Description
Slip behind the wheel of this 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante and you step into a modern classic, shaped under the eye of designer Ian Callum and built on Aston Martin’s advanced VH aluminum architecture. This grey over black Volante blends timeless elegance with genuine grand touring performance, offering open top motoring with a distinctly British sense of occasion.
Up front sits a 5.9 liter V12, developing **450 hp** and **570 Nm** of torque, delivered to the rear wheels through a 6 speed automatic Touchtronic 2 transmission. The result is effortless pace. 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 300 km/h, backed by a rich, cultured V12 soundtrack that remains one of the defining traits of the DB9. Double wishbone suspension at all four corners and large vented disc brakes provide reassuring control and composure, whether cruising or covering ground quickly.
The DB9 Volante’s proportions are low and purposeful, with a long bonnet, short rear deck, and fabric roof that folds away to reveal a refined four seat cabin trimmed in premium leather and aluminum. Curb weight sits around 1,800 kg, giving the car a substantial, planted feel without dulling its responses. Fuel capacity of roughly 80 liters supports true long distance touring.
With total DB9 Volante production of around **6,380 units**, this convertible offers a level of exclusivity that sets it apart from more common luxury GTs. Showing 65,000 km and priced at $89,888, this example delivers handcrafted Aston Martin pedigree, V12 performance, and open air luxury in a package that remains as desirable today as when it left Newport Pagnell.
