Aston Martin has released details of styling, engineering and equipment changes to its DB9 range. This is the first major change to the range since its debut in 2003.
On the outside, there's a new front bumper, bright finish radiator grille and a re-shaped lower intake featuring bright mesh. New headlight bezels, re-styled sills, silver brake callipers, redesigned alloy wheels and clear rear light lenses complete the styling changes.
The DB9's passive damping system has been replaced by a new adaptive damping system, which is now standard along with a new tyre pressure monitoring system, a revised Bluetooth microphone system and stereo options.
Aston Martin's Product Development Director, Ian Minards, described the changes: "The DB9 was the first car built at Gaydon adopting the VH architecture. It has evolved every year since, with significant changes including a power upgrade and successive reductions in CO2 emissions. The latest package of improvements goes further than ever".
The Aston Martin DB9 is available in Coupé or Volante (convertible) with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard. Production of the revised DB9 has commenced and is available for delivery from July.
