The Aston Martin DB9 is
a high-performance ultra-luxury sports coupe and Volante convertible. Often praised
for its sensuous styling and precise handling, the DB9 is also known for having
one of the most distinctive exhaust notes in any sports car. Exterior styling
and suspension revisions are new for Aston Martin 2011. The Aston Martin DB9 is
powered by a 6.0 liter with V-12 engine that has 470 horsepower and 443
pounds-feet of torque. There are two transmission options: a standard 6 speed
manual gearbox and an available Touchtronic 2 with 6 speed automatic transmission.
Standard features include 19-inch alloy wheels, automated climate control, heated
leather power seats with memory, 6 disc sound system with navigation and radio satellite,
bluetooth wireless connectivity, and parking sensors.
A wide variety of wheel
designs, paint colors, wood trims and interior trim colors can be specified. A
thirteen speaker, 1000-watt Bang & Olufsen Beo Sound music system is
available in there. The optional sport package includes 19-inch forged alloy
wheels, revised shocks, up-rated springs, re-tuned front stabilizer bar, revised
under tray and lowered ride height. Styling changes freshen the Aston Martin DB9's
appearance, with a new front bumper, bright finish radiator grille and a
re-shaped lower intake featuring bright hexagonal mesh, new headlight bezels,
re-styled sills, 20-spoke gemstone turned alloy wheels and clear rear light lenses.
A new adaptive suspension system provides improved ride comfort together with
sharper handling when switched to sport mode.
