control, a decent stereo, and enough trunk space for a weekend trip. It's a coupe that happens to be usable.

V8 personality with GT comfort The DB11 comes with the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 sourced from Mercedes-AMG, a setup that saved around 250 pounds over the V12 and gave the car a more balanced feel overall. The engine's factory-rated at 528 horsepower, but the real win is how it delivers: smooth when you want it, aggressive when you need it. It's paired with an 8-speed ZF automatic that's mounted at the rear for near 50/50 weight distribution, and the whole thing feels like it was built for long sweeping curves more than track days. The suspension setup is double wishbone up front with coil springs and anti-roll bars, plus Aston's adaptive dampers that adjust depending on which drive mode you're in. GT, Sport, and Sport+ all offer distinct personalities, though even in its sharpest setting, the DB11 still feels composed rather than punishing. It's a car that leans into the 'grand' part of grand touring. Source: 2022 Aston Martin DB11 Source: Exotic Car Trader Final thoughts This 2022 DB11 isn't trying to be a museum piece or a track-day toy—it's just a really good GT car, and it doesn't overcomplicate the formula. The styling holds up, the V8 keeps things interesting, and the comfort is very much still there. With low miles and a spec that feels timeless rather than trendy, this is a car that's just as enjoyable to look at as it is to drive. About the Author Michelle Nati View Profile

Inside Vauxhall's 199mph ‘Gran Turismo' Corsa with ‘rocket boost' & yoke steering that's inspiration for next supermini
VAUXHALL has created this wild 199mph racer with s-t-r-e-t-c-h-y aero for Gran Turismo 7. But if you squint a little – and then again, a little bit harder – you're also looking at the next Corsa supermini. 6 We're talking about the white bits, minus the cereal box wheel arches, and the slim visor-like light signature at the front. We like it. The next all-new Corsa should be with us in 2027. It'll come in both power types, petrol hybrid and pure electric, much like today. So you have the choice. But only the EV will come as a sporty GSE. All the yellow and black bits on this life-sized concept, the proper racy stuff, have been dialled up for the computer game. The rear spoiler and diffuser extend 25cm to increase downforce on long straights. Slow for a corner and the rear spoiler flips up to act as an air brake. The yoke-like steering wheel has a red 'rocket' boost button. You get four goes. Four illuminated squares on the top of the steering wheel. Once discharged, you have to wait for the regen to power them back up. That won't take long because this thing is a mighty 800hp, with two e-motors, one on each axle, for all-wheel drive. You'll back off before the car does. All the data you need is projected on to the windscreen in front of you. The dash and door panels light up to warn of another racer in your blindspot – or flash up a pit crew message like 'BOX, BOX'. Lots of triangle elements inside and outside of the car are a nod to Manta rally cars of old. Nice touch. Design chief Mark Adams told me: 'We did a lot of research and the biggest gamers in Europe are UK and Germany, which is perfect for Vauxhall and Opel. 'So this Vision Gran Turismo car is a way of connecting to a younger audience and bringing them into the brand. 'Corsa is our best-selling car by a long way, so making something fit around the character of Corsa was key. 'You can see the bits that are more design language and then the super hi-tech racing parts. HARD-EDGE PERFORMANCE "But we've kept it to a Corsa footprint.' Vauxhall has already previewed Mokka GSE packing a 280hp e-motor and a limited-slip differential. That's almost double the power of a regular Mokka Electric. Adams said: 'We are well positioned with our core models and now we are adding the spice and emotion with GSE. 'Our current GSE cars are nice but they are not hard-edge performance. We want to switch that.' Here's an idea. How about putting two e-motors in the Gran Turismo Corsa and let us take it to a real racetrack. We dare you. 6 6 6 LAMBO'S new V12 hypercar is called Fenomeno. Italian for phenomenal. Can't argue with that. It's the fastest, most powerful Lambo ever created, banging out an incredible 1,080hp, and it looks the mutt's nuts. An 'unexpectedly elegant spaceship' according to the designer. Minus the laser beams.
