Purely a dream come true. This mean machine was show cased at the 2007 Melbourne Motor Show. I was lucky enough to get to see one from my own eyes. I was only equipped with my trusted Nokia N73 to get a picture of this car. But I believe no camera can capture the true beauty of it rather than seen it from your own eyes.Aston Martin DB9 is my all time favorite car. And it truly is a breath taker. I have visited there website and got this info of the car.
