The Aston Martin DB9 is a grand tourer first shown by Aston Martin at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show.
Available both as a coupe and a convertible known as the Volante, the
DB9 was the successor of the DB7. It was the first model built at Aston
Martin's Gaydon facility. The DB9, designed by Ian Callum and
Henrik Fisker, is made largely of aluminium. The chassis is the VH
platform, also found in the Aston Martin DBS. The engine, on the other
hand, is the 6.0L V12 from the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. The most
recent Aston Martin has a top speed of 295 km/h (183 mph) and a 0 to 97
km/h (60 mph) time of 4.1 seconds. The DB9 is rated well by car critics, who appreciate the car's interior and exterior design. In spite of comments regarding the DB9's weaker engine and handling, reviewers liked the car's ride and driving experience. Almost all of the DB9's look alike. However the price of the new 2014 is now in the stratosphere at nearly $215,000. So a well sorted very well cared for model that is ten years old has depreciated to around $50,000. In my opinion it is fully depreciated and if it was well maintained with low mileage it should start to see substantial appreciation in the coming years. |
