Buy or hire the DB11 if...
Aston Martin's V12 grand tourer, built to cover long distances quickly rather than to lap a track. The twin-turbo V12 and sub-4-second 0-62mph time put it against Bentley and Ferrari GT rivals, so it suits hirers after an occasion car for a long drive rather than a city run-around.
