About this car
The 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante is a handcrafted 2-door convertible finished in the striking Aviemore Blu exterior with an Arctic/Caspi interior. Powered by a 5.9L V12 engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, this example shows just 14,400 miles and was specially ordered for a Hollywood celebrity, making it the only known DB9 Volante in this color combination in the country.
Every factory option is present, including a premium Linn audio system with 6-disc remote CD changer and MP3 playback, Bluetooth connectivity, and a navigation system with the North America disk. The power soft-top convertible roof features a glass rear window, while HID/Xenon headlights, headlight cleaners, and front fog lights enhance visibility. Additional equipment includes a vehicle theft recovery system, extra keys, original owner’s manual, Aston Martin umbrella, and battery conditioner.
Performance and handling are supported by a limited-slip rear differential, stability control, traction control, and independent double-wishbone suspension with stabilizer bars front and rear. The car rides on 19-inch performance tires with a tire-pressure monitoring system and ventilated disc brakes with ABS, braking assist, and electronic brakeforce distribution.

The Aston Martin DB9, introduced in 2004 as a successor to the DB7, was produced until 2016, marking it as a pivotal grand tourer in the brand’s modern lineup. Approximately 16,500 units were built across its production run, making it relatively rare compared to mass-produced luxury cars, which appeals to exotic car collectors seeking exclusivity. It was offered in both coupe and convertible (Volante) variants, with design input from Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker, reflecting Aston Martin’s signature elegance.
Powered by a 5.9-liter V12 engine, the DB9 initially delivered 450 horsepower, later upgraded to 510 horsepower in the 2013 refresh. It achieved 0-60 mph in around 4.6 seconds with a top speed of 183 mph. The car featured a lightweight aluminum chassis and a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, enhancing its appeal as a driver-focused exotic. Special editions, like the DB9 GT (2015-2016) with 540 horsepower, are particularly sought after. Values have stabilized in recent years, with well-maintained examples often ranging from $50,000 to $100,000, depending on condition and mileage, positioning the DB9 as a potential investment for collectors appreciating its blend of performance and timeless design.
