92 years ago something very special happened to the motorcar industry, Aston Martin was born and the automotive trade has only ever benefited from the presence of this marque. Without doubt one of the world’s most prestigious and sought after marques, Aston is firmly established as one of the premier Supercar manufacturers in the world, let alone Britain. The company benchmark has always been to produce “a quality car of good performance and appearance: a car for the discerning owner driver with fast touring in mind, designed, developed, engineered and built as an individual”. It is a stamp of quality they have proudly met at every turn. Their racing heritage is one that most manufacturers covet with notable successes at Le Mans and the World Sports Car Championships. From 1947 the DB era saw Aston's popularity and production soar, especially after the DB5 starred alongside Sean Connery in Goldfinger. A record 700 new cars were produced and delivered in 1995 and the company has gone from strength to strength. Aston will always be the epitome of British cool and manufacturing prowess.
The DB9 is easily one if the most stunning cars of the 21st century. The DB7 may have been ‘the most popular Aston ever’ but the DB9 eclipses it in every area from performance to beauty.
The DB9 is born from the DB7, Aston’s most successful car ever, and as such can only be a better car for it. The 7000 DB7s produced looks to be a mere drop in the ocean when compared to the popularity of the majestic DB9. Lighter than the 7 the DB9’s V12 powers from 0-60 in an impressively quick 4.7 seconds, hitting a top speed of 186mph. But it’s not all about the power and speed. DB9’s paddle gears make shifting a pleasure, while the 19” alloys cling to the road with ease. Aston’s CEO, Dr. Ulrich Bez, claimed that there was “room for Aston Martin to drive a wedge between cars like the 360 Modena and Continental GT models”…the DB9 is that wedge.
There is something quintessentially cool about the DB9. Long, low lines and a muscular frame give it the perfect sportscar image. An image, we’re sure, James Bond would be proud to be seen in. 007 drives Astons for more than their performance… because they look (inside and out) very, very, cool. Each DB9 has its own unique design features; from stitching to seatbelt colour the car is hand built to the drivers personal specifications. The exterior simply oozes luxury and refinement; sleek lines, chrome edging and the iconic front grill make the DB9 a perfect example of understated elegance and breathtaking power. The interior feels suitably opulent while the car’s heritage and class are beautifully apparent. One need only sit in the cockpit for a second or two to be transported to a world of unparalleled brilliance, a world that you will want to revisit as often as is possible.
