2006 Aston Martin Aston Martin Guide Brochure
By 2006 the DB9 was delivering 450 horsepower from its 6.0-litre V12, while the newly introduced V8 Vantage offered a leaner 380 hp from a 4.3-litre unit—a deliberate engineering choice to create two distinct entry points. British buyers weighing these against Porsche 911s and Mercedes SL models found themselves choosing between grand touring refinement and sharper sporting int

By 1996, the DB7's 3.2-litre six-cylinder engine, good for 348 horsepower, had established itself as the modern face of the marque against rivals like the Jaguar XJ220 and Mercedes-Benz SL.

The four-seat Rapide had just matured through its first model cycle, provin
