Aston Martin DB9 2010 Qatar Prices & Specs

The current Aston Martin design philosophy is epitomised by this 2+2 seater, available as a DB9 coupe or a DB9 Volante convertible, that is a combination of agility, V12 power, smoothness, beautiful design and hand craftsmanship. Using a radical new aluminium-bonded body frame, the DB9 is one of the most sophisticated and technically advanced sports cars in the world. It is powered by the latest version of Aston Martin's 6.0-litre V12, with upgraded specs from 2009. Offered are either a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual. The bonnet, roof and rear wings are aluminium. The front wings and bootlid are composite. Cast aluminium is used in the windscreen surround. Magnesium alloy, which is even lighter than aluminium, is used in the steering column assembly and inner door frames. The driveshaft is made from carbon fibre. And the interior is covered in leather. The DB9 achieves perfect 50:50 weight distribution, further improving handling. All the usual power accessories are available, as are a modern CD stereo and choice of leather upholstery and wood trim. New for 2009 is the 'Emotion Control Unit' key, which replaces the Ford parts-bin key of the pre-update DB9. Front and side airbags, stability control and ABS are all standard.
