Aston Martin is one of the strongest makers in the auto market. They are well notable for creating cars that contain speed, performance, and luxury combined into one perfect bundle. They have made lots of models – but none is more popular to us than the DB9.

This is a supercar that has been produced with many of the good things in mind and no holes blocked. It is no wonder that everyone endeavors to get their hands on one of these beauties. For the 2009 model year Aston Martin out performed themselves and managed to develop a supercar that was much better then the year earlier – if that is feasible.

The 2009 DB9 is offered as a convertible and a 2+2 coupe. The convertible was dubbed the Volante – which is interpreted as ‘flying’ in Italian. This is a perfect name for something that is outfitted with a tremendous measure of power. The wheels practically lift themselves from the street when you start to test its limits. Leastways they feel that way.

Each model are given a 6.0 liter V12 engine that has the ability to push out 470 horsepower and 443 pound feet of torque. Fused with this engine is a six speed manual or a six speed automatic. Both of these transmissions are settled at the rear transaxle to provide better weight dispersion and are made with paddle shifters.

The only way that you can have the right supercar is if you are able to to settle on how to embellish it yourself. Aston Martin lets you to pick out the color combinations that will fit your style. You can find the soft top for the Volante in seven unique colors that include leather.

Every models come standard with xenon headlamps, 19” allow wheels, navigation system, a full leather trim interior, Bluetooth connectivity, iPod interface, satellite radio, and a premium audio system that will out perform itself each time.

The 2009 Aston Martin DB9 is one of the best supercars on the market that has the ability to cover all the bases. It is no wonder that it has a price tag of over $100,000. But with this kind of luxury and power it is worth every penny.

In regard to the formation of the worlds first true luxury automaker, Rolls Royce, who received top billing, the businessman or the designer? Businessman Charles Rolls came first with second billing going to engineer Henry Royce.

Charles and Henry agreed that Rolls company would exclusively sell all vehicles made by Royce. Rolls Royce Motor Cars made its official debut in 1904 at the Paris Salon. Perhaps Royce Rolls sounded too much like a pun or a criticism than an appropriate nomenclature for a fledgling car manufacturer. Shortly thereafter Royce designed vehicles were ruling the roadways.

The first Rolls Royce made was a 10 horsepower, two cylinder vehicle with a top speed of 39 mph. By 1906 the automaker had a vehicle with three chassis styles and six cylinder inline engines capable of exceeding 50 mph.

The first Rolls Royce with an enclosed backseat, the Pullman by Barker, also was introduced at that time. Rolls Royce elevated its status to a producer of elite vehicles with the Silver Ghost in 1907. It was the first reliable and smooth riding manufactured. It set a world record for a non stop motor run, traveling an astonishing 14,371 miles.

The most popular body types of the most elite car of the era were the enclosed Barker cabriolet, the Barker Tourer, the Hooper Landaulet, and the London Edinburg. The fabled vehicle first gained notoriety when it was entered into the 1907 Scottish Reliability Run, winning the gold medal in its class for hill climbing and reliability.

Silver Ghosts were manufactured from 1907 to 1925. It is astonishing that the majority of the 6,000 Silver Ghosts built still run well today. Aside from Rolls Royce, how many automakers today would dare say their cars could be driven 100 years from now?

Rolls Royce has produced 25 Phantom Silvers to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Silver Ghost. The Phantom Silvers bespoke paint color is Metallic Ghost Silver. The interior of the limited edition comes in rose leaf or cream light leather. The RR logo is embroidered into both the piping and the headrests.

Eco friendly Santos Palisander rosewood is used throughout the cabin. The varied grain rosewood also is used for a presentation box that holds the key, two solid silver key fobs and a specially commissioned Conway Stewart fountain pen. The LCD screen for the navigational system is strategically concealed behind the clock in the dashboard to preserve the car’s classic decorum.

Beneath the hood of this refined vehicle is a fuel injected V12 engine with 48 valves that accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Its top speed is 149 mph. The sedan has a maintenance free six speed transmission and speed sensitive rack andpinion steering.

