Part of Aston Martin’s Art of Living lifestyle events is driving tours organized in some of the world’s most exotic places. This year for the first time they headed to the southern hemisphere in search of some snow for one of their famous “On Ice” events, and they found in in New Zealand. Here the new boy, Aston Martin DB11, got to experience its first snow drive as a production car.
