Aston Martin

The latest DB9 incorporates a series of chassis developments for both the Coupe and Volante derivates. Bilstein dampers are introduced in addition to revised upper suspension arms and retuned suspension bushes to deliver improved ride quality; aiding greater refinement in the Volante and an enhanced sporting feel in the Coupe. The DB9 Volante also benefits from revisions to the front shear panel which increases torsional rigidity by 10%, further improving refinement. These changes include a revised version of Aston Martin's 6.0 liter V12 engine to deliver improved power and torque. Peak power of 470bhp - increased by 20bhp - is now reached at 6,000rpm, resulting in a power to weight ratio of 267bhp per ton.
