The first quarter of 2011 saw India welcome the Aston Martin DB9 to much excitement. This maker of cars such as those driven by the ever-popular James Bond in the hit movie franchise has made a name for itself in the luxury car segment. The DB9 is a sports car that’s refined, powerful and extremely luxurious with its low lined body, front falling oval headlights, iconic front grille and powerful V12 engine. Incidentally, this is the same model that was showcased in the Bond flick, Casino Royale. Ian Cullum is the designer behind this beautiful piece of work which comes in two variants. The cabin is just what you would expect from a car of its status. Dual tone interiors reveal fine craftsmanship and the DB9 is as silent as it gets. What does fall short, however, is trunk space as bulky baggage can’t really be contained with ease.
