Aston Martin DB9 specs

DB9 sound check by yours truly

The average fuel consumption is 14 liters / 16 MPG. Could be a bit less because I was driving around on winter tires and in 3°C

So I drove the DB9 for a while. It's an absolutely wonderful machine. Really good visibility, very comfortable, and the turning circle of a compact car almost. But I'm not gonna lie... the interior and user friendliness is that of an old man who's worried about machines taking over.
I really loved the sound of the V12 engine. 6 liters is nothing to scoff at even today. It's not a screaming 812 or Aventador, but it was very harmonic and consistent sound.
Also, acceleration wise? It was just right for me. Not too fast, not too slow. A good old 6 speed automatic put in the mix. And you easily outpaced everything. I had a Passat R chase me on the Autobahn until it gave up on the road to 250. It had winter tires on so I didn't push it past 250, just in case. Otherwise I might have gone 295.
The navigation however, was absolutely horrid. It looked like one of these old 2009 GPS systems that only shows the route 2 times a day, or 100 meters further from your position so I had to navigate over my phone.

Still, all in all, an amazing experience. The dealer told me he's getting an Aston Martin DB11, and he'd let me know when I can get in one.😎

Gonna drive one of these next week. It's gonna be fun

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.

@ PeterN: LOL

COOLEST CAR IN THE WORLD, ITS SO COOL I HAVE'NT REALISED CAPITALS ARE ON UNTIL now!!

This is a beautiful car.

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.

Aston Martin - one of the most traditional auto-manufacture. Think, they will produce cars with approx the same configuration for 20 years!

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!

Thnks!
in October you can buy it.

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"
