DB9 Inside Story
 
An Elegant & Luxurious Cabin Hand-Trimmed in Natural Materia

DB9 is a luxurious sports car. It is supremely comfortable, with a cabin hand-trimmed in beautiful, natural materials - primarily wood and leather. There is the latest in modern technology, yet there are no superfluous controls or displays. There is a minimum of distraction. Even the satellite navigation screen motors seamlessly away when not in use.

Yet the car has very high equipment levels, as you would expect in a thoroughbred sports car with GT levels of comfort and refinement.

The cabin interior is handmade, from the cutting of the leather to the crafting of the wood. This is not done merely for 'traditional' reasons. It is done because a skilled craftsman can finish wood or leather better than any machine. The leather is particularly soft and supple, as you would expect of Aston Martin, and is used throughout the cabin.

Wood trims are inspired by quality, hand-finished furniture. There is a choice of three: walnut, mahogany and bamboo.

In every case, 'single piece' cuts are used, rather than tiny strips or thin appliqués. Crafting such large pieces of wood is only possible when done by hand.

The use of aluminium on the dashboard, in the instrument panel and for the door handles, reflects the widespread use of that beautiful and lightweight metal throughout the rest of the car. It is a stylish and contemporary metal, yet one steeped in automotive tradition. Even the starter button, the driver's first interaction with the V12 engine, is beautiful, made from clear glass.
