THE ASTON MARTIN DB9A STRIKING BALANCEDB9 is a thoroughbred sports car with GT levels of comfort

and refinement. Its design philosophy is uncompromising

and brings together everything that makes a sports car

great with that unique Aston Martin character, borne out

of craftsmanship and use of the finest quality materials.

SO WHAT IS IT THAT MAKESA GREAT SPORTS CAR?

Most cars are a series ofcompromises. The result isusually rational – evenimpressive – on paper butoften bland and soulless inreality. Sports cars should beall about character and driverinvolvement. They need to look great, sound great andhave power and performanceto stir the soul.

But what is beauty withoutaerodynamic efficiency? Power encumbered by weight?Straight-line performancewithout agility? Great sportscars balance these apparentopposites, creating anexperience that is both uniqueand unforgettable. What thedriver sees, hears and feels is in harmony. The reward istotal involvement: a level ofengagement that trulystimulates the senses, that re-ignites the passion for driving.

DB9 meets all of thesechallenges. Undeniably beautiful yet efficient. Power in proportion to weight. Harmony of sound and performance and dynamic ability inherentthrough good design.

But an Aston Martin is alsoluxurious. On those occasionswhen top speed and maximumacceleration are not reallynecessary, indulge yourself.

Be uplifted by the magnificentstyling; revel in a sumptuous,fully equipped cabin trimmed in the finest quality materials;enjoy the superb Linn audiosystem; select Drive and let DB9’s 6.0-litre V12 andshift-by-wire fully automatictransmission do the rest.

STYLING UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE

Sports cars are meant to bebeautiful, and no maker ofsporting cars has a betterreputation for understatedelegance and graceful styling than Aston Martin.Their beauty comes fromharmonious proportions, a ground-hugging stance,taut surfacing, and thoroughattention to detail.

They are subtle, not attention-seeking. DB9 appears as if milled from a solid piece of aluminium.

Its side profile is typicallyAston Martin: very clean, with a single sweep roofline.The uncluttered lines flowthrough to a distinctive tail,and the haunches on the rear wings are wide and curvaceous.

Key Aston Martin designcharacteristics include thedistinctive grille, metal sidestrakes and signature rearwindow shape.

Aston Martins are not edgy.They don’t have sharpsurfaces or pronouncedpower domes. The bodyworkis gently curved, like anathlete with great muscletone. Great design, however,is not just about form; it isalso about function.

An Aston Martin is bydefinition very fast, so itneeds to be aerodynamically efficient. It must be superblystable at high speed – eventhe exhaust silencer isaerodynamically shaped to help achieve this.

The result is that DB9 drivesarrow-straight at high speedyet, like all great Aston Martins,it does so with supremeelegance and grace.

IT TAKES ONE PUSH OF A BUTTON AND A MERE 17 SECONDS TO RAISE OR LOWER THE ROOF OF THE VOLANTE. HOOD UP OR DOWN, THE LINES OF DB9 REMAINBREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL

DB9 was conceived anddesigned, from the outset, asboth a coupe and a convertible(Volante). This uncompromisingapproach is typical of thewhole DB9 engineeringphilosophy. That is why DB9Volante is one of the moststructurally rigid and besthandling convertibles in theworld. It is also one of thefastest and quietest.

It looks elegant and perfectlyproportioned from every angle – with roof up or down. As with all Aston Martins, beautyand proportion are of keyimportance.

DB9’s folding fabric roof islight, attractive and durable,and is also compact whenstowed. There is no loss ofpracticality – DB9 Volanteretains the rear seats, and still offers ample boot space.

The roof retracts fully, at thesingle push of a button, andswiftly stows beneath a hardtonneau cover that closes flush with the rear bodywork.

Safety is of course a majorconsideration. Special tiltsensors detect the danger of a possible roll-over and deploytwo strengthened hoops fromthe rear seat headrests.Further safety protection is offered by the windscreen A-pillars, which can withstandmore than twice the totalweight of the car.

100% ASTON MARTINENGINEERED TO BE THE WORLD’S FINEST SPORTS GT

DB9 is new from the groundup. Every feature has beentailored to make the world’sfinest sports GT.

