Actually Aston Martin is not very light car if you’ll try to compare it with other similar cars you’ll see that Aston Martin DB9 with its weight of 1710 kg is not as lightweight as it could be. But there is other very important thing with makes me to believe that Aston Martin is very lightweight car – it’s an engine.

Aston Martin DB9 Volante – wind in your hair…

Most of drivers want to have a car with open roof. They even don’t matter what kind of type it will be: cabrio, targa or spyder version it only matters to feel freedom while driving.

Aston Martin DB9 price tag starts at about 140000 euro, but Aston Martin DB9 Volante has much bigger price that starts about from 170000 – 175000 euro. You can see that for 20000 euro extra money you can get the same Aston Martin DB9 but cabrio version, so is it worth to pay for it? I think that it worth this money, but for me actually the best choice is simply Aston Martin DB9 with manual gearbox.
