If you own and drive an Aston Martin, you’re basically following in the footsteps of the most popular superspy, James Bond. The link between this British automaker and the fictional British superspy is historic, and continues to this day. Never mind the irony of a spy using one of the most prominent cars around, or the fact that originally Bond was a Bentley man in Ian Fleming’s novels. Either way, you can channel your inner Bond with this 2007 Aston Martin DB9 Volante that’s for sale, this open-topped Aston is the way to smooth and suave driving nirvana – with that V12 under the hood!

Exterior and Interior
Bond’s Astons have nearly always been silver, and this 2007 Aston Martin DB9 Volante plays that image to perfection. The car is a stunner with its black powered convertible top, piercing projector headlamps, and silver multi-spoke alloy wheels shod in high-performance tires. You certainly won’t mistake it for anything else, with the iconic Aston Martin shields adorning it at the front and rear, if its distinctive shape isn’t enough of a calling card. The passenger cabin of this 2007 Aston Martin DB9 Volante can accommodate up to four adults, but the ones in the rear will need to be of smaller stature. You’ve got a superbly luxurious cabin here, with a premium sound system, leather upholstery, cruise control, powered and heated front seats, and Aston Martin’s signature gauge cluster with contra-rotating speedometer and tachometer needles. There’s also some wood trim, a multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters, sport pedals, and air conditioning. Everything you’d need for a lovely drive, be it to the shops or a blast down a back road.

Engine
The 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 that moves this 2007 Aston Martin DB9 Volante is a thing of beauty and awesomeness. It’s reportedly rated at 450hp and 420lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission drives the rear wheels, aided by traction and stability control. This is a car that can do 0-60 in 5 seconds and spear past 165mph with gusto if unfettered. Controlling it is entirely up to you, of course.
