2016 Aston Martin DB9 Volante

The 2016 Aston Martin DB9 Volante represents the final year of production for a model that defined Aston Martin's grand touring credentials for over a decade. Powered by the 5.9-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 510 bhp and 606 lb-ft of torque through a Touchtronic II automatic gearbox, it delivers a 183 mph top speed and the kind of unhurried, layered performance the DB9 was built around. At 17,723 miles from new, this is a genuinely low-mileage example for a ten-year-old car — the mileage suggesting careful, occasional use rather than daily driving.

The factory options list adds real specification interest beyond the standard car. Externally, the Exterior Carbon Pack, carbon wing mirrors, and 20-inch satin black diamond-turned alloys with black brake calipers give it a more purposeful stance. Inside, the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system replaces the standard Aston Martin fit, while heated front seats with memory function, auto-dimming mirrors, and a reversing camera round out a well-considered specification.

As the Volante, this is the soft-top variant — rarer than the coupe and arguably the more evocative way to use the V12. Being a late 2016 car, it benefits from all accumulated platform refinements and Euro 5 engine calibration introduced in the final years of DB9 production before the model was replaced by the DBS Superleggera.
