2016 , 2017 Aston Martin DB9 V12 coupe, 540HP2016 Aston Martin DB9 GT through a picturesque county in England, and I’m hating life. England, it turns out, is an absolutely abhorrent place to drive. Aside from driving on the wrong side of the road, which is easy enough to adapt to, the streets in big cities are ridiculously congested, and the roads in little villages are ridiculously constricted. Country roads are clogged with slow-moving Ford Kas; the highways are littered with speed cameras and signs cluttered with incomprehensible verbiage. It’s no place to test a more powerful DB9.

I do what I can with the DB9 GT’s 5.9-liter V-12, which now produces 540 hp, an increase of 30 hp over the regular DB9. Whenever I think I have the chance to go flat-out, a small town springs up out of nowhere, the road tapers in, and a brightly painted truck gets disturbingly close to the Aston’s wide fenders.

I feel better if I turn my focus on where I’m sitting. Aston Martin cabins tend to be an odd combination of a fine leather tannery and discount electronics, but the DB9 GT rids itself of the cheap tech clutter and gets the clean, touch-sensitive infotainment system from the Vanquish. It has a Garmin-powered navigation system and luscious leather, most of it chocolate brown with caramel piping, covers everything from the perfectly bolstered seats to the headliner. One hand is on the Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel while the other turns the cold, metal volume button. An acoustic set by Kiwi band “Broods” cranks up crisply through the $8,450 Bang & Olufsen audio system. Who cares if I haven’t seen 60 mph in this supercar? #cars #auto #moto #4youautomanija
