About DB9
Launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show on Tuesday, 9th September 2003, the Aston Martin DB9, became the first car to be produced at the company’s modern facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire.
The innovative DB9 began an exciting new era for Aston Martin as it took on a fresh direction with new models.
Using a radical new aluminum bonded frame, the 2+2 DB9 remains one of the most sophisticated and technically advanced sports cars in the world. It successfully balances the attributes of a sports car with features normally found in luxury cars.
About the car
Each of the headlamps is set in a single aperture in the front wing.
There is no separate nose cone. The aluminum bonnet runs all the way to the leading edge of the car. This accentuates the length of the bonnet and the power of the car, all front cut lines emanate from the grille.
There are no computer gimmicks. Aluminum is used for door handles, on the dashboard, in the instrument cluster, and for some trim panels. The most distinctive use of aluminum is probably in the instruments. The dials are made from aluminum, and are of noticeable 'three dimensional' design. They are flood lit, not back lit - making them especially attractive and clear at night.
The engine is developed from the V12 used in the Vanquish. The advanced quad-cam 48-valve engine has been designed by Aston Martin engineers in partnership with Ford's RVT (Research and Vehicle Technology), and is unique to Aston Martin.
