Aston Martin’s DB11, the successor of the DB9 and the next step in the British carmaker’s lineup, has been revealed online.
Like the DB9 before it, the DB11 has a V12 engine, but this model drops the naturally aspirated unit for a twin-turbo setup. The new Aston Martin model is expected to be showcased at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, but it has already been shown to selected customers. At least one of them managed to snap a few images of the new model, and one of the pictures appeared online.
The first image of the Aston Martin DB11 was eventually published on Twitter by photographer Luke Gilbertson, who credited Rudy Benjamin for it.
It is unclear whether Benjamin took the picture himself or received it from someone else, but the London-based photographer was the one who published it on the social media site crediting Mr. Benjamin for the image.
This is not the first time a customer manages to leak a photo of a new model before it is officially revealed by the carmaker. Judging by the inferior quality of the picture, the look of the vehicle featured in it, and the rather clumsy way it was taken, we believe this photo to be genuine.
The Dutch at Autogespot also published an image of the new DB11 today, but it appears to be a cropped version of the one posted by Mr. Gilbertson. As always, we kindly remind you to take photographs in landscape mode when using your mobile phone.
We believe using lanscape mode is crucial when it comes to filming videos as well, as the ones that are shot in portrait mode (the way you usually hold your phone with one hand) look awful and are difficult to watch. The difficulty of watching this kind of videos appears because of the black edges that are formed to cover the parts of the screen where the picture is not visible because the video was filmed vertically.
