The Aston Martin DB9 is a thoroughbred sports car with GTlevels o comort and refnement. Combining Aston Martin’sunique character with an uncompromising design philosophy,the DB9 was borne out o a synthesis o traditionalcratsmanship, high-tech manuacturing, modern componentand use o the fnest materials. The DB9 is both a ull-bloodedsports car and a hugely capable grand tourer. Whether inCoupe or Volante orm, it oers a supreme combinationo driver involvement, character, luxury and refnement.Beautiully styled, the DB9 never ails to stir the soul withits unique sound, power and perormance.

This purebred sports car is also a technical triumph, its beautsigniying aerodynamic efciency, its power unencumberedby weight, its devastating straight-line perormance paired withexquisite handling. All great sports cars strive to balance thesequalities, and the DB9 creates an experience that is both uniqand unorgettable. What the driver sees, hears and eels is inharmony. The reward is total involvement: a level o engagemethat truly stimulates the senses, that re-ignites a passion ordriving. But an Aston Martin is also about luxury, indulgenceand enjoyment – it is a east or the senses. Sure enough, themagnifcent exterior styling o the DB9 gives way to a sumptuocomprehensively equipped cabin, trimmed in the fnest materEvery element is perectly conceived, rom the 6.0-litre V12engine to the hand-stitched seats and careully selected interiwoods. Nothing is out o place.

ASTON MARTIN DB9



A great sports car needs a great engine – it isthe heart o any high-perormance machine. Inthe DB9’s case, that great engine is a powerulyet refned all-aluminium 6.0-litre V12. It p roduces350 kW (470 bhp) and 600 Nm (443 lb t) o torque. That gives a power to weight ratio o 199 kW/tonne (267 bhp/tonne) – one o thehighest fgures in its class.

Perormance is enormous, yet usable. Top speedis up to 306 km/h (190 mph) and accelerationsees 0-62 mph in 4.8 seconds or both theautomatic and the six-speed manual.

Despite these immensely impressive fguresand the instant nature o the throttle response,the DB9 can also relax. Eighty per cent o the V12 engine’s torque, or pulling p ower,is available rom as little as 1500 rpm, whileenormous mid-range perormance providesinstant overtaking power almost regardless o engine speed, or even which gear the car is in.

Aston Martins have always sounded like true

thoroughbreds and the DB9 is no exception:the 6.0-litre V12 has been described as oneo the fnest-sounding engines in production. The exhaust is tuned not only to be efcientbut also to provide the appropriate musicalaccompaniment. Under hard acceleration,the V12 has an exhilarating roar; when cruising,the growl becomes muted and melodic, hintingat the power within without being brash andobtrusive. The DB9 oers a choice o two rearmid-mounted transmissions, both allowing thedriver superb interaction with the car.

The six-speed ‘Touchtronic 2’ ully automattransmission uses shit-by-wire technologyand replaces the conventional gear lever wdashboard-mounted buttons to select ParkReverse, Neutral and Drive modes. The resulsophisticated yet intuitive: quick and easy to uand providing instant response to driver inp

I preerred, or where driving conditions allomagnesium alloy paddles sited behind thesteering wheel enable instant, F1-style gearchanges, providing the choice o rapid andinvolving fngertip gear changing.

Unlike many other sports GTs, the DB9 alsooers a six-speed manual transmission, eatua conventional gear change and high-capactwin-plate clutch.

The optional Sports Pack (Coupe only)accentuates the DB9’s dynamic character anhigh-speed driving qualities. Aston Martin’sdynamics engineers set out to provide theultimate in high-speed handling while retaining

everyday driving comort and refnement.

Developed to meet the specifc demands o the most discerning driving enthusiast, theDB9 Sports Pack was tested extensively atthe renowned Nürburgring circuit in Germa The Sports Pack eatures several notablerevisions to provide an even more ocuseddriving experience, including new anti-roll baruprated springs and recalibrated dampers, working in harmony with the lightweight, orgealuminium alloy wheels to oer exceptionalhigh-perormance driving capability.

DESIGN No sports car manuacturer has a greaterdesign heritage than Aston Martin. Responsibleor some o the most beautiul sports cars evermade, Aston Martin imbues every model withunderstated elegance and graceul styling,achieved through harmonious proportions,taut suracing, a ground-hugging stance andthorough attention to detail.

An Aston Martin is subtle, not attention-seeking. The Coupe’s side profle is clean and distinctive,with a single-sweep rooine that ows throughto a distinctive tail. Key Aston Martin designelements include the distinctive grille, metal sidestrakes, signature rear window shape and wide,curvaceous haunches.

