Form follows function beautifully in Aston Martin DB11

Aston Martin has achieved its objective of making the most beautiful car in the world with the DB11, says Hannah Elliot.

I talk a lot about how cars look and sound. 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.
