I just saw one of these Aston Martins here in Sacramento. Beautiful supercar luxury GT. I got a good look at the car since we were both stuck in traffic. I really like the styling of these later model DB9s, very impressive on the highway.

Yeah, that makes me nervous too. Why couldn't they offer a manual gearbox as optional, as in old-school Astons?
Cheese, I also remember a report where was written that the '12 Vanquish would do 200 mph and 0-62 acceleration - in under 4!

Crap, and where is that?
And also this comparison has finished me completely

But if you close eyes on the technical numbers, these cars would cars would seem absolutely magnificent :D

AM's topspeed figures are estimations, always.
The 2004 DB9 with the very same gearbox, very same gearratios managed 309 kph at Nardo (that's the 6900-rpm-redline). With the same gearratios, the manual-DBS did 309 kph as well. At 6900 rpm as well.
This new, even more powerful version would manage the same topspeed easily, IMO - without the limit, of course.

The new Aston Martins have a top speed of 295 km/h because the sh#tty auto transmission. AM limited the top speed for the transmissions safety.

Looks great! The only thing is dont like is the gearbox. They couldve done so much better, like a 7 speed dual clutch box, instead of the old 6 speed auto. But it looks fantastic! It makes me wonder how long the DB9 will go on for. Because if they keep it upgrading like this, it will never get old!

Here it is - the new DB9! Actually it's the same Virage (and it looks the same fantastic :), but with better engine!
But I can't understand, why the engine's displacement is claimed to 5935 cc, while there (exactly on engine) is written "6.0 V12"
