The first car to be built in Aston Martin’s new factory at Gaydon in Warwickshire was the 2+2 DB9, a direct successor to DB7. The new car was considered to be such an advance on the old that Aston Martin had decided a straightforward sequential numbering would be considered inappropriate, hence why it was not titled DB8.
DB9 launched to acclaim in 2003 at the Frankfurt Motor Show with a Volante following in 2004. Powered by a V12 engine, this was also the first Aston Martin to be developed on the VH (Vertical / Horizontal) Platform which underpinned all Gaydon produced cars.
