On the exterior design corners have been avoided and that various elements protruding from the body. Despite this, the value of the aerodynamic coefficient is not good: 0.35. A Porsche 911 is 0.28, a Bentley Continental GT 0.32 and a Lamborghini Murcielago 0.33; as Aston Martin DB9 have not sought a low rate but a high stability at high speed.
The doors are open normally, but tilting towards the top 12. The foreign hands are illuminated by LEDs also use these LEDs in the pilots.
Bring tires 19 "and the Bridgestone tires are about 50 REO, specific to this model (235/40 ZR19 front and 275/35 ZR19 rear). Brake discs are ventilated and striated. It has ABS, electronic distributor and brake assistant, Stability control, front and side airbags and seatbelt pretensioners on.
The Aston Martin DB9 engine is in a twelve-cylinder 'V' for the 60th. Da 456 hp at 6,000 rpm and 570 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. It is based on carrying the Vanquish but changes the crankshaft, the intake and exhaust manifolds, the lubrication system and the electronic management.
The cylinder head, 48-valve, was developed jointly by Aston Martin DB9 and the department of development and technology of Ford. You can lead a gearbox 'Graziano' manual or a "ZF" automatic, two of six relationships. With this engine, the Aston Martin DB9 reaches 300 km / h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.9 s (5.1 s automatic).
For the shooters inside the doors, dashboard, instrument panel and some indicators of it has been used aluminum. The wood has been used in only two places: the top of the console, and if the purchaser so wishes, at the top of the door panel. There are twenty different colors of leather upholstery for the interior.
The counter has the peculiarity that rotates in the opposite direction-clockwise, as in the Atom and the DB2. There are no red zone but a light that turns on to warn that it has reached the limits of the regime. The moment that turns depends on the ambient temperature, the time it takes the engine running and the mileage of it.
In the box there is a screen-type "OEL (organic electroluminescent display), the Aston Martin DB9 is today the only production model in a series that takes. Regarding LCD has a higher resolution, contrast and viewing angle.
There is no gear in the automatic version. On the dashboard, there are four buttons to select the operating mode (P, R, N, D) and magnesium cam behind the wheel to change the relationship. Among the four buttons change is the start of the engine, which is transparent glass. When pressed lights red, and then turn blue.
The sound equipment ("Linn Hi Fi system) has 10 speakers (950 W) and a bass (200 W) that incorporates an accelerometer to compensate for changes in pressure in the internal wiring of fiber optics.
It has the aluminum chassis, with pieces made by process of casting, extrusion or stamping; the bonnet, roof and rear wings are also of this material. The front wings and boot lid are of a compound.
The suspension is independent of deformable parallelogram with a double triangle. Both the front and rear are mounted on a subchassis; the rear also supports the gearbox and differential. The two subchassis and the body of the pads are made of aluminum. The Aston Martin DB9 weighs 1785 kilograms (version with manual shift), the same as a BMW M6, a Bentley Continental GT weighs 600 kg more (2,385 kg).
The pieces of the chassis and body panels are joined to each other through an adhesive. To join the float back is used an ultrasound system that vibrate (with a frequency of 20,000 Hz) molecules of the two pieces of aluminum to merge, creating a link between the two pieces. Such a union is 90 percent stronger than a spot welding.
To achieve an optimal weight distribution (50:50) and to lighten up the set have been used other lightweight materials, including magnesium (in the interior structure of the doors and column of the address) or carbon fiber for the transmission shaft connecting the engine (located at the front) with the gearbox (placed ago).
The Aston Martin DB9 is manufactured by hand at the plant in Gaydon, Warwickshire.
