The Aston Martin DB9 is a British grand touring car first shown 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 letters "DB" are the initials of David Brown, the
owner of Aston Martin for a significant part of its history.
Although it succeeded the DB7, Aston Martin did not call the car
the DB8 due to fears that the name would suggest that the car was
equipped with only a V8 (the DB9 has a V12). The DB9 is made
largely of aluminum. The hand assembled engine is a 6.0L V12 beast
producing 444 hp at 6,000 rpm and 420 ft-lbs of torque. It has a
top speed of 295 km/h (183 mph) and a 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) time of
4.1 seconds. This 2006 Volante features a six-speed ZF automatic
transmission, anti-roll bar and double wishbone suspension
supported by coil springs. With all this hi performance going on,
many still point to the quality interior as the true star of the
show. Hand-stitched leather and walnut are done to a high standard
and modern features such as pop-up Navigation screen and Dolby
Pro-Logic sound system are tastefully integrated. This stunning
Slate Blue/Ivory Leather DB9 Volante stunner represents the best of
the best in workmanship and build quality and is located at our
Milwaukee showroom. You can view this vehicle in greater detail
