The driver's comments

The Aston Martin DB9 definitely stands out for its design and its captivating line. It is a shark, the front is aggressive and its line makes you think of “fast and light” aerodynamic.

I start the engine and drive the first lap. It is quite humid and the non-stiff setup makes my  Aston drive through Monza S-turns as if I was sticking to the ground.

I give gas and the amazing engine with 470 hp makes me hear its roaring sound. I get to the Paraolica, I break in a firm way and I can see the modulability of the break pedal. Unfortunately the gear shift is not that quick in shifting up and down, which makes it feel too much like a “street car” in Monza.

Great driving position and visibility from the inside, because they make the driver feel..like a real pilot.
