Even with an impressive 0-60 mph sprint of 4.5 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 180 mph, there are a lot of cars quicker and faster than the Aston Martin DB9. But outright speed is only part of the DB9's mission. It's also a grand touring machine with the ability to soak up mile after mile in comfort. The powerful V12 does its part, as does the steering's progressive feel and feedback, and the 3-stage Active Damping System tightens the suspension for hard corners, or relaxes it for cruising. The interior is beautifully crafted, with leather on every surface, and it's surprisingly quiet for such a sporty car. Left in Drive, the DB9's 6-speed automatic transmission is snappy, but it reacts slowly in manual mode. Note that if you want to go top-down in the Volante, you'll contend with pronounced wind buffeting.
BANG & OLUFSEN BeoSound AUDIOIf you're seeking an otherworldly sound experience beyond the riveting soundtrack of the 12-cylinder engine, the DB9's Bang & Olufsen setup is amazing. Tuned to perfection, this upgrade system rivals the DB9’s excellent exhaust note.OH, THOSE LOOKSTry NOT to look at this car. See if you can somehow avoid glancing back over your shoulder as you walk past. Just try, if you can, to avoid drinking in the curves, the classic proportions blended with modern aerodynamics. No, never mind, go ahead and give your eyeballs a treat.
The new Aston Martin DB9 Carbon Edition's interior gets an array of carbon-fiber pieces, in addition to the standard luxuries like glass switches and quilted leather. The dash, doors and center console all have carbon-fiber panels, and we especially like the Carbon Black panel on the kick plate. Aston Martin calls the key an Emotional Control Unit, and it slides into a slot on the dash between the transmission selector buttons. The center console, however, looks a bit dated, and the hand brake is oddly placed to the left of the driver.
It's hard to overstate how striking the DB9 is in person. The low profile, long hood and toned muscles of its big rear fenders strike a portrait of elegance and strength. You can choose between Carbon Black for a monochromatic look, and Carbon White for high-contrast black accents. You can also get the Carbon Edition accents with a color of your choosing. The accents blend in with the rest of the car's styling details, like the sweeping headlights, and avoid looking tacked on. Volante convertible models substitute a power-operated fabric top for the coupe's low-slung metal roof.
Not opting up to the Carbon Edition in the 2015 Aston Martin DB9 still gets you a V12 engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, exceptional carbon-ceramic brakes and 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with Pirelli P Zero tires. Inside are full-grain leather, heated front seats, satellite navigation system and 700-watt sound system with 6-disc changer, integrated iPod controller and USB/auxiliary inputs. Front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera will help you maneuver your supercar in tight spots. The Volante convertible adds a power-operated soft top with a glass rear window.
Carbon Edition models add the various carbon-fiber accents inside and out., but there are plenty of other options for the 2015 Aston Martin DB9 as well. There's the aforementioned Bang & Olufsen audio system, a rear-seat delete option – which turns the 2+2 DB9 into a pure 2-seater, satellite radio and various wheel choices. You can also add color contrast stitching, and on Carbon Edition models, the front splitter, rear diffuser, and mirror cap can be carbon fiber.
Carbon Edition or not, the 2015 Aston Martin DB9 gets an aluminum 6.0-liter V12 gasoline engine that sends 510 horsepower to the rear wheels. The engine is front mid-mounted (in front of the passengers but behind the front wheels) for an advantageous weight distribution and its contribution to superior handling. The sole transmission choice is a 6-speed automatic with manual-shift mode. Premium fuel is required, and the DB9 also has a gas guzzler tax of $ 1,700.6.0-liter V12510 @ 6,500 rpm457 @ 4,000 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 13/19 mpg
The 2015 Aston Martin DB9 has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of around $ 187,000 for the coupe and about $ 200,000 for a Volante convertible. If you're opting for the Carbon Edition package, you'll pay $ 203,000 for a coupe and $ 215,000 for the convertible. Options can add tens of thousands to each model. Put another way, you could buy Honda's entire lineup, with the exception of the Ridgeline pickup, for the same amount as a Carbon Edition coupe. More realistically, the DB9 costs more than a Porsche 911 Turbo S, Jaguar XKR-S, Maserati GranTurismo or Bentley Continental GT, and is in line with starting prices of the Mercedes-Benz SLS and Ferrari California. Ordinarily, our Fair Purchase Price would tell you the best price to pay for a 2015 DB9, but we don’t expect many Aston Martin buyers or dealers to be haggling over the bottom line.

