Aston Martin DB9[edit]
The Aston Martin DB9 is a two-door grand touring car produced by the British automaker Aston Martin from 2004 until it was discontinued on 27 July 2016. Commencing production in January 2004 for the coupe version and February 2005 for the convertible version, the latter termed the "Volante", the DB9 was designed by Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker. The DB9 succeeds the DB7, which Aston Martin produced from 1994 to 2004. The car's chassis is composed of aluminium and composite materials melded together by various different techniques. Aston Martin, in 2008 and 2010, implemented minor alterations to the DB9's exterior and engine. But in 2013, the most significant update was made, with the car's most prominent adjustments lying in its front fascia. The DB9 was adapted for Aston Martin Racing in the form of the "DBR9" and the "DBRS9", both introduced in 2005. To commemorate to discontinuation of the DB9, Aston Martin released the "DB9 GT" in 2015. (Full article...)
