Aston Martin creates one-off DB11

Aston Martin has revealed what it's describing as an "oarsome" DB11 tribute to the historic Henley Royal Regatta that was first held back in 1839.

Claimed to be a one-off, the special DB11 is the work of the car maker's Q personalisation department.

Painted in a dark metallic red paint, the Aston coupe also gets a contrasting silver roof and a full carbon-fibre body kit that sees the front splutter, rear diffuser, side strakes, hood blades door mirrors, and even rear exhaust tips, made from the weight--saving composite.

Riding on larger 20-inch wheels, other changes include darkened rear tail lamps.

Inside, there's red leather highlights and stitching to match the exterior body, plus a dark Alcantara headlining.

Sadly, under the bonnet the standard car's 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 remains untouched by Q.

That means its future owner will have to make do with the standard car's 447kW/700Nm and ability to hit 100km/h in 3.9 seconds.

Created to celebrate Aston's commercial involvement in this year's edition of the 104-year old boat race, the British car maker hasn't released pricing for the Q bits, meaning it's not known how much of a premium over the existing car's hefty $428,032 (plus ORCs) the Henley-spec DB11 commands.
