The Aston Martin DB11 has already picked up its first award, mere months after its unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show, and even before it has hit dealerships.
The DB11 was named Production Car of the Year at the Salone dell’ Auto Torino held in Turin, Italy by a jury of experts from ten international automotive magazines.
The jury stated: “Once again Aston Martin has demonstrated of being capable to blend elegance and power.”
Heralding a new design era for Aston Martin, what it calls the ‘Second Century’ plan, the DB11 is the latest landmark from the automaker that created icons like the, DB5 and, most recently, the DB10 developed specifically for the James Bond film ‘Spectre’.
“We are delighted that the new DB11 has been awarded this prestigious award so soon after its launch, this is testament to the brand values and design philosophy of Aston Martin,’ said Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin Lagonda.
“Every millimetre of DB11 has been re-imagined from the ground up, and every part of DB11 is designed to create the world’s most alluring DB to date.”
Maybe Aston Martin can finally offer competition to the likes of Ferrari, who have picked up several design awards already.
