Car and Motorcycle

The Aston Martin Vantage V12 S, the most aggressive version yet of the junior range. With plenty of other, more softly tuned versions in the line up, AM has gone to town on the V12 S to make it the most rip-snorting, thuggish car they could build. And they haven't done too bad a job.
Compared with the regular V12 Vantage, power is up 11 per cent to 565bhp, torque progresses nine per cent to 620Nm, leading directly to a lower 0-60mph time of 3.7seconds (4.2secs for the standard V12) and pushing the top speed to 205mph from 190mph. This is now the fastest Aston Martin you can buy.
The V12 S is around 20kg lighter than the Vantage coupe it replaces, almost all of which is thanks to the new, lighter Sportshift III gearbox. This seven-speed automated manual is the only gearbox available on the Coupe, the manual only sitting behind the engine in the V12 Roadster. Sportshift III boasts gear-swapping times of less than 70 milliseconds via the steering column-mounted paddles.
Three levels of adaptive damping are selectable by the driver: Normal, Sport, and Track. The biggest difference is between Normal and Sport, with Track just marginally stiffer. And the dynamic stability control has been recalibrated to make the most of this better chassis control - and the greater output of the drivetrain.
The third-gen carbon ceramic brakes now have the largest braking surface ever used on an Aston Martin, and the new 10-spoke wheels are 1kg lighter apiece than the standard V12 Vantage hoops. Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres, which are almost as sticky as an F1 tyre, just with a slightly better life expectancy, are fitted as standard.
Other than the new wheel design, other exterior cosmetic updates include optional black or titanium mesh front grilles, with CC100-alike painted struts if you desire, and new bonnet vents. Inside, it's all familiar Vantage fare, apart from the reworked lightweight seats and a mercifully more modest glass key fob.

After first details on a new $1.9 million supercar , Aston Martin has set up a special web page:
The One-77 will be Aston Martin’s showpiece as they move away from its former association with Ford. Details of the upcoming supercar include a carbon fiber chassis with a handcrafted aluminium body, a 7.0 liter V-12 engine, and the exclusivity of a production run limited to 77 cars

Recent Changes
For the previous model year, the DB9 received a thorough update that includes freshened styling, a slightly revised interior and a more powerful motor.

Overview
Although the basic look of the exterior, including its classic proportions and graceful stance, remained unchanged as part of the recent update, there are several fresh details that distinguish the latest DB9 from its predecessor. The headlights are more angular and swept-back than before, while the lower front fascia gets a streamlined single-intake design.

From the side, the DB9 looks more aerodynamic, though the profile remains the same as any modern Aston Martin GT. At the rear, an integrated spoiler improves aerodynamics. Some design details have made their way down from the company's One-77 flagship, like the five-vane front grille.

Underneath its hood, DB9 boasts the latest version of Aston Martin's proven 5.9-liter V12 engine. Essentially a detuned version of the Vanquish supercar's mill, the DB9's unit serves up 510 horsepower along with 457 lb-ft of torque. The zero-to-sixty mph sprint is achieved in the mid-four-second range, which is roughly a second behind the pace of some competing models.

The engine mates exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission that shifts smoothly but more slowly than the dual clutch boxes used by many of the DB9's rivals. Aston Martin recently eliminated the more sporting manual transmission option; those looking for a proper three-pedal gearbox will have to settle for either the V8 or V12 Vantage.

The DB9 continues to utilize Aston Martin's flexible and lightweight "Vertical/Horizontal" architecture, which is constructed from aluminum. The suspension was recently optimized for improved handling and includes an active damping system with Comfort and Sport modes. Even with the latter engaged, the ride remains compliant and there's more body roll than would be found in a true sports car. However, the handling is pleasantly responsive overall.

Inside, the DB9 is simply sumptuous, with soft leather, alloy trim and other high-quality materials covering nearly every surface. The tasteful dashboard layout hasn't changed much since the car's introduction, although the climate and entertainment system controls were recently redesigned for greater ease of use. A wide variety of different leather, wood and carbon fiber options can be specified, and color choices are also nearly infinite. There's plenty of room for the driver and passenger up front, but the rear seats are for extremely small children only.

Standard and Optional Features
Standard features include leather upholstery, a navigation system, a premium AM/FM/CD sound system with AUX and USB input jacks, heated front seats, front and rear parking sensors, Bluetooth connectivity, a trunk-mounted umbrella, xenon headlights and 19-inch alloy wheels.

Besides an available Bang & Olufsen surround-sound system, there's also a small galaxy of exterior and interior color schemes and interior trim options to choose from.

Occupant Safety
All Aston Martin DB9 models come standard with dual front, dual side and full-length side curtain airbags in addition to traction and stability control systems and electronic brakeforce distribution.
