db9

The DB9 was hugely significant for Aston Martin, keeping the money rolling in after Ford sold it in 2006, and providing a base for the Rapide, DBS and Vanquish. Here's a look at how the model has changed over the years, and where Aston Martin is headed with the DB11

When you think of famous screen cars, James Bond's DB5 is one of the first cars that springs to mind. Since the DB5 debuted in Goldfinger, Bond and Aston have gone hand-in-hand to the point where the British sports car marque has created a special edition DB9 to celebrate the relationship.

Aston Martin has been around for 101 years and to mark the occasion the car maker is debutting two new special editions at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, the Vantage N430 and the DB9 Carbon Black and Carbon White.
