Aston Martin DB11 Shooting Brake Rendering Makes Sense

Pixel artist X-Tomi Design has taken to Photoshop to turn the Aston Martin DB11 grand tourer into a shooting brake. For what it’s worth, an Aston Martin with plenty of get-up-and-go wrapped up in this kind of body style should definitely happen.

It doesn’t take a long look to understand that X-Tomi has used the rear end of the Ferrari GTC4Lusso to make this rendering happen. Preceded by the awe-inspiring FF, the GTC4Lusso is a model that takes the shooting brake game to another level. For Aston Martin, the DB11 is a blank page, a new chapter.

Not only does it turned to forced induction to the detriment of the freely aspirated V12 we all know and love, but the Aston Martin DB11 also happens to be good at grand touring. If it were to be offered as a shooting brake, that would help Aston Martin hit its newly set sales target of 7,000 cars per year. A shooting brake would also challenge the status quo of the GTC4Lusso.

“Ah, but what about performance?” That’s a very good question, dear reader. Aston Martin made it clear that it remains faithful to twelve cylinders. But a V12 is not nearly enough to take on the most practical Prancing Horse out there. One that’s good for up to 820 horsepower, however, is. But as fate would have it, Aston Martin is not interested in making a shooting brake.

What Aston Martin is looking forward to comes in the form of an all-out product offensive. Starting with the next-generation V8 and V12 Vantage, the model lineup will grow with the V8-powered DB11, all-new Vanquish, a crossover based on the DBX Concept, a couple of Lagonda sedans, AM-RB 001 hypercar, and a mid-engine supercar for the better-off masses. While this plan may seem ambitious to outsiders like us, more so because it comes from a low-volume manufacturer, Aston Martin Lagonda is poised to pull it off.
