![]() ![]() Everything about a modern-day British sports car is current and cutting edge. Slipping behind the wheel of the new DB9, it’s hard to think that, in principle, this model has been around for ten years. GT badges can be found throughout, including on the headrests. Exterior updates include a black painted splitter and diffuser, new treatments for the headlights and taillights, black anodized brake calipers and 20-inch alloy wheels. The GT has received the new touch-sensitive AMi II infotainment system. Acceleration from 0 to 62 mph takes only 4.5 seconds, while a top speed of 183 mph can be reached. The mid-mounted V12 has been upgraded to produce 540 horsepower and 457 pound-feet, making it “the most potent car yet devised,” as their press release described. The engineers have pushed their 6.0-liter engine into uncharted territory. Our selection of the most popular British sports car line-up is a comprehensive example of these luxury grand tourers in a variety of styles and colors in both coupe and convertible body styles. The race variants, stripped of luxurious interiors and carbon-fiber clad, have had great success at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the American Le Mans Series, the FIA GT Championship, and 12 Hours of Sebring. This being said, the Volante provides a prime opportunity for drivers and passengers to enjoy the sound of the massive V12 propelling them along. Somewhat heavier, the Volante has been criticized as being more flexible than its coupe sibling due to a loss of structural rigidity as a convertible. The convertible version was also available at the beginning of the model’s production. Other changes also included new exaggerated bi-xenon headlights and LED running lights, an updated grill, updated air vents behind the wheels, and clear rear lights and lenses below the revised spoiler. In 2012, revisions were made to improve its driving experience, particularly by firming up the aluminum chassis and increasing horsepower. Praised for its curvy and refined exterior aesthetic and luxurious leather interior, the first production run was also criticized as being somewhat lacking in its driving experience. Featuring a 6.0-liter 450 hp V12, the Aston Martin DB9 for sale was well received by critics and enthusiasts alike. Debuting at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the coupe became the new carrier of the name in the lineup. ![]()
