A lot of the world will be going Full Electric, but Aston Martin gives us hope

I don't care if Astons steering isn't the most precise and best feeling system, nor if their weight isn't down to what a Cayman GT4 weighs, nor if the interior cabin tech isn't up to par with Tesla. Aston is doing something right in the most basic of ways. They are ensuring pure aural joy to the driver. In a time when Ferrari is going Turbo, and government mandates are setting society up for one engine choice in the future, the electric battery, Aston Martin is holding out and giving a big middle finger to environmentalists everywhere. They obviously want the driver to enjoy the experience of driving. Going 0-60 in 1.8 seconds in a Tesla isn't all there is to driving.

The new DB11 is going to be glorious, and I could care less if it can beat super cars on the track or street because it will give me what I want, the complete driving experience.

nice find Dave. I haven't played the EVO Youtube clip yet, as i'm at work, but definitely subscribed to the DB11. how long do you reckon it will be until they release a DB11 R or S or hotter/less GT version....?

I don't think it's not as pretty as the current Vanquish though...
