Design

Good design, however, is not just about form; it is also about function.

An Aston Martin is by definition very fast, so it needs to be aerodynamically efficient. It must be superbly stable at high speed – even the exhaust silencer is aerodynamically shaped to help achieve this. The result is that the DB9 drives arrow-straight at high speed yet, like all great Aston Martins, it does so with supreme elegance and grace.
