2010 Aston Martin DB9 Specs

Aston Martin went through a long period of producing unremarkable cars. No more! The DB9 has been much lauded. The specs for the 2010 Aston Martin DB9 are now out.

Boring. Stodgy. All these terms could have been applied to the once proud Aston Martin brand at the turn of the century. The car James Bond drove so lovingly had become...well, antiquated. The company needed a shot of adrenaline and it got one. The Aston Martin DB7 was released with some critical problems, but those were solved with the DB9. The car is masterfully beautiful with sleek styling, performance to waste and very high end quality. It can be a bit snobbish, but it makes me and others drool. This is one beautiful car.

Aston Martin seems to know it has a good thing on its hands. Although it has other models that are equally impressive, it continues to refine and perfect the DB9. With this in mind, the specs for the 2010 version are out. Here they are:
