Aston Martin DB9
James Bond’s favourite ride offers up 510 (DB9) or 565 horses (Vanquish) from its front-mounted V12. Equipped with a six-speed automatic, these grand touring coupes offer room for four. The DB9 is available this year in special Black Carbon and White Carbon editions, both featuring carbon fibre trim pieces. The lighter of the two, the Vanquish, is the ultimate Aston Martin and British restraint won’t prevent it from rubbing fenders with Italy’s best exotics. No factory Q package, sadly.
