Aston Martin DB11 , here's why I won't buy one

-

Ever been at a fancy French restaurant with a friend and ordered something that you thought it will be the ultimate meal you will ever get in your life ?. The "garçon" comes with your exotic meal and place it right before you , and when you are just about to dive in a world of exquisitness , your friend's order comes in and it looks and smells better than yours because he took more time than you looking for a good choice to have .

That's what Aston Martin DB11 looks , your meal . The British car manufacturer said that the DB11 is one of the cars that sets the company for the next 100 years plan . Along with the Vulcan and the ONE77 , the DB11 was intended to keep the company out of bankruptcy that's been lurking around the brand for years . 

The DB11 , is the replacement of the DB9 . In case you wonder what happened to the DB10 ,
I recommend that you watch the 24th movie of James Bond entitled "Spectre " . The new Aston is wider and lower than its predecessor and it is undoubtedly marvelous . British elegance is about every curve of the DB11 , when I saw this car in a magazine for the first time ,my heart was stranded instantly by its beauty (especially the backend) and I felt like I have just  seen an angel's face .


The new Aston has the first Twin turbocahrged engine ever produced by the comapny , and luckly they somehow managed to keep the rumble just like the one of a naturally aspirated engine unlike other companies . So, the engine is a 5.2 V12 with two turbos working for the greater good of the driver to deliver the best performance , it produces 516 lb-ft to help you reach the 60 mph mark in 3.9 seconds . 

The DB11 is fitted with an 8 speed automatic transmission with manual shiftablility , the gearbox is mounted at the back for a better weight distribution (49% at the back , 51% at the front of the car ) .
The question that needs to be answered , why the DB11 does not have  a launch control ? 
The answer is simple , the new Aston Martin was introduced by the comapny as a GT car to rival the 570 from McLaren and the California T from Ferrari , and not as a performance car .


You will be convinced that this was built for comfort the moment you have a glance on its interior , Leather everywhere . You will feel that you are driving in a baseball glove the moment you step in . This beautiful interior was only meant to be wrapped in leather . Aston says where you see things that look like the material they are, they actually are . For example if you see something that looks like it is made of metal or wood or leather , it actually is .


The second impression that you would have when you look at this interior is ,Deja Vu . That's right but this time your brain is not doing some sort of trickery on you because many things were supplied from Mercedes . The navigation system, the stereo system and the control panel at the bottom are all a part of the 5% ownership deal between Aston Martin and Daimler . 


There are some drawbacks however of this car , the seat controllers are so close to your legs so you might be going in different seating position on a bumpy road , what they were thinking ??!! . Another this thing that has no explanation are the backseats . Yes there are backseats in the DB11 and they are behind these beautiful leather seats . They can come in handy only when you are driving around with your hamster at the back .

The Aston Martin DB11 is "handbuilt and" for ages this word meant that things will start falling apart after driving for a few miles from the factury , but not this one . Still I won't buy one , well first of all it costs 250 K Dollars with option , certainly I don't have that kind of money to put it on a car , the second reason is , I think the partnership between Germans and British will expand more than just 5% and that means , more AMG engines will be fitted in an Aston , and that will look like  your friend's meal .

If you like the DB 11 and think that anyone with 250 k dollars should buy it , leave a comment below .

Apollo Intensa Emozione, A Proper Name For a Chinese Car

Intensa Emozine, that translates to fierce emotion. By the look at Apollo's latest creation you can see why the car was named like that. Although the owner of Apollo is chinese , he was convinced somhow that an Italian name would fit his baby more than a chinese one that has raging or dragon in it .  This prove apollo is in good hands now , we all remember the fastest car on Top Gear's test track , the Gumpert. You might recall its hedious looks as well ,but the Intensa Emozione is surely a great creation to look at . In 2001 , Ronald Gumpert returned to Germany after being in China for 3 years working as the head of marketing operations of Audi and VW . He had a dream of creating a car that is road legal and can be ready to take up corners of Monza at any speed . Automobile designer , Roland Mayer had the same idea and they joined forces to create something that would redefine the terms of speed and aerodynamics. They both provided the first prototype of the Gum

Toyota Century MK3, Back to the V8

The Toyota Century , a name that was exclusively meant for Japan. The reason behind the birth of this model was the 100th birthday of Toyata's founder sakichi Toyoda. The Century was meant for Japanese businessmen only because the luxury of Toyota can only be sensed through Lexus globally The first introduction of the Cnetury MK1 was in 1967 and it was only available with a V8 option under the bonet and the model haven't wittnessed any changes for the next 30 years until  the biggest step made in the Japanese automotive history in 1997 . The century MK2 was monuted with a V12 the first and last to date engine with that configuration. We have never seen Toyota daring to make the V12 again even with this new model which a big disappointement. A downer indeed , the new Century has another V8 , but before we get to that , we need to say a few words about the design. The car is being promoted as ever as a luxurious limousine , quite like the Mercedes S class  , the Audi A8 a