The Phantom Silver sets on 21 inch alloy wheels with chrome centers. The Spirit of Ecstasy, which has been the automakers traditional grille ornament since 1911, is solid silver. It is retractable for security purposes.

Rolls Royce produced automobiles and aero engines until 1971. Bleak financial circumstances forced the firm into receivership and the divisions became separate companies. The BMW Group has been the owner of the Rolls Royce line since 1998. While many other brands have strived and risen to attain recognition, Rolls Royce Motor Company possessed such panache from its inception.

The 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage N24 racecar was designed subsequently in 2005 as a stock car, and it has its foundations firmly on the critically acclaimed V8 Vantage road car. The car was named after the “Nürburgring 24-hour race”, which it has done very well in a couple of times, and it is one of the most exacting and assiduous racing circuits in the world. The N24 is only constructed toward European specifications, and it was given a multitude of alterations, upgrades, and changes to make it on the same plane as any other car in competitive racing. The car was only produced as a limited production vehicle, and only built by hand, which is the Aston Martin stamp of extensive fine craftsmanship.

The V8 Vantage N24’s entire interior has been outfitted for optimum racing design, as little is left within the interior of the car. Items removed are all typical interior adornments e.g. airbags, air condition, embellishments, and seats. The facia molding is kept and is adjusted into Alcantara, plus a “Recaro Pole Position” competition seat is added to the car, with a passenger seat as an option, and a quick release steering wheel is fitted with suede trimmings, which is added as standard. All the interior coverings including the doors are substituted for the new “Twintex” lightweight mouldings. Also the interior has an FIA certified, complete high strength, steel roll cage measuring 40 x 15mm.

The body of the N24 is made up of lightweight aluminum side stripes, and redone side sills with a visible carbon fibre rib. The N24 also has a tail safety latch with the hinges are being kept; a quick release hood; a Motorsport towing eye fastened onto the chassis; polycarbonated side and rear windows with a slide opening for the driver; and there are preparation openings for tapping plates which serves use of pneumatic jacks. The specifications of the body are a width of 1865mm (73.5in); a front track of 1580mm (62.2in); a rear track 1590mm (62.6in); a wheelbase of 2600mm (102.5in); a height of 1210mm (47.5in); a length of 4380mm (172.5in); and a weight of 1330kgs, 250kgs lighter than a normal car.

The N24’s engine is a 4.3 litre V8 has been changed to fortify throttle performance and replication by lightening and balancing the flywheel, the connecting rods, the pistons, and the crankshaft. The cylinder heads are redone by all the exhaust and inlet ports, which have been smoothed to advance the overall compression ratio. Also the engine regulator system was recalibrated for improved gas flow. The N24 also has a open flowing exhaust system with “ITG cylindrical foam air filters”, and a lightweight rear muffler minus any skirt valves. The V8 Vantage’s dry sump lubrication method is retained in order to assist with oil spillage while extreme cornering. The overall effect equated to a maximum horsepower of 410bhp (305kW) at 7500rpm, which is a 30bhp growth over the V8 Vantage, and a maximum torque of 425Nm (313lb-ft).

The transmission of the N24 is the traditional six speed manual, equipped with a “breather catch tank”, along with a “Valeo twin-plate cerametallic clutch” (215mm) with a lightweight flywheel, entirely to powertrain formula. The V8 Vantage’s highly polished suspension received minor changes for the N24’s track use e.g. bigger front and back anti roll bars; “Bilstein Suspensions flexible ride height aluminum dampers”; solitary rate, flat ground, 2.5in “ID Eibach” springs with separate aiding springs; and the front sub-frame being modernized for more castor and camber. The wheels include front and rear “Speedline 10 x 18in, ET45mm cast magnesium”, with “Yokohama A048-R” tyres, and “Pagid RS 29″ racing brake pads.

The 2006 V8 Vantage N24 is developed on Aston martin traditions, has proven itself time and time again as a factory manufactured car that ready to take on any race. The level of fine details on a racing car conforms to the typical standards set so long ago, and has set its on rules for racing while carrying on the “Vantage” name.

