The amazing aerodynamics of the new Aston Martin DB11
Aston Martin’s new DB11 features the largest aluminium clamshell bonnet made from a single sheet of metal, giving it both a beautiful and aerodynamic quality. The car is designed to generate downforce without a spoiler. The air is directed to an opening at the DB11’S C-pillar, where it is then channelled into ducts within the bodywork. That air exits out of a tiny opening on the rear decklid, pressing the rear wheels into the surface like a spoiler would. Any excess air that channels over the roof is harnessed by a deployable spoiler that raises at higher speeds.
