Aston Martin DB11: A supercar with unearthly allure, supernatural speed

The $230,345 beastly beauty has won critical and popular worship as a masterpiece

For me, a deep appeal of the luxury automobile lies in the way it speaks to you through your senses, and also what it communicates to the rest of the world. So lately, after having driven an impressive collection of incredible V12 engine cars, which surge with power and cutting-edge technology underneath your feet, I began to think about all the energy that went into designing everything else that makes them great. The perfectly-crafted mirrors. The thunking doors. The headlights that can either flirt, or threaten.

That the Aston Martin DB11 is beautiful is no news. Since
