2005 Aston Martin DB9 Why This Car Is Special The 2005 Aston Martin
DB9 we have here at Skyway Classics has all the highly evolved
Aston Martin cues such as a wide-mouth grille, meaty 19-inch
wheels, Coke-bottle-shaped fender flares, short overhangs, long
dash-to-axle ratio, and a streamlined, set-back cabin. Then add the
all-aluminum V-12 engine and drivetrain and you have one fine

With the front-midship placement of the all-aluminum DOHC 5.9-liter
V-12 with 450 horsepower and the automatic transmission moved to
the rear axle, the DB9 enjoys an ideal 50/50 front/rear weight
distribution. A full 85 percent of the car's mass is within the
wheelbase. The Aston 12 makes power the old-fashioned way, without
variable valve timing or variable-length intake manifolds. A full
85 percent of the engine's torque is achieved at 1500 rpm. It has
twin electronically controlled throttles and large-bore
stainless-steel dual exhaust. The resulting sound is as delicious
as anything Ferrari or Lamborghini has to offer. The engine has
been dropped down in the chassis to lower the center of gravity.
Forged-aluminum control arms front and rear and aluminum coil-over
shocks help reduce unsprung weight. The car corners nearly flat
with the large alloy factory wheels and fat tires and
large-diameter Brembo four-piston monobloc calipers Interior The

is painted a pleasing blue shade that utilizes carbon fiber,
extruded aluminum and composite materials that are bonded together
to form a central safety cell in a process also used in the
aerospace industry. Aston Martin says its lighter, stiffer and
stronger than conventional body construction that utilizes bolts or
welding. The automaker also claims it provides improved crash
protection. It has side vents and a large grille that is flanked by
bold auxiliary driving lamps and the V12 looks superb. The front
fenders and hood panels incorporate finely detailed compound curves
that sweep back to steeply raked
