The DB9 comes in two variants; coupé and "Volante" convertible, each producing 450 bhp (335 kW) coming from a 6.0L V12 engine taken from its sister car the V12 Vanquish. The Vanquish engine produces 10 bhp (7 kW) more. In fact, this V12 engine is why Aston Martin did not call the car the DB8, which could suggest that it has only eight cylinders.