The starting point was todefine the ideal dimensions,proportions and materials forthe chassis. Aston Martin didnot use an adapted platformfrom an existing family orluxury saloon – the mostcommon starting point for GTcars. This approach can leadto compromise in styling andweight and loss of character.

Aston Martin developed itsown incredibly light and strongaerospace-specificationbonded aluminium structure.This ‘VH’ (Vertical Horizontal)structure, which is unique toAston Martin, has given DB9one of the most structurallyefficient body frames in thecar industry. Its enormousrigidity aids handling, driverfeedback and safety. Morethan any other singlecomponent, the advancedaluminium structure is thereason for DB9’s extraordinarynimbleness, responsivenessand overall character.

However, it is not just thebody structure that is lightand rigid. Other componentshave been developed withlight weight in mind.

All major body andmechanical components areeither aluminium, magnesiumalloy, or advanced lightweightcomposite materials.

These include the aluminiumV12 engine and transmission,forged aluminium suspension,and aluminium-bodieddampers. Even thewindscreen surround is cast aluminium, while thedoor frames and inner panels, steering column and gearchange paddles are magnesium.

The result is that DB9 is up to 1325 lb (600 kg) leanerthan some other GTs. That’sthe equivalent of six men,plus luggage.

This light weight, allied toclass-leading rigidity,contributes to improvedacceleration, agility, steeringresponse, braking and fueleconomy. In short the result is a significantly heighteneddriving experience.

In every case with DB9, the ideal solution – not theeasy solution – has beensought. That is why DB9 is a charismatic sports car.Superb to drive; lovely tobehold: 100% Aston Martin.

Great sports cars must handlesuperbly. They should respondquickly and predictably todriver commands; they should be nimble and agile.

The front-to-rear weightdistribution of DB9 is a perfect50:50 with 85 per cent of thecar’s mass sited between thefront and rear axles.

The aluminium V12 engine is mounted as far back aspossible in a ‘front mid-engined’ layout. The compactaluminium transaxle housingthe gearbox and final drive ispositioned at the rear, forwardof the rear axle.

A lightweight and rigid carbonfibre propeller shaft, housed ina cast aluminium torque tube,transfers torque from the front-mid engine to the rear-midtransmission. This gives DB9its superb balance.

The result is a car that can be driven with great delicacy, a car that communicates richly through its steering, that is stable and predictable.DB9 excels not because it has myriad electroniccontrols added in an attempt to overcome compromise, but because it has aninherently light and stiffstructure, perfect weightdistribution and finely tuned suspension.

This lightness and balancemake the whole drivingexperience more pleasurable – from the deft touch neededto open and close the elegant‘swan-wing’ doors, to thetouch and feel of even themost minor controls.

DB9, more than almost any other sports car, is in harmony with its driver, and in harmony with the road.

PERFECT BALANCEIN HARMONY WITH ITS DRIVERAND IN HARMONY WITH THE ROAD

FRONT-TO-REAR WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION IS A PERFECT 50:50

WITH 85 PER CENT OF THE CAR’S MASS SITEDBETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR AXLES

V12 POWER & PERFORMANCEDESIGNED TO STIR THE SOUL

Power Torque

A great sports car needs a great engine – it is the heart of any high-performance machine.

In DB9’s case, that greatengine is a powerful yetrefined all aluminium 6.0-litreV12. It produces 450 bhp(335 kW) and 420 lb ft (570Nm) of torque. That results in a power to weight ratio of263 bhp/tonne (194 kW/tonne)– one of the highest figures inits class.

Performance is enormous, yet usable. Top speed is up to 186 mph (300 km/h)and acceleration sees 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds(add two tenths of a secondfor the automatic).

These figures are impressiveand DB9 will respond withreal passion.

But it can also relax, with 80 per cent of the V12engine’s torque, or pullingpower, available from as littleas 1500 rpm. Mid-rangeperformance is astonishing,giving instant overtakingpower almost regardless of engine speed, or evenwhich gear the car is in.

DB9 offers a choice of twotransmissions, both allowingthe driver terrific interactionwith the car.

