We know, we know, the Aston Martin is James Bond’s car of choice. Ok, now that we are through that detail, let’s take a look at a worthy exotic vehicle, the Aston Martin DB9. While this vehicle is definitely priced in the exotic category, it does offer styling, performance and reliability that make it perfect for pretty much everyday driving. Whether you are tearing up the curves in Switzerland or racing down the autobahn or even stuck in NY traffic, the Aston Martin offers plenty to be excited about.
Under the Hood of the Aston Martin DB9
The DB9 enjoys lots of power from its 6.0 liter, V12 engine that offers a whopping 450 horsepower and 420 lb ft of torque. This amount of torque will give you immediate whiplash if not careful. Married to this engine is a choice of two transmissions. The first is a manual 6 speed and the second is an automatic triptronic transmission. If you are wondering about acceleration, the DB9 definitely offers quick acceleration- less than 5 seconds from 0 to 60 and with its large 19 inch wheels, the DB9 offers incredible handling and performance.
Inside the DB9
If you like what is under the hood, you will love the details and luxury found inside the DB9. Only the best leather is used for the seating and there is plenty of wood within the vehicle to enjoy. Add in quite a nice sound system and plenty of technology to remain comfortable no matter the temperature outside, the Aston Martin is one of the best ultra luxury sports cars available. The price for this vehicle is about $180K. It should be noted that besides the coupe version, there is also a very nicely done convertible as well.
