New DB11 drives Aston Martin to a record Q1 profit

For the first time in a decade, Aston Martin has posted a first-quarter profit, with the new DB11 driving sales.

The British sports car maker reported that it had made a pre-tax profit of £5.9 million between January and March, propped up by a high number of sales of its new DB11 model that was launched in late 2016.
