2016 Astonmartin DB9.Pdf POWER. BEAUTY. SOUL. DEFINITION OF AN ICON Contents 06 Introduction 08 Heritage 10 DB9 Story 16 Design 18 Craftsmanship 26 Performance 30 Technology 34 Colour & Trim 47 Specification 48 Q by Aston Martin 52 Aston Martin Life 4 5 THE NEW DB9 GT: THE ULTIMATE ITERATION The Aston Martin DB9 GT is the most elegant expression of a sports grand tourer. Its DNA echoes the iconic DB GT models of its lineage. Enhanced power and subtle new touches highlight its famously seductive styling, making the DB9 GT the ultimate incarnation of the DB9. It is the embodiment of faultless form and formidable function, the beating heart of Aston Martin. 6 7 BORN OF LEGENDS Endless quest for victory amid the dramatic twists and turns of motorsport. The pursuit of perfection, the passion to perform. Racing pulses through every fibre of Aston Martin, sealed by the legacy of the fabled Aston Martin DBR1, winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans and World Sports Car Championship in 1959. As the most focused and powerful DB9 to date, the new GT is the successor to this legacy. Born of legends, it has the same spirit of speed and desire for driving purity resonating within its core. 8 9 DB9: THE HEART OF ASTON MARTIN Inspirational from inception, iconic in realisation, and impressive in execution, the DB9 is the essence of Aston Martin. The inaugural production model of Aston Martin’s Gaydon headquarters in 2003, the DB9 is the foundation of the Aston Martin range, its ethos defining the craft and soul invested in each model. 10 11 UNLEASH THE ADVENTURE 12 13 INITIALS THAT INSPIRE PRIDE The famous ‘DB’ initials evoke the history and passion of Aston Martin. Over time, the revered moniker has been proudly associated with many of Aston Martin’s most cherished models. They carry with them a legacy of charisma and understated presence expected of the world’s most timeless sports grand tourers. The GT badge is reserved for the highest power iterations; an honour now bestowed upon the DB9 GT. The ultimate incarnation of DB9. 14 15 DESIGNED FOR THE JOURNEY From every angle, the DB9 GT is conceived to portray beauty. Exquisitely balanced, the flowing aerodynamics and muscular wheel arches create a purposeful stance, a subtle suggestion to the power that lies within. Visually arresting, dark accents across the sculpted body give a further hint to the sporting intent of the DB9 GT, a motif continued with the Black detailing in the headlamps and around the borders of the tail lamps. 16 17 CRAFTED IN TRADITION The expertly honed skill and scrupulous eye of master craftsmen; this is what sets Aston Martin apart. From sculpting clay models to forging the iconic Aston Martin wings badge, our team of experts ensure excellence at every step. Timeless crafts, and the intrinsic quality they bring, are the foundation, the soul that breathes life into the power and beauty of Aston Martin. 18 19 ELEGANTLY SOPHISTICATED, DANGEROUSLY SEDUCTIVE Fuelled by the exquisite design, an engraved GT fuel cap adds a tactile detail alluding to the prowess within. Step across the unique DB9 GT sill plaque and take your place in the GT-embossed, luxuriously fluted, micro perforated-leather seat, a design detail that harks back to the legendary DB models of old. Let instinct guide your grip of the impeccably finished steering wheel. Survey the meticulously crafted dials. Every journey becomes an adventure. The iconic Aston Martin grille and Gloss Black splitter charge forward, tamed air escaping the GT’s Black rear diffuser. Each mile covered, another moment to revel in. 20 21 UNSPOKEN QUALITY Beneath the sublime surface of the DB9 GT is an unparalleled attention to detail, steeped in a long history of hand-made luxury and bespoke craftsmanship. At Aston Martin, the beauty of the finished car is made possible only by the dedication to perfection applied at every stage of its creation. 22 23 EXQUISITE DETAILING Take your seat and feel the unspoken quality. Every precise cut of Bridge of Weir leather is used to indulge the perfectly appointed interior, meticulously checked by master upholsterers, who only sign the reverse of each piece once satisfied with its quality. The interior is stitched together with a labour- intensive technique needed to create pinstripe welts. More than 50 man-hours are spent on the paintwork of each DB9 GT to ensure Aston Martin’s world-renowned glass-like finish. Only through experiencing it for yourself do you feel the quality and sense the soul within each car. That is the Aston Martin way; the reassuring sensation that when you sit inside the DB9 GT you are part of something truly special. 