The Aston Martin DB9 is a high-performance ultra-luxury coupe and Volante convertible. Often praised for its precise handling, the DB9 is also known for having one of the most distinct exhaust notes in any sports car.
The Aston Martin DB9 comes with the option of a conventional six-speed manual gearbox or a button-controlled six-speed automatic. It is powered by a 6.0-liter V-12 engine that has 450 horsepower. The interior is enhanced with optional walnut, mahogany or bamboo wood trim. The DB9 achieves a 50/50 weight ratio by placing the gear box in the rear of the vehicle.
For 2007, both the Volante and coupe get new seats that house head and thorax airbags, heating and twin lumbar adjustment. [source:]