Good design, however, is not just about orm;it is also about unction.

An Aston Martin is by defnition very ast, so itneeds to be aerodynamically efcient. It mustbe superbly stable at high speed – even theexhaust silencer is aerodynamically shaped to

help achieve this. The result is that the DB9 drivesarrow-straight at high speed yet, like all great Aston Martins, it does so with supremeelegance and grace. The DB9 was designedrom the outset as both a coupe and aconvertible, an uncompromising approach thatepitomises the engineering philosophy behindthe car. The DB9 Volante is thereore one o the most structurally rigid and best-handlingconvertibles in the world. It is also one o theastest and quietest.

As with all Aston Martins, beauty and balanccritical. The DB9 Volante is perectly proportrom every angle, roo up or down. The convetop retracts at the single push o a button aswitly stows beneath a hard tonneau covercloses ush with the rear bodywork, leavinglines o the car owing and unbroken.

The Volante’s elegant olding abric roo is lighdurable. A layer o Thinsulate® material insuthe cabin rom both noise and the elements the roo is up, and optimises headroom or driver and ront passenger. There is also noo practicality – the olding abric roo is comwhen stowed, allowing the DB9 Volante to its rear seats and ample boot space.

Saety is a major consideration in a convertSpecial tilt sensors detect the possibility o roll-over and deploy two strengthened hooprom the rear seat headrests. Further protecis oered by the windscreen A-pillars, whichave been rig tested to withstand more thatwice the total weight o the car.



ONTROL Great sports cars must handle superbly. Theyshould respond quickly and predictably to drivercommands; they should be nimble and agile. To achieve the low weight that is the startingpoint or such agility, all the DB9’s major bodyand mechanical components are made romeither aluminium, magnesium alloy or advanced,lightweight, composite materials.

The ront-to-rear weight distribution o theDB9 is a perect 50:50, with 85 per cent o thecar’s mass sited between the ront and rearaxles. The aluminium V12 engine is mountedas ar back as possible in a ‘ront mid-engined’layout. The compact aluminium transaxlehousing the gearbox and fnal drive ispositioned at the rear, orward o the rear axle.

Electronic Brakeorce Distribution (EBD)and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) are alsoemployed. EBD balances the ront-to-rearbraking bias, to give optimal braking perormaIn an emergency, EBA sensors detect whenmaximum braking is required and automaticaapply the appropriate orce. The DB9 oers class-leading saety with arigid aluminium structure designed to provia supremely robust passenger cell. Occupaare urther protected by extruded aluminiumcrumple zones at the ront and rear o the cCrash and saety testing or the DB9 wasconducted at the world-renowned VolvoSaety Centre in Sweden.

Dual-stage driver and passenger airbags,seat-mounted side airbags and seat-beltpretensioners oer additional protection.In the Volante, roll-over hoops are automaticaand instantly deployed rom the headrests ithe event o an accident. The DB9 is equippwith an integrated Passive Anti Thet System

(PATS), which uses a rolling code electronicignition key to prevent unauthorised enginestart-up. It also includes the very latest in vehalarm systems, eaturing parametric sensorsand double locking or doors.

A lightweight and rigid carbon-fbre propellershat, housed within a cast aluminium torquetube, transers torque rom the ront mid-mountedengine to the rear mid-mounted transmission,helping to give the DB9 its superb poise, balanceand stability. The result is a car that can be drivenwith great ease and precision, thanks to theow o communication through the steering.

The DB9 excels not because it has myriadelectronic controls added in an attempt toovercome compromise, but because it hasan inherently light and rigid structure, perectweight distribution and fnely tuned suspension.

More than any other quality, the DB9 seeks toserve up the richest driving experience in thesports GT class. It serenades the driver with itsbalance o engine and exhaust notes, providesscintillating perormance and agility and has aseductive blend o uent steering and linearcontrols. This combination o perormance andluxury makes the DB9 both an exceptionalout-and-out sports car and an ultra-refned GT.

The DB9 cabin is ocused on the driver,who sits as low and as close as possible to thecar’s centre o gravity. Combined with the rigidbody structure and all-aluminium, double-wishbone suspension, the result is unflteredeedback o the car’s dynamic behaviour. This unparalleled two-way communication –car to driver, driver to car – is at the very coreo the DB9’s design philosophy.

