Matt Becker is, oh, the Matt Bellamy of suspension kinematics. If Muse"s frontman has become the stadium-rocking guitar hero du jour, Becker can wring the equivalent magic out of springs, dampers and a bunch of wishbones.If it sounds like an odd analogy, remember that Aston Martin is as much about showbiz as it is fast cars these days. With that 52-year Bond connection, hasn"t it always?Turns out, it"s pretty good at both. TG.com has just become one of the first outside Aston to drive the new DB11, and although we were limited to a session around Bridgestone"s test track an hour south of Rome, our initial findings are very promising. Peel away the stripey zebra camouflage and this is close to the finished article.Pictures: Max Earey