For those needing something a bit better car than the DB9, Aston Martin created the Carbon Edition which is led by two distinctive specifications: Carbon Black and Carbon White.
The Aston Martin range is becoming a bit clearer for 2013.
What do you do when you have fair amounts of car racing talent, ample passion for automobiles and your enthusiasm, if converted into electricity, could power a small town? You start your own car production and sales business, of course. That is exactly how the Aston Martin brand was started, proudly born into a garage, much like grunge music. Lionel Matin and Robert Bamford garnered levels of success similar to Kurt Cobain's Nirvana. However, Martin and Bamford's version of Nirvana was engineered form scrap through a partnership that would ultimately lead to a kick in the luxury auto-market's groin.
Aston Martin was founded in 1913, soon after Martin emerged victorious out of the famed Aston Hill race. The duo produced their first car 2 years later by fitting a four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine to a 1908 Isotta-Fraschinni chassis. However, their plans of starting production were abruptly shattered by the First World War outbreak when both of the car-makers joined the army.
Still, Aston Martin would prevail as soon as the War was over, with the company being refunded to resume its activity. However, not much time went by before Bamford left Aston Martin in 1920. Luckily enough, a wealthy investor saw the true potential of the brand and poured heavy funds into its rejuvenation. Count Louis Zborowski investment turned almost overnight into a delicious technological improvement reward topped with racing track winnings whipped cream.
In 1922, Aston Martin produced vehicles to compete in the French Grand Prix. Besides gaining fame by appearing at some of the most popular races of that time, the cars also collected acclaim by setting new speed and endurance records at Brooklands. The three types of chassis that were used at the time became known as the winning trio with chassis number 1915 at the top and supporting numbers 1914 and 1916 at the sides.
However, the tidal wave of fame that has propelled Aston Martin to new heights broke against the solid wall of a 1924 bankruptcy. Still, it survived, having been purchased by Lady Charnwood who gave her son John Benson an important administrative role. It would ultimately prove that her son could not face the challenges of such a position and the company failed again only one year later. By 1926, the doors had slammed shut, with Lionel Martin stepping into the shoes of his former business partner, Robert Bamford.
Soon after Martin's leaving, the company would be revived for a second time by a ring of rich investors including Bill Renwick and Augustus Bertelli who were responsible for the design and performance of some of the models that would later enter production. By 1937, Bertelli had already developed a variety of vehicles, some of the most famous being the 'Le Mans', the Mk II' and the 'Ulster'.
Although Aston Martin was doing well, it was soon afflicted by a third set of financial problems that were deftly fixed by L. Prideaux Brune, who continued to finance the company for a short time. After changing ownership for a fourth time, the luxury car-maker became still, once the Second World War broke out.
in 1947, the lethargy that had snugly wrapped around the company's activity received a coupe de grace from 'charioteer' David Brown, who had also acquired Lagonda the same year. Aston Martin Motors, who had gained the name during its 1926 resurrection, had entered a new stage of production. The first model of the DB series would soon appear, with a successor being announced in 1950, the DB3 seven years later and so on until the early 70's with the DBS V8.
Although Aston Martin enjoyed success and appreciation, it switched to financial-trouble mode once more, changing two ownerships over the next two decades until Ford took over in the early 90's. During this time, Aston had grown in size and notoriety with a much wider palette of offerings ranging from the Volante to the Vantage and the DB7. Although Ford would not slacken the reigns on Aston Martin's leadership, the board committee was forced to take the same decision as Aston's previous owners: sell the company. Last year (2007) Aston Martin entered a new era when it was purchased by a Prodrive chairman David Richards-led consortium for the amount of $ 848 million. Ever since, Aston has registered an overall sales increase and has expanded by opening more dealers in Europe and even moving to China, a performance that hasn't been achieved in almost a century worth of car-brand history.
2015 Aston Martin DB9 Consumer Reviews

2005 Aston Martin DB9
"2005 Aston Martin DB9"
I bought my DB9 used for $ 60,000 with 21,000 miles. I have owned for 5 years and 42,000 miles later. Absolutely love the car still. Never stranded me and very reliable mechanically. Probably the best V12 normally aspirated engine ever made. Six speed ZF very solid but not a double clutch. Only major repair was new set of plugs and coils which requires pulling intake manifold. Was simple but very labor intensive. Other than that just routine maintenance items. Aston parts are expensive but well made and readily available. Styling inside and out is just fabulous. All leather interior so avoid parking in the sun. True sports car so not great for long trips or lots of luggage.