The six-speed ‘Touchtronic 2’fully automatic transmissionuses shift-by-wire technology,and replaces the conventionalgear lever with dashboard-mounted buttons to selectPark, Reverse, Neutral andDrive modes. The result issophisticated yet intuitive:quick and easy to use andproviding instant response to driver input.

If preferred, or where drivingconditions tempt, magnesiumalloy paddles, sited behindthe steering wheel, enableinstant, F1-style gearchanges, providing the choice of rapid and involvingfingertip gear changing.

Unlike many other sportsGTs, DB9 also offers asix-speed manual gearbox,featuring a conventional gear change and new high-capacity, twin-plate clutch.

DRIVER INTERFACETWO-WAY COMMUNICATION

More than any other quality,DB9 seeks to serve up therichest driving experience in the sports GT class. Itserenades the driver with its balance of engine andexhaust notes; it scintillateswith its performance andagility; it charms with itsdelicious blend of fluentsteering and linear controls.

This match of performanceand luxury is the reason whyDB9 can be both out-and-outsports car and refined GT.

The cabin of DB9 is builtaround the driver. You sit aslow and as close as possibleto the car’s centre of gravity.Combined with the rigid bodystructure and all-aluminium,double-wishbone suspension,the result is unfiltered feedbackof the car’s dynamic behaviour.

This rich two-waycommunication – car todriver, driver to car – is at the very core of DB9s design philosophy.

Aston Martins have alwaysmade great music. The V12engine has been described asthe finest-sounding engine inproduction. The exhaust istuned not only to be efficientand ‘clean’ but to provide the appropriate musicalaccompaniment to the engine.

Under hard acceleration, the engine growls in triumph. Yet, when cruising, the growlbecomes muted and melodic.

The steering, power-assistedfor lightness, is superblyresponsive, helped by the car’s low weight and excellentbalance. The vast disc brakes– 355 mm diameter discs atthe front, and 330 mm at therear – are ventilated andgrooved, to aid cooling andboost braking performance.Radially mounted four-pistonmonobloc calipers providegreat stopping power with afirm yet progressive pedal feel.

Sports Pack (Coupe)Accentuating DB9’s dynamiccharacter, an optional SportsPack has been developed tomeet the specific demands of the most discerning drivingenthusiast. Testing extensivelyat the renowned Nürburgringcircuit in Germany, AstonMartin’s dynamics engineersset out to provide the ultimatein high-speed handling whileretaining everyday drivingcomfort and refinement.

The result is the DB9 SportsPack which features severalnotable revisions to providean even more focused drivingexperience. The new anti-rollbar, uprated springs andrecalibrated dampers work inharmony with the lightweightforged aluminium alloy wheelsand titanium wheel nuts tooffer an exceptional high performance driving capability.

THE INSIDE STORYAN ELEGANT & LUXURIOUS CABINHAND-TRIMMED IN NATURAL MATERIALSDB9 is a luxurious sports car.It is supremely comfortable,with a cabin hand-trimmed in beautiful, natural materials– primarily wood and leather.There is the latest in moderntechnology, yet there are nosuperfluous controls ordisplays. There is a minimumof distraction. Even thesatellite navigation screenmotors seamlessly awaywhen not in use.

Yet the car has very highequipment levels, as you would expect in athoroughbred sports car with GT levels of comfort and refinement.

The cabin interior is hand-made, from the cutting of the leather to the crafting ofthe wood. This is not donemerely for ‘traditional’reasons. It is done because a skilled craftsman can finishwood or leather better thanany machine. The leather isparticularly soft and supple,as you would expect of Aston Martin, and is usedthroughout the cabin.

Wood trims are inspired byquality, hand-finished furniture.There is a choice of four:walnut, mahogany, bambooand piano black.

In every case, ‘single piece’cuts are used, rather than tiny strips or thin appliqués.Crafting such large pieces of wood is only possiblewhen done by hand.

The use of aluminium on the dashboard, in theinstrument panel and for the door handles, reflects the widespread use of thatbeautiful and lightweightmetal throughout the rest of the car. It is a stylish andcontemporary metal, yet one steeped in automotivetradition. Even the starterbutton, the driver’s firstinteraction with the V12engine, is beautiful, made from clear glass.

