Fallen in love with Aston Martins since Bond's DB5. Aston Martins are
a different breed from the Italians. The styling is not as sexy, but
it has a certain allure of tradition and has the polite offensiveness
that's typical of the British. Think of swear words like bollocks and
bloody hell. Aren't they suprisingly powerful yet cultured? At least I
think so
This is the Aston Martin DB9 I spotted on the road last week. DB9 is a
thoroughbred sports car with GT levels of comfort and refinement. Now
the marque is owned by Ford, but it still manages to retain that
unique Aston Martin character, automotive masterpieces borne out of
craftsmanship and use of the finest quality materials.
It has a V12, 6000 cc (6.0 liter) engine that displaces 444 bhp @ 6000
rpm and a massive 420 lb-ft @ 5000 rpm. This magnificent beast will do
0-100km.h in 4.5seconds. More impressively is its ability to break the
speed limit and collect speeding tickets like paper is going out of
style... it can reach 160km/h from standstill in just 10.3 seconds
Well if you think that 160km/h will get your a RM300 fine, you might
as well go for its top speed? Try reaching it's speed limit of 300 km/h). And
the police will probably find it difficult to pull the
trigger of it's handheld speed radar in time to catch you. The DB9 is
such a beauty in real life. It's amazingly poised and muscular with a
sexy flowy arch to the back of the car. Really really sexy... big and
powerful. I wonder what the owner is making up for
