Aston Martin's new DB11 has gone on display in Newcastle for the first time since it was unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show.

The car, which was officially revealed to the world in Switzerland earlier this month, is the company's replacement for the iconic DB9.

It was brought to the North East for the opening of the firm's new dealership at Silverlink. It's the first time the DB11 has been seen in public outside of Geneva.

Paul Thursby, Dealer Principal at Aston Martin Newcastle, said:

The DB11 has been described as Aston Martin's most significant model since the outgoing DB9 made its debut in 2003.

With a new 600bhp twin-turbo V12 engine, it's the most powerful and efficient DB model the company has ever manufactured.

The car, which has a starting price of more than £155,000, will arrive in UK showrooms later this year.