A great sound system is a pre-requisite in a luxury car,and so Aston Martin turned to Linn, the exclusive hi-fimanufacturer. The audiosystem is specially designedby Linn for DB9, with high-quality, fibre optic electronicspassing audio signals withmarvellous precision andnear-perfect clarity.

PERSONALISATIONAN EXCLUSIVE SPORTS CARTAILORED FOR INDIVIDUALSAston Martins are hand-builtcars, made to order. Thisexclusive, bespoke tailoringphilosophy means anycombination of paint andleather trim colour is possible.That is the essence of hand-craftsmanship; it’s whatmakes Aston Martin’s newGaydon facility the Savile Rowof sports car production.

There is, of course, anextensive palette of standardbody colours and interiorfinishes. These have beenspecially chosen by AstonMartin’s team of designers,who have scoured the world to gain inspiration forcolours, materials, surfacesand finishes.

Twenty paint colours,categorised as ‘contemporary’and ‘fast track’, vary fromsubtle metallics to thebrightest hues.

Twenty shades of the finest,softest leather, eight coloursof carpet and four choices of wood trim – walnut,mahogany, bamboo and pianoblack – complete the choice.

For DB9 Volante, five roofcolours are available, fromblack to sandstone.

DB9 is equipped with a Linn128 W audio system includinga six CD autochanger.

Optional upgrades for the true enthusiast are available,to either the magnificent Linn 260 W system withLimbik 5.1 or the supremeLinn 950 W system with Dolby Pro Logic II.

Standard features includesatellite navigation, reversingsensors, Bluetooth telephonepreparation, cruise control,powerfold mirrors, tyrepressure monitoring andheated front seats.

Further options are availableand include diamond turnedalloy wheels, personalised sillplaques, heated front screenand a bright finish grille.

ENGINEERED QUALITYTECHNICAL INNOVATION

TESTED METICULOUSLY

DB9 is the most thoroughlytested and engineered car in Aston Martin’s history. It is also one of the mosttechnically sophisticated cars in the world.

The long list of design andengineering innovationsincludes the organicelectroluminescent displays(OEL) in the instrument packand centre console.

These provide higherresolution, and improved clarity,compared with conventionalelectronic displays.

Other innovations includeLED (light-emitting diode) rear lamps that projectthrough a reflector, dispensingrays more evenly than otherLED systems. They also reactmore quickly, giving earlierwarning to following driverswhen braking.

A ‘work load monitor’temporarily cancels low-importance warninginformation during spiriteddriving so as not to distractthe driver.

The propeller shaft isparticularly innovative: it is manufactured from carbon fibre for lightness and improved transmission refinement.

A stunning DB9 designfeature is the ‘swan-wing’doors, which open out andup, improving access andreducing the danger of thedoors scuffing on high kerbs.

DB9 also pioneers the use of ‘ultrasonic’ welding, whichis 90 per cent stronger thanconventional spot welding,and results in a better finish,yet uses only five per cent of the energy.

DB9 prototypes were tested in locations as diverse asNardo in Italy, Death Valley in the USA, and inside theArctic Circle in Sweden. In all, more than one milliontesting miles were covered.

SAFETY & SECURITYREASSURANCE IN ANUNPREDICTABLE WORLD

DB9 offers class-leadingsafety. Its structure isdesigned to provide asupremely robust passengercell that cocoons itsoccupants who are furtherprotected by extrudedaluminium crumple zonesfront and rear.

Dual-stage driver andpassenger airbags, seat-mounted side airbags andseat-belt pre-tensioners offerfurther protection. In theVolante, rear roll-over hoopsare automatically deployed,when required, from the rear headrests.

DB9’s active safety – theability to help avoid anaccident occurring in the first place – begins with its inherent agility andresponsiveness. Thelightweight, rigid bodystructure and superbly tunedsuspension and steering are further aided by a host of advanced electronics.These include DynamicStability Control (DSC) andthe latest-generation ABSbrakes which, should thesystem detect loss of grip,combine to help keep the car stable and balanced.

