Beschreibung:

The sleek superformed aluminium body of the DB9 was initially designed by Ian Callum but had also been significantly influenced by the next director of AM design, Hendrik Fisker. It was powered by a third generation version of the now familiar 6.0 litre, V12 and has a top speed of 186mph. The DB9 was the first of what was to become a long line of production Aston Martins to use VH architecture; using superformed parts in the chassis and footwell as well as the body panels. The individual die-cast, extruded or stamped aluminium elements of the VH platform are bonded with strong adhesives and self-piercing rivets to make a lightweight but stiff backbone. The DB9 body shell weighed 25% less than that of the DB7 but has double its torsional rigidity. This process also allowed Aston Martin to retain high levels of engineering accuracy in producing a car at a higher volume, ensuring chassis performance to match the engine power. Aston Martins have always made the interior of their cars to be very special places. The fine detail of finishing is typified by the starter button made of glass and sand etched with the Aston Martin wings logo. With just three owners in total, this superb drivers' car presents in Slate Blue with a Cream Truffle interior. The last owner acquired the car in 2008, when it was just one year old and has maintained a full Aston Martin service history all the way though until now, the last of which, its big 10 year service, was in September, 2016. The vendor has cherished this example and the only reason for sale is the acquisition of a DB11, reason enough I think. Supplied with a Touchtronic gearbox, the factory options also include UK Bluetooth, grey brake callipers, Venture shield front end paint protection film, front parking sensors, front stone guards and 19" 15 spoke alloy wheels. A superb car and superb value.
