This platform, now known as VH architecture was used for a host of cars from 2003 till 2019. The&nbsp;DB9&nbsp;was undoubtedly the star of the 2003 Frankfurt Motor show where it was unveiled to the public for the very first time and it was the first to be built on the VH platform. The stunning body was designed by Ian Callum and is still considered by many the best looking car of all time. Production of the coupe started in early in 2004, with the&nbsp;DB9 Volante&nbsp;starting a year later.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#block-wrap-69166\" rel=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Overview<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"#block-wrap-27233\" rel=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Model &amp; Variant List<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"#block-wrap-38340\" rel=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Models In-Depth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"#block-wrap-81353\" rel=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">Image Gallery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"#block-wrap-80739\" rel=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">More Updates<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2003-2012-DB9-16.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Aston Martin DB9 Models &amp; Derivatives<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">The DB9 enjoyed a long and successful production run,&nbsp;ending in 2016 after being succeeded by the DB11. Over its production life, there were essentially two generations, one built on the VHI platform and then the second on the VHIII platform. Several special edition cars were created, including the DB9 GT, a more affordable and performance-oriented option with slightly less power and simpler specifications. The DB9 AMR was a high-performance variant with increased power,&nbsp;sharper handling,&nbsp;and sportier aesthetics, while the DB9 Volante was the totally expected convertible version of the DB9,&nbsp;offering the same performance and luxury with the added pleasure of open-air driving.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aston Martin DB9 2004 &#8211; 2016 In early 2000, the core plan for Aston Martin was development of a totally new and unique bonded and riveted aluminum platform which could easily be be made in differing lengths for different cars in the range.
