The Aston Martin DB9: A Legend Reborn
Launched in 2004, the Aston Martin DB9 marked a turning point in the history of the British manufacturer. This grand tourer embodies the renaissance of Aston Martin under the aegis of Ford, which had acquired the brand in 1994. The design, penned by Henrik Fisker, draws inspiration from the iconic DB4 GT Zagato while introducing striking modernity.
Technically, the DB9 is based on the VH (Vertical Horizontal) platform, a revolutionary aluminum architecture that would be shared with other models in the range. Its 6.0-liter V12 develops 450 horsepower, propelling this British beauty from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. The DB9 stands out for its perfect balance between sporty performance and grand touring comfort.
Sold for twelve years, the DB9 achieved a remarkable commercial success with over 16,000 units produced. It restores prestige to Aston Martin and lays the aesthetic foundations of the entire modern range of the manufacturer.
Aston Martin: The Art of British Grand Touring
In the early 2000s, Aston Martin was going through a pivotal period. Under Ford ownership since 1994, the brand benefited from massive investments to develop a new generation of vehicles. The DB9 inaugurates this modern era, succeeding the DB7 in a context of technical and stylistic rebirth.
Founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, Aston Martin has forged a legendary reputation by combining sporting performance with British refinement. From victories at the Le Mans 24 Hours in the 1950s to appearances in James Bond films, the brand embodies British automotive excellence. This tradition continues with the DB9, which modernizes the legacy while preserving the unique DNA of Aston Martin, characterized by sleek lines and a handcrafted approach to automotive construction.
James Bond and the Aston Martin DB9: A Complex Relationship
Unlike its predecessors, the Aston Martin DB9 has never been the main car of James Bond in the official films. This absence may be surprising, as Agent 007 and Aston Martin seem inseparable since Goldfinger in 1964. However, the DB9 makes a brief appearance in "Casino Royale" (2006), but it is the DBS that becomes Daniel Craig's primary vehicle.
This situation can be explained by the narrative and technical constraints of modern productions. The DB9, considered too "civilized" for the spectacular stunts demanded by contemporary films, makes way for newer models. Nevertheless, it perfectly embodies the Bond spirit in real life: elegance, performance, and British prestige.
Paradoxically, this cinematic discretion enhances its status as a "true" enthusiast’s car. Far from Hollywood gadgets, the DB9 impresses with its intrinsic qualities: a melodious V12, a refined cabin, and authentic performance. It represents the everyday Aston Martin for those who can afford it, a grand tourer capable of covering miles with royal comfort.
This Aston Martin DB9 green miniature rightly captures this discreet yet prestigious essence. It evokes journeys through British country roads, far from the hustle and bustle of movie sets, where the DB9 reveals its true accomplished grand touring personality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
