Aston Martin DB11 AMR
Why 5.1: DougScore 67 and the better V12 tune, but still fundamentally a grand tourer bought for occasion more than road abuse.
Layout
Natural habitat
Ride comfort
Sound
AMR fitted a freer exhaust and let the 5.2 V12 speak, giving it depth and a hard edge the standard DB11 never had. But two turbochargers remove the top-end shriek the naturally aspirated V12 Vantage delivers. Very good, and clearly capped.

Market value
Median asking price, good condition · €225k (2019) → €101k (2026), trending down · illustrative data
Child seats · ISOFIX
Both rear outboard seats get ISOFIX anchors; owners note a seat may only go in with the front passenger seat slid fully forward.
Front passenger ISOFIX plus a key-operated Passenger Airbag Deactivation switch on the dash — AMR is a power/trim package, not a different interior.

The long version
AMR turned the DB11 from elegant fast object into something closer to the Aston people wanted: more power, sharper calibration and less float. It still lives as a GT, not a back-road scalpel. That split is the whole story. Buyers like the V12 and the image, depreciation has made used examples tempting, and the car now sits in the awkward middle where it is too special to be ordinary and not special enough to be immune from Aston value curves.
