Which model succeeded the Aston Martin DB9?

The Aston Martin DB11 succeeded the Aston Martin DB9.

The DB9 was Aston Martin’s main grand tourer from 2004 until 2016, and the DB11 was announced as its successor in 2015. The new model debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016, entered production later that year and introduced a new platform and a fresh design direction under chief creative officer Marek Reichman.

The DB11 retained the DB formula as a front-engined, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer, but it brought major technical changes. Engine choices included Aston Martin’s 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 and a Mercedes-AMG 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. The DB11 was eventually replaced by the DB12 in 2023. Models such as the Vantage, Vanquish and DBS were related Aston Martins, not the direct successor to the DB9.
