Aston Martin DB9 Volante 2013 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The 2013 Aston Martin DB9 disposes the Virage nameplate from their line-up. The V12 engine has received a horsepower boost but the exterior changes are barely noticeable. The front grille of the DB9 is inspired by the One-77 hypercar that features five horizontal vanes which are chamfered to create an aerofoil profile. It also gets zinc bonnet vents and a pronounced rear boot "˜flip' to further enhance the aerodynamic performance of the car. The cabin interiors features jewel-like glass switchgear, full-grain leather interior with the welt feature that featured on the Virage, Walnut trim with graphite and iridium surrounds on the centre console. There is an optional carbon-fibre pack available for both the exterior and interior. The 2+2 convertible is powered by a front mounted 48-valve 6-litre V12 that send power to the rear wheels. The motor is mated to a "˜Touchtronic 2' six-speed transmission with electronic shift-by wire control system; no traditional manual gearbox is being offered. Both the 398 mm front discs and the 398mm rear discs are made of carbon ceramic and they are clamped by 6-piston and 4-piston calipers, respectively. The 20-inch 5-spoke cast alloy painted wheels wear Pirelli 245-section rubber upfront and 295-section at the rear.