Electronic BrakeforceDistribution (EBD) andEmergency Brake Assist(EBA) are also employed.EBD balances the front-to-rear braking bias, to giveoptimal braking performance.In an emergency, EBA sensorsdetect when maximum brakingis required and automaticallyapply the appropriate force.

Although engineeringdevelopment is carried outexclusively at Aston Martin,whenever appropriatesolutions and expertiseexisted outside the company,that’s where Aston Martin’sengineers turned.

For instance, Volvo in Sweden is recognised as theworld leader in automotivesafety engineering. All thesafety systems used in DB9have been designed andtested using Volvo’s latestsafety technologies, best-practice design guidelinesand advanced computer-aided engineering.

All crash and safety testingwas conducted at Volvo’sworld-renowned safety centre in Sweden, which hasprobably the best facilities inthe world for all aspects ofsafety engineering and crash-test analysis.

Again, the enormously strongaluminium bonded bodystructure provided a superbbasis for class-leading safety.

DB9 is equipped with an integrated Passive Anti Theft System (PATS). This system uses a rollingcode electronic ignition key,preventing unauthorisedengine start-up. The systemalso includes the very latestdesign in vehicle alarmsystems, featuring perimetricsensors and double lockingfor doors.

HAND-CRAFTED AT GAYDONMATCHING TECHNOLOGYWITH TRADITION

DB9 is the first Aston Martin to be produced at thecompany’s new worldheadquarters in Gaydon, in historic Warwickshire.Gaydon is a dedicated, high-technology facility where DB9 is hand-built at a series of work stations bytechnicians and craftsmen.

This hand-craftsmanship hasnothing to do with nostalgia.

Hand-craftsmanship candeliver superior finishes andunique design details. It canalso deliver engineering anddesign solutions for anexclusive sports car thatmass production would find impossible.

The ‘single cut’ headlampapertures in the front wingsremove the need for unsightly cut or join lines and can only be achievedusing Aston Martin’s hand-build processes.

Hand-painting and hand-finishing deliver a better paintfinish than any mechanisedprocess, and each DB9benefits from 25 man-hours of painting, to ensure aperfect finish.

Customer visits are welcomeand form an important part of the unique Aston Martinbuying experience.

A DISTINGUISHED HERITAGEALMOST 90 YEARS OF HAND-CRAFTING

BEAUTIFUL & EXCLUSIVE SPORTS CARS

Aston Martin is one of theworld’s most distinguishedsports car manufacturers. It has produced exclusive,hand-crafted sports cars foralmost 90 years. In that time,only 25,000 Aston Martinshave been built and morethan 80 per cent are still inuse, cherished, driven andraced by enthusiastic ownersaround the world.

The founders of the company,Lionel Martin and RobertBamford, had a clear vision:to create sports cars with adistinctive character; cars builtto a high standard that wereexhilarating to drive and own;cars with power, beauty andsoul. Those values remain.

In 1947, Aston Martin wasacquired by industrialist David(later, Sir David) Brown, andsoon after launched the firstin a series of new DB badgedclassics. These iconic carswere among the mostbeautiful and desirable of all sports cars of the 1950sand 1960s, and helped define the long-term future of the company.

David Brown’s period of ownership saw Aston Martinwin Le Mans in 1959, withthe DBR1, and secure victory in that year’s WorldSportscar Championship.

It also saw Aston Martin firstappear on the big screen, aDB5 armed with some veryspecial optional extras such asan ejector seat and weapons,starring alongside SeanConnery in the James Bondclassic ‘Goldfinger’. Morethan 40 years on, this specialrelationship with 007 is stillgoing strong – the legendaryBritish secret agent drives anAston Martin in the 2006remake of ‘Casino Royale’.

Racing, too, remains firmly in the company’s DNA. Aston Martin made an evocative return to internationalsportscar racing in 2005 when a pair of competition-prepared DBR9s recreatedmany of the marque’sgreatest sporting successes.

Against all the odds, the newDBR9 race car took classhonours on its debut at the12 Hours of Sebring and thenconfirmed its ability by winningthe famous Tourist Trophyoutright at Silverstone. Onceagain race enthusiasts canexperience the unmistakablesight and sound of AstonMartins leading the field at the world’s most famouscircuits – from Laguna Secato Le Mans.
