A Touchtronic manual mode permits gear changes using paddles behind the steering wheel. The ZF six-speed-automatic transmission uses buttons to select Drive, Park, Neutral and Reverse.

Aston Martin says the windshield pillars can withstand twice the car’s body weight. Sensors can detect a potential rollover and deploy twin roll-hoops. The Volante’s fabric top folds underneath a hard tonneau cover that sits flush with the bodywork. “Swan wing” doors rise at a 12-degree angle for easier access. The DB9’s rear haunches are wide and curvaceous, and its profile features a prominent trunk.

Additional cabin stowage is provided, along with coat hooks. The console controls are revised for 2006. In addition to the coupe, a Volante convertible is also offered. The DB9 was the first car to be hand-built at a new state-of-the-art facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, England. Aston Martin says the manual-shift DB9 can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. Either a conventional six-speed-manual gearbox or a button-controlled six-speed automatic can be installed. The DB9 is powered by a 6.0-liter V-12 engine that generates 450 horsepower. The proceeds from the charity will go to the Vista Center for the Blind & Visually Impaired.On sale since fall 2004, the Aston Martin DB9 superseded the long-lived DB7 Vantage. On the outside, the exterior features an Ashen Blonde metallic paintjob and comes with ten-spoke diamond-turned wheels in satin champagne and Howlite stone-inlaid logos. The bespoke car features saddle tan leather with diamond-quilted ivory Alcantara trim, light burlwood veneer, specially-embroidered horse-head logos and saddle-style luggage fitted to the rear console.
This Aston Martin DB9 was commissioned by a dealership in Los Gatos, CA and the Q division gave it a special equestrian theme. Dedicated to meeting the specific needs of individual customers who want their luxury GT crafted just so, Q by Aston Martin has unveiled a unique DB9 Volante featuring horse-riding cues which has been designed exclusively for charity auction at next week’s Menlo Charity Horse Show in Los Gatos, California. In March this year, we saw Aston Martin show off personalized Vanquish Volante and V12 Vantage S by Q at the Geneva Motor Show and now the bespoke division has come up with another beauty. Over the two years of its existence, we’ve seen quite a few beautifully crafted bespoke Aston Martins personalized by the Q division at auto shows around the world.