The steering, power-assisted or lightness, issuperbly responsive, helped by the car’s lowweight and excellent balance. The large discbrakes – 355 mm diameter discs at the rontand 330 mm at the rear – are ventilated andgrooved, to aid cooling and boost brakingperormance. Radially mounted, our-piston,monobloc calipers provide great stopping powerwith a frm yet progressive pedal eel.

The DB9’s active saety – the ability tohelp avoid an accident occurring in the frstplace – begins with its inherent agility andresponsiveness. The lightweight, rigid body

structure and superbly tuned suspension andsteering are urther aided by a host o advancedelectronics. These include Dynamic StabilityControl (DSC) and the latest-generation ABSbrakes which, should the system detect losso grip, combine to help keep the car stableand balanced.



The DB9 is technologically sophisticated andmeticulously engineered. Its developmentprogramme included rigorous testing in locationsas diverse as Nardo in Italy, Death Valley in theUSA and inside the Arctic Circle in Sweden.In total, more than one million testing miles havebeen covered. Design and engineering innovationsinclude the Organic Electroluminescent displays(OEL) in the instrument pack and centre console,which provide greater clarity and resolution, aswell as LED (light-emitting diode) rear lampsdesigned to project urther and react morequickly than conventional systems.

The propeller shat is particularly innovative: it ismanuactured rom carbon-fbre or lightness andimproved transmission refnement. The ‘swan-wing’ doors are another elegant and ingeniousdesign eature, opening out and up to improveaccess and prevent the doors rom being scuedon high kerbs. The DB9 also pioneered the useo ‘ultrasonic’ welding, which is 90 per centstronger than conventional spot welding andresults in a better fnish, yet uses only fve per

cent o the energy.

Aston Martin has developed its own incrediblylight and strong aerospace-specifcation bondedaluminium structure. This unique VH (VerticalHorizontal) structure gives the DB9 one o themost structurally efcient body rames in the carindustry. Its huge rigidity aids handling, drivereedback and saety. More than any other singlecomponent, the advanced aluminium structureis the reason or the DB9’s extraordinarynimbleness, responsiveness and character.

ENGINEERING However, it is not just the body structure thais light and rigid. Other components have bdeveloped with weight reduction in mind, rthe aluminium V12 engine and transmissionthe orged aluminium suspension and aluminbodied dampers. Even the windscreen surrois cast aluminium, while the door rames aninner panels, steering column and gear chapaddles are all made rom magnesium.

The result is that the DB9 is up to 1300 lb(590 kg) leaner than some other GT cars. Thathe equivalent o six adult males, plus luggag This light weight, allied to class-leading rigidicontributes to improved acceleration, agilitysteering response, braking and uel economas well as a signifcantly heightened drivingexperience. Lightness and balance make thwhole driving experience more pleasurable rom the det movement needed to open anclose the graceul, ‘swan-wing’ doors, to thtouch and eel o every control on the dashbo The DB9, more than almost any other sporcar, is in harmony with its driver, and in harmo

with the road.



The DB9 is elegant, luxurious and supremelycomortable. Its cabin is hand-trimmed inbeautiul, natural materials – primarily wood andleather – and incorporates the latest in moderntechnology without resorting to sup eruouscontrols or displays. There is a minimum o distraction – even the satellite navigation screenolds discreetly away when not in use. Everyelement o the interior is hand-made andhand-fnished, rom the cutting o the leather tothe careully crated wood. This is done not outo deerence to tradition, but because a skilledcratsman c an fnish wood or leather to a arhigher standard than any machine. The le atheris particularly sot and supple, as you wouldexpect o Aston Martin, and is used throughoutthe cabin.

The wood trims are inspired by hand-fnishedmodern urniture and there is a choice o fve:Walnut, Mahogany, Bamboo, Tamo Ash andPiano Black. In every case, ‘single-piece’ cutsare used, rather than tiny strips or thin appliqués.Crating such large pieces o wood is only

possible when done by hand.

The use o aluminium on the dashboard,instrument panel, centre console and doorhandles reects the aluminium structure thatunderpins the entire car. The fnish is stylishand contemporary, yet the material itsel issteeped in automotive tradition.

The DB9 has exceptional equipment levels, asone would expect in a high-perormance sportscar with GT levels o comort and refnement. The driver’s frst interaction with the powerul V12 engine is a blend o tradition a nd high-technology, with a touch o theatre. The ignitionis controlled by a stainless steel and glass ECU(Emotion Control Unit), designed to be as tactileand refned as a fne timepiece. The ECU isinserted into a special docking station setwithin the traditional clear glass starter button.Pressing the ECU ush with the surace o thestarter button fres the engine. Ater pressingonce again to stop the engine, the ECU risesout o its slot within the button so that it canbe removed.

