Aston Martin is celebrating a victory in the prestigious Car Design Award, presented at the Salone dell’ Auto Torino, Italy.
The new DB11 was named Production Car of the Year by a jury of experts from ten international automotive magazines. The jury stated: "The design team has further evolved Aston Martin’s historical design cues and proportions - an elongated bonnet, aluminium roof and muscular rear fenders - a more daring interpretation. Flowing in an unbroken arc from A-pillar to C-pillar, the dramatic new roof strake adds a new flavour of modernity to the DB11. Once again Aston Martin has demonstrated of being capable to blend elegance and power."
The award ceremony took place in Parco Valentino Torino on June 8. Mark Kenworthy, Regional Director of Aston Martin Lagonda of Europe, said: "The Aston Martin DB11 is the bold new figurehead of the illustrious ‘DB’ bloodline and an authentic, dynamic sporting GT in the finest Aston Martin tradition. Winning this prestigious award even before the DB11 arrives at dealerships in October this year, underlines the outstanding achievements of our design and engineering teams."
