The Aston Martin DB9 will return largely unchanged for this model year with respect to its appearance, but 2007 begins a new era for the British automaker. Aston Martin has revolutionized its production process, relocating to a new technologically advanced assembly plant in Gaydon, England.
Like many of the products from the exclusive British marques, Aston Martin cars are individually handcrafted. While the new DB9 looks very similar to the the previous DB7, Aston Martin touts the car as "new from the ground up." Both the coupe and the Volante convertible variation are built upon a special new chassis, specifically created for GT performance, which uses an incredibly light bonded aluminum construction. Other panels and parts are built from the same aluminum, or in some cases, lightweight magnesium alloy. The result is a remarkably light weight weight for this well-equipped V12-powered sports car.
The two available models are the DB9 coupe and DB9 Volante convertible. Each is powered by a 6.0-liter, all-aluminum V12 that produces 450 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The DB weighs just over 3,700 pounds, and boasts one of the highest power-to-weight ratios in its very exclusive class. Both DBs can be had with six-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. The automatic transmission version gets steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The most direct competitor for the DB9 is probably the Bentley Continental GT. The Mercedes SL is far more affordable.
What owners say
"Owners of the 2007 Aston Martin DB9 generally rave about its stunning beauty, incredible performance, and enjoyable driving experience. Many drivers appreciated the powerful engine and the exhilarating feeling of driving this luxury sports car. However, some noted its high fuel consumption and the price point as drawbacks. Overall, the DB9 seems to be a dream car for those who can afford it, offering a blend of style and performance, though it may not be the best choice for everyone due to its fuel economy and cost."
Simply an amazing car and a dream come true to drive an Aston. The sound of that engine and the feeling you get when you're driving an Aston will be with me forever. It's a six litre monster and I agree with Clarkson that you could drive it to the south of France, realise you've forgotten your swimming shorts, drive all the way home to get them and be more than happy to do so!
September 21, 2008Incredible to drive and is bite the back of your hand beautiful!
June 20, 2008As a child I always was fascinated by Aston martin, the design is so timeless it reminds me of another great Icon of British Engineering, the Spitfire. It's comfortable comes with a built in GSM connection in the radio, and GPS navigation. The best part of owning a Db9 is that it turns heads everywhere you go. :

October 3, 2008Awesome Motor. Excellent accelaration, superb handling. Looks beautiful, SOunds superb. Absolutely loved driving it and can't wait to drive another one. Guzzles petrol due to the 6 litre, V8, 48 Valve, 535Bhp engine that can top 189 mph, but if you can afford one of these, you can definately afford to run it.
September 1, 2008I like this car a lot, mostly because it looks nice. Although it doesn't have the performance of higher class autos, it's still one of my favorites.
May 4, 2008Good motor, good sound, confortable, good tech,amazing beauty
February 15, 2008The Car rides like a dream,but its not the best for a V12 Engine...Could be a lot better if it had a lot more horses.
March 8, 2008The care is simply "Stunning" Just by looking you can feel the rush of blood, your heart starts pumping faster and you cant get over this car
