Oxford's Aston Martin DB9 Coupé looks great both inside and
out and is presented in the best loved Aston Martin silver bodywork with
red interior and detailed instrument panel, red seats and grey carpet.
The exterior trim detail is silver/ black, even down to the authentic
silver spoked wire wheels, complete with red brake callipers and black
brake discs. The black front bumper is almost invisible, just like the
real thing The Aston Martin badge sits above the Aston’s distinctively
shaped black and chrome radiator grille. The registration is simply DB9,
reflecting the initials of Aston’s original owner David Brown!
In real life, the DB9 – classed as a grand tourer and designed by
Henrik Fisker– was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003 and
was produced right up until 2016. It was available as a 2+2 seat 2-door
coupé, as modelled by Oxford, or as a 2-door convertible. Made largely
of aluminium, it was the first model to be built at Aston Martin’s
Gaydon facility in Warwickshire. The DB9 came with a 6-speed automatic
or manual gearbox and the first introductions came with a 6-litre V12
engine.
Oxford's model is a replica of Aston Martin DB9 2013 upgrade. Bodywork
changes included enlarged recessed headlight clusters with bi-xenon
lights and LED daytime strips, a widened front splitter, updated grille
and side heat extractors. The LED rear lights now have clear lenses and
the car has a new rear spoiler with the boot lid. The engine was also
modified for the 2013 version of the DB9 with an increased horsepower of
503 hp, resulting in a top speed of 183 mph and an acceleration of 0-60
in 4.5 seconds. Internally, the excellence continues with walnut
dashboard and hand finished leather upholstery not to mention the latest
sound systems and essential gadgets for the modern – and extremely
affluent – owner.
