2007 Aston Martin DB9 Base Coupe 2-Door 6.0L

Detailed item info Model OverviewThe 2007 Aston Martin DB9 is an elegantly designed vehicle built for those seeking a performance machine that doesn't skimp on luxury. Nowhere else can you find such a perfect blending of luxury and sport in a car for a mere starting price of $162. 00. The DB9 Volante eschews the weight and complexity of a folding steel top. instead opting for a traditional fabric roof. This top can be lowered in a mere 17 seconds. In 2006. the Volante was limited to 165 mph. but it can now reach the same 186-mph speed that the coupe can for 2007. What propels these two fine motorcars to such speeds is a 5. 9L V12. This sophisticated engine makes 450 horsepower and generates 420 ft-lbs of torque. To those driver's used to a six- or eight-cylinder engine. the DB9's V12 is nothing short of a revelation. It's not just how powerful the engine feels. but how utterly smooth it delivers the thrust to the rear wheels. A six-speed manual transmission is standard. while a six-speed Sportshift automatic transmission is available. Even if you never went faster than 55 mph. though. you could enjoy owning a DB9 for the beauty of the car's lines and the luxury within. The leather is not only of the finest quality. but the construction of the seats makes them near works of art themselves. Of course you get a full complement of modern safety features to go along with that gentleman's boardroom feel of the interior. There are front and side air bags. and the coupe adds head curtain bags. too. Traction control helps modulate the engine's thrust. and electronic stability control and ABS are also standard. Some notable options include a navigation system. a Dolby Pro Logic II sound system. xenon headlights. an array of wheels. and heated seats.
