Aston
Martin DB9 GT Bond Edition
The
Aston Martin DB9 GT Bond Edition commemorates the upcoming release of Spectre,
the latest Bond film. Limited to 150 examples worldwide, it’s based on the
latest iteration of another long-running franchise, Aston’s DB9.
There
are no mechanical changes from the recently-introduced DB9 GT, but considering
that this model is already the most powerful production version of the DB9 so
far, that’s probably fine. The 6.0-liter V12 produces 540 horsepower and 457
pound-feet of torque, sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic
transmission.
That
allows the DB9 GT Bond Edition to escape from evil henchmen in a hurry. It can
do 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 183 mph.
