proudly named ‘DB9 GT’, aston martin designed a premium grand tourer to be the next iteration of the luxury sports car. focused on long distance, high speed journeys in both comfort and style, the british manufacturer continued the tradition with a hand built front mounted 6.0 liter V12 engine. the ‘DB9 GT’ distributes the 630 Nm of power through a six speed ‘touchtronic II’ transmission with an electronic shift by wire control system. the whole drivetrain can get the ‘DB9 GT’ off the line from zero to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 294 km/h.

aston martin chief creative officer, marek reichman, said: ‘the purity of form and proportion, together with a lithe powerful, stance, remain at the core of what the DB9 is to look at. with these changes, we have made the DB9 GT yet more stylish, while retaining its unmistakable and globally renowned identity.’ aside from the GT badges, the ‘DB9 GT’ has a black painted splitter and diffuser, modified headlight and tail light treatments, and fresh ten spoke 20 inch alloy wheels. the aston martin ‘DB9 GT’ will make a public debut at UK’s goodwill festival of speed this month and is available to order now in markets around the world.
