Well. Looks like I’m posting back to back childhood supercars. This post though covers a completely different supercar compared to the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta which I had written about in my previous post. This time it’s going to be the Aston Martin DB9, which was launched in late 2003 with production starting the following year.
Before I get into the details of the DB9 itself, I thought I would share an interesting story about my introduction to the DB9 and Aston Martin as a whole. My introduction to Aston Martin unlike the majority didn’t come from James Bond. Instead, it came from the 2011 racing game Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. The DB9, DBS Volante and I believe the V12 Vantage too were all featured in the game and they were my go to cars both for the cop and racer modes for some reason.
I ended up liking most of the Aston Martins of that time, but it was the DB9 which I quickly became attached to. The front of the car looks beautiful with the headlights and grill design suiting the car very well. It’s just a very attractive and stylish looking car in general and clearly I am not the only one who has this thought, because the DB9 just happens to be one of Aston Martins most popular cars even as of today.
The DB9 is one of the V12 engine Aston Martins. While it may not have been as fast or powerful compared to other Aston Martins or supercars, it still is a great supercar for its own reasons. The DB9 became an ideal choice for those who wanted a stylish supercar that is more suited to everyday driving.
No doubt the Aston Martin DB9 is one of the brands big successes as it ended up having a long production run of 13 years. The DB9 for me is one of the most beautiful cars Aston Martin ever made and still remains one of my favorites as of today.