24 25 THE SOUND OF INSPIRATION Launching with a thunderous overture from its 12 cylinders, the DB9 GT’s 540 brake horsepower engine will stir your soul. Explore the versatility of the 6.0-litre V12, a powerhouse capable of accelerating you to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. Be thrilled by the sensations of the all-alloy, quad-overhead-cam engine as you take on continents. Feel the power surge up to a top speed of 183 mph, the 457 lb ft of torque driving you forward. Make every journey a reward. 26 27 EXHILARATING PACE, EFFORTLESS GRACE An alloy chassis-enhancing torque tube houses the carbon propeller shaft that sends drive to the rear wheels through a rear mid-mounted Touchtronic II six-speed transmission. In this configuration the DB9 GT maintains a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Cutting-edge Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) brake discs sit within the 20-inch alloy wheels, each lighter than traditional metal discs by 12.5kg. Large six-piston and four-piston monobloc calipers, supplied by renowned braking specialists Brembo, ensure stopping performance is capable of harnessing the phenomenal power. Whether cruising across the continent or pushing the DB9 GT to the limits on the most challenging racetrack, the three-stage Adaptive Damping System (ADS) keeps you in control. With Normal, Sports and Track mode, the system tailors the suspension settings to your preference, making instant adjustments according to condition, road surface and speed. 28 29 INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, INTUITIVE TOUCH In the DB9 GT, traditional craft marries with latest technologies – a seamless blend of classic form and modern function. The cascading waterfall fascia flows towards you. Touch-sensitive controls respond haptically to your every command. Instinctive in its use, you are in command of the new AMi II infotainment system, which seamlessly brings audio, hands-free calling and vehicle status technologies to your fingertips. Opt for the Bang & Olufsen audio system, driven by 1000 watts of amplification through 15 optimally positioned speakers. Patented Acoustic Lens Technology (ALT) enables 180-degree horizontal dispersion of high-frequency sound, setting the stage for a concert of incredible clarity and rousing energy. 30 31 FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCT Choosing the DB9 GT is only the beginning. Aston Martin’s personalisation options help you to create a car to cherish, to define a style that you can call your own. Hand-built in the Aston Martin factory, almost every element of the DB9 GT is crafted in-house, an endless scope to find a combination to enthral. 32 33 PALETTE EXTERIOR PAINT 34 striking exteriors. pushes theboundariesofpainttocreatetruly The impactoftheirindividualtechnology pigments, xyrallicsandtintedclear-coats. including truepearls,tri-coats,chromaflair An intimatepaletteofspecialisttechnologies Special xyrallics blendtocreateastunningpalette. sleek andboldmetallics,pearleffects eye-catching andsubtlevisualeffects.Stylish, tocreate Paint technologyandtrendsmerge Contemporary palette rangesfromsolidsthroughtometallics.

    •2014• Vehicle Theft Prevention Quick Reference Guide FOR THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY FOREWORD The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is responsible for establishing and enforcing vehicle antitheft regulations. Motor vehicle theft is a growing problem that results in billions of dollars in losses every year. NHTSA has developed this annual guide to provide the law enforcement community with a concise reference tool to help identify passenger motor vehicles that have been exempted from the parts-marking requirements through model year 2014, and also to assist law enforcement in its prosecution and motor vehicle theft prevention efforts. This updated Vehicle Theft Prevention Quick Reference Guide for the Law Enforcement Community provides a quick- reference, comprehensive summary of the vehicles that have been installed with antitheft devices as standard equipment, identifying which vehicles are exempted from the parts-marking requirements, the type of exemption granted (partial or full), and the production years for which the exemptions apply.

The parts-marking requirements have been extended to include • all passenger cars, • all multipurpose passenger vehicles with gross vehicle weight ratings of 6,000 pounds or less, • all light-duty trucks with gross vehicle weight ratings of 6,000 pounds or less determined to be high-theft, and • all low-theft, light-duty trucks with gross vehicle weight ratings of 6,000 pounds or less having a majority of their major parts interchangeable with those of a passenger motor vehicle line subject to the theft prevention standard.
