Aston Martin DB9 performance

Whilst both the Coupe and the Volante in the Aston Martin DB9 range are quick, more emphasis is put into the sheer luxury and refinement of these prestige sports cars. Prodrive, the company know in majority control of Aston Martin actively admit that these two GT autos are not designed to be as quick as their nearest competitors, the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Ferrari F430, what little is lagging in power and performance, is more than made up in the sheer build quality and luxury of these high performance super cars. There are slight differences in performance on the two marques.

This is because the Volante is slightly heavier and taller than the Coupe to accommodate the soft top. All in all, if you afford one or both of the new 2008 Aston Martin DB9 luxury Grand Tourers, you should get them! Below are the Aston Martin DB9 performance statistics.
