I am 57 and bought my first Aston today. My life is now perfect. 😊😊
Why didn't you get the GTR?
Good for you! My dream is a V12 Vantage S, DB9, or a Vanquish. Any work 😂
Congrats! My dad just retired and is in process of buying a beautiful DB9. Have fun with Your car!
Bought my first Aston nearly 3 months ago. A stretched DB9, aka Rapide S. Same engine but with 550hp of naturally aspirated awesomeness! He's right in what he says at the end, "there's nothing quite so special as an Aston"!
I sincerely hope your enjoying it. I bought mine in September this year for my 50th birthday present to myself and I’m so enjoying it. It’s my one and only dream car and it’s a nice feeling to own it
Agree with Typlo8, the most beautiful car Aston have made. Had a tour of the Aston factory and the guy showing us round said the 6L V12 was the best engine Aston have ever produced. I thought he was going to cry when he explained no more will be made! This car will increase in value over the next ten years and, eventually, will be up there with the DB5.
Was lucky to pick one of these GTs up with only 500 miles on the clock, and one of only 3 coupes produced in red. It's just awesome. Life is complete.
For me the DB9 is the most beautiful Aston ever made.
Typlo8 vanquish in my oppinion
And that’s a fact
Maxmunchy It's not until you see the db9 next to vanquish you realize how much sexier the 9 is, no contest.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course, but I think the proportions are even more balanced in the Rapide.
I have a navy blue 2009, it turns heads even now. I’ll never not have an Aston Martin. It’s class, comfort, beautifully designed, and I’ve never driven another production car that sounds like this. Even younger kids love this when I drive by, and they to tend to love new supras and other drift cars more.
Yes but even the youngsters look round at the sound of a DB9 at full chat!😂 Love mine!❤
The engine is not 2 Ford Duratec engines bolted together. Check the tech spec on the engine and the Wiki write up and you will see it is a purpose build engine designed and built for Aston Martin.
What a beautiful production. I love Aston's. Merry Christmas, Car Throttle!
Man, I am glad that I took the chance to finally make my dream come true. Just bought a 2007 DB9 Coupé yesterday before it is too late and this kind of car dies forever.
They sure as hell don't make these kind of cars any more! Naturally aspirated engine, hydraulic steering. I've got the Rapide S, and a Z4 M Coupe. The best of both worlds, GT and sports car 😊
We recently bought one of these! just started making vlogs with it. beautiful car!!
One of the great videos on Aston DB9 ! Quality. Thank YOU.
More reviews from him!!
Beautiful, timeless design
Matt is a good presenter.. no qualms about more features from him!
Not the fastest car I have ever owned (My Nissan GTR R35 was mental)but the best looking car by far.
I absolutely agree with what this reviewer says at the end - "When this car and this engine go out of production it will be a sad day indeed". I just found out that the DB9 has gone out of production now that the DB11 has be introduced and the only naturally aspirated V12 left is the Vanquish. Bummer! Before the DB9 and the Vanquish, Aston Martin had mediocre design. Their designs looked very similar to Jaguar (I always wonder who coped who - Jaguar or Aston Martin). Then they nailed classy design with the DB9 and the Vanquish. But now they have taken a step back with the pudgy back end design of the DB11 (although they have nailed the interior design of the DB11. It is a MAJOR step up from the DB9 and Vanquish).
I have spent time in front of the DB9 and the Vanquish comparing the two designs from every angle and I have come to the conclusion that although both cars have an absolutely elegant design, the DB9 has a slightly more handsome and classy design than the Vanquish. I find that the headlights and the back end are slightly more elegant than the Vanquish in my opinion. So the dilemma is do I go for a second hand DB9 or a new Vanquish? The upside with a second hand DB9 is that its a great deal cheaper than a Vanquish and the upside of a Vanquish is more power and performance than a DB9.
This has been my dream car since I was 7, thanks casino royale! I will have a 2016 db9 one day.
What a Beautiful looking car!
Somehow, in some angles, I seem to notice a similarity in the exterior lines of this DB9 and the FRS/BRZ. Well, they are some sexy lines regardless.
He is the English Ashton Kutcher... Cant stop looking at him without noticing it.
Oh ffs I say this about almost every video on CT Turbo but why doesnt this get put on the other channel?
+S Miller This channel needs to grow as well and this can only be done by adding quality content!
one of the prettiest cars of all time
Will parts be scarce because I am waiting of delivery of a 2009 5.9
Where was this video taken?
This video is to similar to the one that Top Gear made at end of season 13 for Aston Martin Vantage.
Un vrai bonheur!
They should keep making the db9 and ditch turbi... N. A engines are my choice!
Best looking Aston ever. The DB11 looks awful
completely disagree. both beutiful in their own right
Great video for a great car. looks a lot like a Tesla but a nicer. I understand that Aston Martin says diesels are dead and electrics are the future. Are they planning on an electric car in their future?
Could you tell me which song this is exactly from Tom Kent?
+Elias Savelkoul The track is called 'Aims' :)
+Car Throttle Extra I still cant find it can u please tell me another name.
Great video, but where is Alex?
+Bob Nub Busy with his MX-5. Or listening to Phil Collins or something.
Car Throttle Turbo No really where is Alex? Why couldn't he make it? Or is he really driving Phil and/or listening to Phil Collins?
+Bob Nub Just finished the Phil Collins greatest hits album. What have I missed? ;)
+Alex Kersten Drove an Aston. It's a bit like an MX-5, but more powerful. And less rusty. MR
Car Throttle Turbo I thought Alex got Phil rust-repaired.
Alex Kersten You missed out on quite a bit. Special edition DB9. Hello.
Micheal Kelso does car reviews? Nice!
Real shame about the turbos in the next gen. Hope there is a naturally aspirated version somewhere along the line. Even if it is only brief
I just cried :(
The problem with turbochargers are the fact they add weight.
... and lag, and sound crappy in comparison to a good NA.
RIP
No offense but this guy cant do these kind of reviews, Alex is needed.
This really made me kinda sad :(
I am James Bond
The only thing I don't like about the Aston-Martin DB-cars is all the plastic under the hood.
Have you ever looked under the hood of a DB9 ???
RcCadTeam Yes.
It's less plastic than there is on other AMs, but still quite some.
Less plastic? Have you seen under the bonnet of the VH series Vantage V8 and EVERY car prior? There's almost no plastic at all, everything is exposed. All pre-AMG engines Astons are like this. There are no big plastic covers on anything.
it's sad but, the car is kinda slow next to it's rivals
+100vasiliy Maybe because it never was designed to win the Vmax-battle.
It seems to be intended more for relaxed long-range travel than short high-speed runs.
***** bently dose it better
+100vasiliy yeah but it's just not an Aston... 3:39
+100vasiliy The Bentley is extremely heavy and vulgar. It's a footballer's car, not a Bond car. That's a difference, and one that matters.
+verzekeringsadviseur Your username XD
Well done for totally missing the point with this car. You want fastest? Go elsewhere 🤣🤣

Being in your position, I suggest it would be better to do some research before presenting the information, else it would be misleading on people who rely on you for accurate information.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Martin_V12_engine
The engine is NOT two Ford Duratec V6s welded together.
