2022 Aston Martin Updates Include More Power for DB11, Name Changes

• Aston Martin announced changes to its 2022 lineup, including an extra 25 horsepower for the V-8–powered DB11, which now makes 528 hp.

• The V-12–powered DB11 AMR is now just called the DB11, and the DBS drops the “Superleggera” name to simplify the lineup.

• Aston Martin revealed these changes alongside a new configurator, based on the same platform as the video game Fornite.

Aston Martin has announced several changes to its 2022 lineup, revealing these updates in conjunction with an new configurator for its website. The biggest tweaks are for the DB11 grand tourer, which features an extra 25 horsepower from the the AMG-sourced 4.0-liter V-8 that now produces 528 horsepower. This allows the DB11 to reach a new claimed top speed of 192 mph, a five-mph increase. Aston Martin will also now let you spec the DB11 with optional Sports Plus seats, which provide extra bolstering should you decide to test out the extra horsepower.

You can still get a DB11 with Aston Martin’s twin-turbo 5.2-liter V-12, but it has dropped AMR (Aston Martin Racing( acronym from its name. The DBS flagship, which features a more powerful version of that V-12, also gets a name change, losing the Superleggera suffix to simply become the Aston Martin DBS, like the DB9-based model from 2008.
