Initialele DB provin de la numele proprietarului Aston Martin , David Brown pentru o parte semnificativă a istoriei sale. The DB9, which was designed by Ian Callum and finished by his successor, Henrik Fisker , superseded the now-discontinued Aston Martin DB7 (also by Callum) which started production in 1994. DB9, care a fost proiectat de Ian Callum şi terminat de către succesorul său, Henrik Fisker , înlocuit acum întrerupt Aston Martin DB7 (de asemenea, prin Callum), care a început producţia în 1994.Aston Martin DB9 vine în două variante, coupe şi "Volante" convertibile , fiecare produce 470 CP (350 kW, 477 CP) dintr-un V12 5.9L motor, iniţial luat din masina sora sa V12 Vanquish . In fact, this V12 engine is why Aston Martin did not call the car the DB8, which could suggest that it has only a V8 engine . One report states that Aston Martin believed that this car was such a huge leap from the Jaguar XJ-S based DB7 that it named it DB9 instead of DB8, which they thought would indicate a gradual evolution. The Gaydon facility's production capacity for the DB9 could allow for approximately five thousand units per year, which is roughly the same production volume as other esteemed sports cars, in particular the Ferrari F430 and Porsche 911 Turbo . De fapt, acest motor V12 este motivul pentru Aston Martin nu a numi masina DB8, care ar putea sugera că are doar un motor V8 .
