NEW ERA
22 FORD MOTOR COMPANY
The elegant Aston Martin DB9 Volante —
the sixth new car from Aston Martin in less
than two and a half years — premiered at
the 2004 North American International
Auto Show, joining a prestigious lineup
of convertibles that stretches back to the
DB2 of 1950. Aston Martin sold only 42
cars in 1994, the year that Ford Motor
Company became sole owner. The new
DB9’s projected volume is 2,000 units,
and the first year’s production is already
sold out. The V-12 DB9, the first car to be
handmade at Aston Martin’s new state-of-
the-art facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire,
UK, features a radical new aluminum-
bonded body frame, making it one of
the most sophisticated and technically
advanced sports cars in the world.
