There's a strong case for the new DB9 being the most important car in Aston Martin's long, turbulent history. Insiders regard it as symbolizing the change from a cottage industry to a serious manufacturer fit to compete with the likes of Ferrari and Porsche. The seal sleek coupe which replaces the DB7-marks the start of a new era, because its aluminum spaceframe platform is the basis for a three-model range.
The exterior is best described as smooth, flowing with ever-so-slightly retro lines and "swan wing" doors that move both out and up twelve degrees. Under the DB9's shapely bodywork is a new lightweight aluminum-bonded frame, which Aston claims is the most structurally efficient in the world. Known as the VH platform, it will form the backbone of all Aston Martin models in the near future.
Inside the cabin, Aston Martin equips its DB9 with wide expanses of sumptuous leather and unique wood trim. The handcrafted interior still has a few Volvo and Jaguar pieces, but they are well disguised. The milled-aluminum instrument panel and distinctive wood finishing are particularly breathtaking. Aston designed the sumptuous leather interior to age and wear in, taking on the unique touch of the car's owner, much like fine leather shoes and gloves. While more plebeian cars make do with rough-and-tumble leather, the DB9's hides will take on a distinctive patina as the car gracefully ages.
Even with 450 hp on tap, the engine is still quite tractable while driving through city gridlock. The DB9's ride quality is a blend of firm control with supple response. High-speed cruising is this car's forte. American speed limits won't allow the DB9 to truly show its abilities even though this car is perfectly happy to whoosh along at speeds well over 100 mph. With an estimated 0-60 time of 4.7 seconds, and a top speed of about 186 mph, this is a vehicle to be reckoned with. It's the car that could be classified as between a Bentley Continental GT and a Ferrari F430.
