Aston Martin DB9
Specifications
The story behind this collectible...
More lovable, more rounded than a Bentley Continental GT. Drives better than a Ferrari 575. Less expensive than all its rivals. A real, fabulous, magnificent; Aston Martin DB9.
– Jeremy Clarkson
This 2+2 Grand Tourer from Aston Martin was groundbreaking. Innovative in every way. Marek Reichman, then design director of Aston Martin, has thought about every detail. Enjoying this car starts when you grab the key from the table in your English country house. When you get the key in your hands, it immediately gives you a sense of ownership, the theme song of the Champions League starts playing in your head. You get in, turn the key, and after the hands briefly show their maximum, you are pleasantly overwhelmed by the roaring sound of the 6.0 V12. You giggle a little, and are slightly tense.
The car feels like transport for a gentleman, but when you get to higher revs you unleash a bloodthirsty English tiger. Pure emotion is evoked by a balance between power, performance and chic elegance. You tap the car into first gear as if you are giving a gentle tap on a bottom. After half an hour of driving you know for sure; you have had the honor of driving an icon. You have driven a timeless Aston Martin DB9.
This beautiful DB9? The car was originally delivered in 2004 in Munich, South Germany, and has been dealer-maintained since then. In the Netherlands, the car has been Kroymans-maintained. So you can be sure that you can still make many beautiful kilometers with this beauty, which has always slept indoors. Power, beauty and soul come together in a sculpture of automotive passion. We challenge you to come and drive the Aston Martin for a while, and then fall in love with this Meteorite Silver David Brown 9. Say no more.
See you soon?
I’m sorry, but having an Aston Martin DB9 on the drive and not driving it is a bit like having Keira Knightley in your bed and sleeping on the couch. - Jeremy Clarkson, again
