 ASTON MARTIN DB9
60

The Aston Martin DB9 is a thoroughbred sports car with GT

levels of comfort and refinement. Combining Aston Martin’s
unique character with an uncompromising design philosophy,
the DB9 was borne out of a synthesis of traditional
craftsmanship, high-tech manufacturing, modern components
and use of the finest materials. The DB9 is both a full-blooded
sports car and a hugely capable grand tourer. Whether in
Coupe or Volante form, it offers a supreme combination
of driver involvement, character, luxury and refinement.
Beautifully styled, the DB9 never fails to stir the soul with
its unique sound, power and performance.

This purebred sports car is also a technical triumph, its beauty

signifying aerodynamic efficiency, its power unencumbered
by weight, its devastating straight-line performance paired with
exquisite handling. All great sports cars strive to balance these
qualities, and the DB9 creates an experience that is both unique
and unforgettable. What the driver sees, hears and feels is in
harmony. The reward is total involvement: a level of engagement
that truly stimulates the senses, that re-ignites a passion for
driving. But an Aston Martin is also about luxury, indulgence
and enjoyment – it is a feast for the senses. Sure enough, the
magnificent exterior styling of the DB9 gives way to a sumptuous,
comprehensively equipped cabin, trimmed in the finest materials.
Every element is perfectly conceived, from the 6.0-litre V12
engine to the hand-stitched seats and carefully selected interior
woods. Nothing is out of place.
