just wondering if anyone has any new info on when this car is supposed to come out. i heard that they are going to produce it but i dunno when or what kinda specs. personally i think this is one of the most beautifully designed cars AM has come out with, it is very close to the DB9 and vanquish but there are slight details that just make everything work exceptionaly well. also wanted some of your opinions on it.

Yeh I very like it. For info, there is always Aston-Martin's official website: http://www.astonmartin.com/db9_intro_base.html
Sorry I don't know when it will be availlable in store...(I didn't look for it a lot)

yea like i hadnt seen any HP figures for it i suppose it will be around the low 400s like 430hp or so.

Beautiful car. IN fact, all the recent Astons are. ONe for the wish list.

this car is beautiful...the best Aston design ever....I could easly see myself getting this over a 360...

....that'd be hard....in fact I wrote to Road and Track about this and they posted it on the magazine...I can't rememeber the issue...

Henrik Fisker (designer of the GORGEOUS Z8) is doing wonders at Aston, and with Ian Callum not far from reach, it's no wonder they're producing such sexy cars.

You needn't look further than the DB9 and the AMV8 to know that Aston is back with a vengeance! Thank you Ford for pouring money into this (Wolfgang Reitzle, not that idiot Bill III or whatever). They stunned us with the Vanquish (that NOISE - i get shivers down my spine just thinking of it), and soon we'll be blessed with these two.

The AM V8, as I understand it, will be the 'entry-level' car whereas the DB9 will cater to a more 'exclusive' crowd. Expect the DB9 to come well into Vanquish territory (even with the uprated engine).

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!

their is a difference

the AMV8 was a the DB9's concept..

As I said before, This is the best AM I have ever seen. Debuting on top 5 list of best looking cars with the Lambo Murcielago IMO! Love it more than I ever could love a woman! AMV8 will come out though not as DB9 but as a separate car. It should compete against lambos and ferraris from what I heard. It was shown in one of the motor shows. Forgot the name of the show, but it is coming out next year supposedly! Can't wait. This is one car i'd love to have even if I am 67years old. Just owning it before dying would be great!

no...the AMV8 is a totally different car...itÂ´ll be the entry level Aston competing against Modenas, Gallardos and such...

Erez · 04-20-2004, 09:27 PM

thats what the DB9 is.. isn't it? how sure are you of what you are saying? (cause i'm not 100% sure.. but i could check cia AM media site if you want..?)

bobafett · 04-20-2004, 09:34 PM

The AMv8 and the DB9 are two completely different cars.
