Vehicle Overview
On sale since 2004, the Aston Martin DB9 superseded the long-lived DB7 Vantage. The DB9 is powered by a 6.0-liter V-12 engine that generates 450 horsepower. Either a conventional six-speed manual gearbox or a button-controlled six-speed automatic can be installed. Aston Martin says the manual-shift DB9 can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds.

The DB9 was the first car to be hand-built at a new state-of-the-art facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, England. In addition to the coupe, a Volante convertible is also offered.

For 2007, both the Volante and coupe get new seats that incorporate standard head and thorax airbags, dual-stage heating and twin lumbar adjustment. The seats can be programmed to remember three separate settings.

Recent revisions added more cabin stowage, coat hooks, rear parking sensors, cruise control, heated front seats, power-folding side mirrors, an umbrella, a navigation system and Bluetooth capability.

Exterior
A long aluminum hood sits above a familiar Aston Martin grille, and side strakes are located on the front quarter panels. The body panels are aluminum or lightweight composites, while magnesium is used for the steering column and inner doorframes. Locating the gearbox at the rear helps achieve 50/50 weight distribution, and a full undertray reduces lift and drag. The DB9’s rear haunches are wide and curvaceous, and its profile features a prominent trunk. “Swan wing” doors rise at a 12-degree angle for easier access.

For 2007, the coupe gains a Sports Pack option that includes new five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, a revised undertray and a lower ride height. This works with revised dampers and springs and a reworked front anti-roll bar to provide better handling.

The Volante’s fabric top folds underneath a hard tonneau cover that sits flush with the bodywork. Sensors can detect a potential rollover and deploy twin roll-hoops. Aston Martin says the windshield pillars can withstand twice the car’s body weight.

New for both the Volante and coupe are front parking sensors and LEDs in the door handles as no-cost options.

Interior
The DB9 offers 2+2 seating that features Bridge of Weir leather. Walnut, mahogany or bamboo wood trim is available. The new seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and power, memory mirrors are newly standard for 2007.

The coupe gains more cargo space — now more tha 6.5 cubic feet — because the amplifier, first-aid kit and tire-inflation equipment have been relocated.

To start the engine, the driver must press a clear glass button. The tachometer dial runs counterclockwise and has no redline. Instead, a red warning symbol appears at various engine speeds, depending on ambient temperature and engine mileage. The British firm Linn developed the 950-watt sound system.

Under the Hood
The DB9’s 6.0-liter V-12 produces 450 hp and 420 pounds-feet of torque. The ZF six-speed automatic transmission uses buttons to select Drive, Park, Neutral and Reverse. A Touchtronic manual mode permits gear changes using paddles behind the steering wheel. A conventional Graziano six-speed manual gearbox is also available.

While the coupe gains the Sport Pack, the Volante isn’t forgotten in the performance area. Its top speed is no longer restricted to 165 mph. Aston Martin says the Volante’s maximum speed is 186 mph, the same as the coupe.

Safety
All-disc antilock brakes incorporate electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Seat-mounted side-impact airbags and Dynamic Stability Control are standard. For 2007, new seats feature standard occupant-detection sensors, plus head and thorax side airbags.

Driving Impressions
Handling is where the DB9 truly excels, hanging on with passion through swift curves and delivering a civilized experience. Confidence levels reach well beyond the sports-car norm. The suspension follows road contours closely, yet ride comfort is satisfying.

The dashboard is packed with controls. Most markings are clear, but the gauges aren’t easy to read.

The V-12 generates a rich exhaust sound. Gear changes are quite easy using the dashboard selector buttons and steering-wheel paddles, and automatic mode does a fine job. After a momentary hesitation to downshift, the DB9 lunges ahead with unbridled force. The new Sport Pack option has not been tested.

Rear headroom is scant and legroom is virtually nonexistent, but the front compartment is roomy enough in a snug, separated cockpit.

  • Before having the DB9, I previously had a DB7

    I've started by having previously a DB7 1997 MY 3.3 litre 6 cylinders, which I kept until I suffered a hip replacement surgery seven years ago, and due to the pain going in and going out of the car, I finally decided to sell it. But always having in mind the Aston Martin I've always wanted: the DB9. Which I lately and finely got one, a 2007 produced, in perfect conditions, same colour as the previous DB7 (metallic dark grey) and 55.000 kms on the clock. This car is a joy. And I recommend heavily any one who is getting the idea and the possibility of acquiring one, not to lose the opportunity. By the way, you don't have to be shy: it is a head turner - all the time - and even more, you can find more that some one taking photos with his or her camera while you drive that magnificent car. All the best!!!

  • 2007 Aston Martin DB9

    I've owned sports cars all my life, all Corvettes. Attaining an Aston Martin was a dream come true and I can't rave enough about the overall driving experience. The DB9 personifies what a luxury GT is all about. A true drivers cars, it pampers the hell out of you, and frankly I was looking for the auto pilot so I could fall asleep, the seats are just incredible. Yes, the V-12 is a symphony to listen to, and effortlessly propels you to highway speed and then some. The back seats are useless and honestly that's my only gripe why they put them in there in the first place....I know people complain about the stereo system and frankly it's adequate for my taste. How many people see an Aston Martin on the road and say the stereo is sub-par?? I doubt any....It's a DB9, a beautiful timeless design is what their thinking....Maintenance is not cheap but, compared with Italian and German offerings, it's better. I've owned this car for a year now, with no intention of parting with it....I'm sold on the DB9!!

  • Dream car

    This is my dream car. Hand made beauty. V12 power and torque. This car can be driven daily, unlike the lamborghini we owned. Handling is similar to the BMW M6 or 911 but with more power. I love my convertible DB9!

  • The car of your dreams.

    By far, the most fun I've ever had driving a car. Unbelievable performance, surprisingly comfortable, and I'm 6'3. Just drove the car 1200 miles in a day and a half and had a ball. Got 19.8 MPG on the trip. Not only a performer, but a head turner as well. People on the road just can't keep their eyes off it. Only real problem is lack of front end clearence (about 4 1/2 inches) so scratches on front of the car are impossible to avoid. I have owned Mercedes CLK, BMW M5, and I rate this car far ahead in both styling and pleasure. Cannot fathom how anyone wouldn't love the car

  • Best car you can ever buy!

    Driving this car will become your life motivation. Every thing that has anything to do with this car is top in it's class. It drives like no other. It drives ten times better then my Ferrari I previously owned. My every day car and truck both stay in the garage now.
