Were there nothing else to say here, the DB9 Convertible would be as thrilling, rewarding, and just plain fun to drive

As for performance, the ancestry of Aston Martin’s high-performance past remains intact in this new model: large slotted disc brakes; a smooth, lightning-quick-shifting 6-speed transmission operated via paddles; and a 5.9-liter 450-bhp V-12 lend the DB9 brawn that more than matches the beauty.
