Introduction

Aston Martin DB9 -- 2005 Review: Although the Aston Martin DB9 could be used solely as Point A-to-Point B transportation, doing so almost should not be allowed. It would just undermine the incredible aesthetic achievement that Aston has pulled off. The DB9 is a spectacular piece of work, both inside and out. Here, the term "vehicle" applies in a broader, more conceptual sense. That is, the lucky few who experience the DB9, aside from arriving at their physical destination, will also be transported to the narrow realm of unparalleled automotive execution.

Aston Martin's design philosophy is simple: build a beautiful, elegant, and modern interpretation of a traditional sports car. In addition, make it a worthy successor to the DB7, Aston Martin's best selling vehicle ever. This British marque chose a somewhat minimalist approach with the new model, leaving off extraneous trim, hiding the front and rear bumpers, and extending the hood right to the front edge of the super car. To make it look like the DB9 was milled from a single piece of metal, Aston Martin has set the headlights into the front fenders and made the door handles flush. Curves appear everywhere - the roofline, the rear clip, the fender flares, the hood - and suggest "a supremely fit person," according to AM. They strove for this image over the hard, jagged, body-builder-type look. Aluminum 19-in. wheels and tires fill the fenders and maintain athletic proportion. Both Coupe and Convertible (called Volante) versions will be offered.

Features

The transition into the 2+2 cockpit has been paid special attention, as the doors are engineered to swing upward slightly when opened to ease occupant entry. Closing them takes advantage of gravity and the shutting process is gentler than if they were slammed conventionally. Once inside, occupants will find the DB9 just as dazzling as they did standing beside it. Twenty new leather colors are available to juxtapose against the wood trim in the center stack. Aston Martin employs large single pieces of wood rather than small strips, hoping they will appear more structural and furniture-like. Walnut, mahogany, and bamboo are offered, and each is finished will oil instead of high gloss. The oil provides a natural, fit appearance favorable to the plastic, artificial look produced by gloss. Aluminum is used to accent the door handles, instrument cluster, and dashboard.

A special feature is the glass starter button, in the top row of the center stack. Rather than using a plastic button, Aston Martin etched its logo into a clear glass one. While the engine is running the button glows red, and while off a light blue. The main instrument cluster is another innovation, and uses organic electroluminescent displays instead of regular LCDs. Comparatively; OELs are easier to read, especially at an angle. Optional interior features include cruise control, seat heaters, navigation, tire pressure monitoring, and park distance sensors. Cupholders are available as an accessory, as well.