Don’t the cool guys seem to always pick some of the fastest and sleekest designed cars? Well, then it should be no surprise that James Bond will be sporting a serious and speedy vehicle, namely the 2009 Aston Martin DBS in the upcoming film “Quantum of Solace”.  The V12 exotic sports car has a 6.0 liter engine with an exquisite interior hand finished that is attractive to common and rich folk alike. The aerodynamic design makes it even better suited for espionage.

The Aston Martin DBS zooms from zero to sixty in just 4.2 seconds. Underneath the hood, it puts out up to 510 hp.  At only 3737 pounds of weight this exotic feline will hit the roads a blazing and top out at 191 mph according to reliable testing sources.

The 2009 DBS provides an optional six-speed automatic transaxle, 2+2 seats, 20-inch wheels and an audio by Bang & Olufsen. The design and layout is the same as the DB9 with a bit more sleekness. The body is made of aluminum and carbon fiber. One of the new colors for this model is aptly named Quantum Silver

For 2009, the Aston Martin DBS comes equipped with new vented carbon ceramic brake discs which are a first for an off-track Aston Martin. These are custom designed to align with the double wishbone alloy suspension that features damper control which utilizes two separate valves to set the damper for five different positions. This feature is an important trait if you want to possess instant adjustment of the car’s handling characteristics and out maneuver the thumbs up road warriors trying to beat you to the club or international airport.

Gentlemen, if you are considering getting one, not as a spy, what could possibly stop you when you can rent one first to get a feel of the superior handling and awesome design before using a fraction of available funds to acquire it for a cool $265,000.

After much deliberation I decided, or rather my partner decided, I had to sell my Aston Martin. It’s a beautiful car and it pains me to say goodbye to her, after all we had done many miles together, but with an expanding family, which includes the addition of two dogs, my pride and joy has to make room for a larger vehicle. I did suggest we buy a bus, but I was met with the ‘look,’ so I dismissed that idea even though I did fancy a double-decker like the one Cliff Richard drove around in the film ‘Summer Holiday.’

Last weekend I started to prepare my Aston Martin for the market by giving her a wash-and-brush up. I began with the outside of the car to wash away the road grime, remembering to clean the wheel arches, and the inner panel of the doors. The alloys were treated to an alloy wheel cleaner and looked ‘as new’ by the time I’d finished with them. I completed the clean with a polish and buffed my car to a mirror finish.

The next job was to clean the inside of my car. I vacuumed the seats and carpets and as a bonus found a few quid in loose change laying about the place. I polished the dashboard and other surfaces and by the time I’d finished I really didn’t want to sell my Aston Martin as she looked so good. But needs must.

The next step was to advertise my car for sale. In my first advertised draft, after I had listed the specifications, I added some flourishes: ‘safe driver, really good condition for age, one owner from new, absolutely no time wasters especially James Bond fans, first to see will buy.’ I was rather pleased with my extra touches as I felt I had personalised my advert. However when a friend of mine came round to my home and saw my penned draft, he burst out laughing. He said no one wanted to read an essay about my car, and why was I selling my Aston Martin in the newspaper when I could sell her directly to a prestige and specialist car buyer, and save myself a lot of hassle.

I was keen to hear more, and so was my partner as she wanted to sell my Aston Martin quickly so she could start to look for a bigger car. My friend spoke from his experience as he had sold his BMW a couple of years ago via a prestige and specialist car buyer. He had contacted the company by email and told them the make and model of his car, the age, mileage, the condition, and the service history. They contacted him and gave him a quote. He agreed the price, and then the finer details were discussed such as the log book etc. They said they would come and pick the car up from his place of work or from home. At the time, he lived outside Aberdeen and he wasn’t sure if the distance would put them off, however they said it wasn’t a problem as they travelled all over the United Kingdom to buy cars they were interested in. A date and time was arranged, and the transaction occurred quickly and smoothly. He was so impressed by the service he said he would contact them again when it was time to sell his Audi.

Even before he had finished telling me about his car selling experience, I was sold. I ripped up my advert and threw it away. I was going to sell my Aston Martin the easy way and contact a prestige and specialist car buyer.