The centre console has clear, crisp graphics,

with a traditional analogue clock at the centreanked by rotary controls or the heating andair-conditioning system. These solid, turnedaluminium controls also operate the audiosystem, integrated Bluetooth telephone andultra-quick Hard Disk Drive (HDD) satellitenavigation unctions.

Audio is provided by the 700 W Premium ASystem with Dolby® Pro Logic II®. Designedexclusively or Aston Martin, this system eatuhigh-quality, fbre-optic electronics, which paudio signals with marvellous precision andnear-perect clarity. The console also includeslot or the six-CD auto changer, while benethe centre armrest there is connectivity or iand MP3 players.

Full Bluetooth integration is standard on theDB9, enabling you to synchronise your mobiltelephone directory through the car’s displascreens. It can also display the last 10 callsreceived, made and missed.

Aston Martins are hand-built cars, made toorder, and this bespoke approach enables tprovision o any combination o paint and leathtrim colours. There is, however, an extensivepalette o standard body colours and interiorfnishes, careully chosen by Aston Martin’sdesign team to complement the orms,materials and suraces o the car.

Twenty-three standard paint colours areavailable, categorised as either ‘contempora‘ast track’ or ‘special’, and varying rom submetallics to the brightest hues. In addition, shades o the fnest, sotest leather, ninecolours o carpet and fve choices o wood trcomplete the standard range. For the DB9 Volante, there are eight hood colours availarom Black to Sandstorm.

Standard eatures include satellite navigatio(where available), rear parking sensors,Bluetooth telephone connectivity, cruise copowerold mirrors, tyre-pressure monitoringand heated ront seats. Additiona l options aavailable, including diamond-turned alloywheels, personalised sill plaques and a brigfnish grille.

The DB9 was the frst Aston Martin to beproduced at the company’s actory at Gaydin Warwickshire. Hand-built by techniciansand cratsmen at a series o work stations,it benefts rom the superior levels o fnishand exclusive design details that would beimpossible in a mass-produced car. The

paintwork o each DB9 undergoes 50 manhours o painting, polishing and fnishing toachieve the perect surace.

CRAFTSMANSHIP



Both cars have enjoyed huge success. Agaiall the odds, the DBR9 took class honours oits debut at the 12 Hours o Sebring and theconfrmed its ability by winning the amous Tourist Trophy outright at Silverstone. Victoin the Le Mans 24 Hours, though, was alwathe main objective – a eat achieved in 2007when the DBR9 shared by David Brabham,Rickard Rydell and Darren Turner overcameall its rivals to urther Aston Martin’s enviabracing pedigree.

Customers are invited to share in this heritagea visit to the HQ and actory at Gaydon inWarwickshire orms an important part o the unique Aston Martin buying experience

ERITAGE Aston Martin is one o the world’s mostdistinguished sports car manuacturers.It has produced exclusive, hand-cratedsports car s or over 90 years. In that time,ewer than 45,000 Aston Martins have beenbuilt and more than 80 per cent are still in use,cherished, driven and raced by enthusiasticowners around the world.

The ounders o the company, Lionel Martinand Robert Bamord, had a clear vision: tocreate sports cars with a distinctive character;cars built to a high standard that wereexhilarating to drive and own; cars with power,beauty and soul. Those values remain integralto our approach.

In 1964, Aston Martin made its big-screendebut when a specially customised DB5 starredalongside Sean Connery in Goldfnger, the thi rdJames Bond flm. More than 40 years on, thespecial relationship with 007 is still going strong– the legendary British secret agent drives an Aston Martin in both Casino Royale andQuantum o Solace.

Racing remains frmly intertwined with thecompany’s DNA. Aston Martin made anevocative return to international sports carracing in 2005 with a pair o Works-preparedDBR9s. Also in 2005 Aston Martin Racingintroduced the DBRS9, a car very closely basedon the production model, or the GT3 class.

In 1947, Aston Martin was acquired byindustrialist David (later Sir David) Brown, andsoon produced the frst o the amous ‘DB’series o cars. These iconic models were amongthe most beautiul and desirable o all sportscars o the 1950s and 1960s and helped defne Aston Martin’s image and ethos, as well assecuring its long-term uture.

David Brown’s period o ownership also saw Aston Martin win at Le Mans in 1959, withthe DBR1, and secure victory in that year’sWorld Sportscar Championship.
