Aston Martin DB9 Volante

Aston Martin DB9 Volante

In hard-top form, the Ferrari Bianco white Project Kahn DB9 Aston Martin Volante is sublime, an irresistible mix of style, elegance, majesty, tradition, comfort and practicality that James Bond himself would be proud off, especially with the unique number plate attached!
Afzal Kahn insists the Aston Martin DB9 was not designed to be a boy’s toy. It was designed, says the principal British designer, “to be comfortable, elegant and a powerful long-distance vehicle.”
The chassis on which the Kahn Volante also takes much of the credit – It’s a mixture of extruded, stamped and die-cast aluminum, bonded together into an extremely light yet rigid superstructure. The shape, is beautifully proportioned and – unlike many convertible cars – looks the part whether the hood is up or down. The hood itself is a fully retractable soft top affair that folds down in 17 seconds, making it entirely possible to stow it when waiting at traffic lights without the risk of being embarrassingly caught half way through the process.

The Kahn Aston Martin Volante’s silky styling package consists of a Kahn Sports exhaust, Sports lowered suspension, red calipers and privacy glass. Of course on smooth roads all is well, a 6.0-litre V12 engine, six-speed ZF automatic with paddle shift, rear wheel drive, electrically-retracting soft-top, an entertainment system that can easily compete with the wind noise and, best of all, the delicacy and razor-sharp engineering ensures it’s certainly an interesting vehicle to drive.
The interior offers a sense of occasion unmatched at this point with beautifully finished dials, lustrous black leather in cream stitching, secondary hide in cream and pearl grey interior detailing. However, should you require an interior to match your exact specification, Afzal Kahn and his team will be more than happy to oblige.
Furthermore, our unique 20” RSV Kahn lightweight wheels, in matt pearl grey, exemplify what A. Kahn Design is all about: creating something that is both unique but refined enough to both complement and enhance each and every vehicle.

Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition

Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition

 When a vehicle is launched into the public through an intense car chase scene featuring no less than Agent 007 himself, James Bond, then it is almost a certainty that the vehicle will be racking up huge amounts of sales. This is exactly the case for the DBS line of cars by the car company Aston Martin, as they were first seen by the public in Casino Royale.

And since that famous chase scene that allowed the public to glimpse into the groundbreaking new line of cars by Aston Martin, the company has never looked back, releasing several other models, the latest of which is the 2012 Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition that is expected to follow on the heels of the high sales of previous models.
But more than being a mere addition to an already established line of cars, the Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition also has unique features of its own, the best of which is its unique exterior and interior design that is unprecedented. The silk-like finish of the vehicle was achieved through a painstaking process that involved seven layers of paint and 25 hours of polishing and finishing by hand, thus ensuring that the vehicle had undergone meticulous attention to detail.
Exterior & Interior
The wheels of the vehicle also exude luxury and grandeur, as they feature black diamond turned wheels. Other noticeable features of the DBS Carbon Edition include an imposing black grill, carbon-fiber mirror heads, smoked rear lights, and carbon rear lamp fill-ins that ensure that the prospective driver of the vehicle will still be able to see down dark paths and during intense weather conditions.

Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition

And finally, the regal air that is exuded by the vehicle's exterior is, of course, sustained by its interior, as it is made from the finest materials that are guaranteed to provide comfort to its drivers and passengers.
The 2012 Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition is certainly more than a mere addition to the well-loved line of Aston Martins.

Like the DB4GT Zagato that it is paying tribute to, the design of this car exudes both grace and power.

Ugur Sahin Aston Martin Gauntlet Concept

Ugur Sahin Aston Martin Gauntlet Concept

 By definition, the word “gauntlet” refers to the convergence of two parallel tracks in a narrow place. The Aston Martin Gauntlet takes this definition to a whole new level. Car designer Ugur Sahin has succeeded in overlapping and complementing the past and the future with the classic silhouette that the brand is known for and a futuristic design. In a nutshell, it is like the offspring of the One-77 and DB AR1 then giving it an extreme, total makeover.

A gauntlet is also an armored glove. The Aston Martin Gauntlet would make you feel as if you were wearing a complete set of armor, ready for battle. The overall design of the car is truly intimidating.

Since this is a concept car, there is no available information on specifications yet. But some features worth taking note of include the organic headlights, the high front and rear fenders, and double exhausts with a honeycomb part above the diffuser.

The doors of Aston Martin are carefully crafted such that it exudes a sporting appearance. The muscular rear haunches and the low roof line add to its sporting stance. The wing mirrors are positioned such that the driver will have a maximum visibility on what was on its back. A Bluetooth microphone that is revised is situated on top of the driver’s head so that the voice of the driver is very clear when conversing with his passengers.

The Competition
This supercar can be matched with luxury sedans like the Porsche Panamera, Jaguar XJ, and BMW 7-Series. If compared with the Panamera, Rapide is much better since Panamera is offered with either a V6 or V8 engine that can provide the power of 300 to 500bhp. While Jaguar XJ has a 5.0L V8 engine that generates a 385 hp to 510 hp power. The power generated by the engine used in a BMW 7-Series ranges from 245 hp to 407 hp. Though all of the cars are commendable rivals, Aston Martin Rapide has this feel that it is unique and dominant. The price itself describes the capability of this sedan car.
