ASTON MARTIN DB9 COUPE

The DB9 is a thoroughbred sports car with grand touring levels of comfort and refinement. Its design philosophy is uncompromising and brings together everything that makes a sports car great with that unique Aston Martin character, borne out of craftsmanship and use of the finest quality materials.

The DB9 is new from the ground up. Every feature has been tailored to make the world's finest sports GT. The starting point was to define the ideal dimensions, proportions and materials for the chassis. A stunning DB9 design feature is the 'swan wing' doors, which open out and up and which ease access to the sumptuous cabin.

A great sports car needs a great engine - it is the heart of any high performance machine. In the DB9's case, that great engine is a powerful yet refined all aluminium 6.0-litre V12. It produces 350 kW (470 bhp) and 600 Nm (443 lb ft) of torque.

Performance is enormous, yet usable. Top speed is 306 km/h (190 mph) and acceleration sees 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.8 seconds. These figures are impressive and the DB9 will respond with real passion. The DB9 offers a choice of two transmissions, both allowing the driver terrific interaction with the car. The six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' fully automatic transmission uses shift-by-wire technology, and replaces the conventional gear lever with dashboard-mounted buttons to select Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive modes. The DB9 also offers a six-speed manual gearbox, featuring a conventional gear change and new high-capacity, twin-plate clutch.

The DB9 is a luxurious sports car. It is supremely comfortable, with a cabin hand-trimmed in beautiful, natural materials - primarily wood and leather. There is the latest in modern technology, yet there are no superfluous controls or displays. Aston Martins are hand-built cars, made to order. This exclusive, bespoke tailoring philosophy means any combination of paint and leather trim colour is possible. That is the essence of hand craftsmanship; it is what makes Aston Martin's new Gaydon facility the Saville Row of sports car production.
