The Aston Martin DB9 is a grand tourer launched
by Aston Martin in 2004.
It is the first new car to be built at Aston's
Gaydon facility. The name "DB" stems
from David Brown, the owner of Aston Martin for
a sizeable part of its history. The DB9, which
was designed by Ian Callum and finished by his
successor, Henrik Fisker, superseded the now-discontinued
Aston Martin DB7 (also by Callum) which started
production in 1994.
In 2006, Aston Martin introduced a "Sports
Pack" for the DB9, which includes increased
structural stiffness, lighter 19-inch forged aluminium
alloy wheels complete with titanium wheel nuts,
6 mm lower ride height, as well as revised spring
and damper rates.
