22k-Mile 2011 Aston Martin DB9 Volante

Description

Unveiled in 2004 and refined through the years, the 2011 Aston Martin DB9 Volante epitomizes open-air grand touring. As the convertible version of the DB9 coupe, it combines timeless design with advanced engineering. Its power-operated fabric roof retracts in just 17 seconds, offering a seamless transition to open-top motoring. Fittingly named Volante — Italian for “flying” — the experience is one of effortless freedom and sophistication. Safety is integral to the design, with reinforced A-pillars and deployable rollover bars that protect the car without disrupting the graceful lines. The 2011 model benefits from continuous refinement, delivering improved ride quality, sharper handling, and enhanced interior comfort. 

Built at Aston Martin’s cutting-edge Gaydon facility in Warwickshire, UK, the DB9 was the first to use the brand’s VH (Vertical/Horizontal) architecture. This bonded aluminum chassis, inspired by aerospace technology, ensures exceptional rigidity and lightness — key to the DB9’s dynamic performance. 

Under the hood lies a hand-built 5.9-liter V12 producing 470 horsepower, paired with a six-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission. It accelerates from 0–60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. 

With limited production, the DB9 Volante remains a rare and desirable grand tourer, where elegance meets exhilarating performance.

 Ownership History 

The accompanying CARFAX Vehicle History Report places this five-owner 2011 Aston Martin DB9 Volante in southern California from new. It was sold on 6 December 2010 through Land Rover of Newport Beach. The consignor states, “The car was ordered with the cigarette lighter delete, so I improvised a James Bond set of operational buttons (all non-functional of course but handy for pointing out the Passenger Eject button to anyone who wants to fiddle with the radio controls). I also included an Aston Martin ‘Goodie Bag’ that contains a manual door lock key (only available through a licensed A/M Dealer from the A/M Factory — takes 4 weeks to get here from the UK and is chrome plated with the Aston Martin Logo engraved for $502.43), a spare Aston Martin DB9 Oil Filter, and an Aston Martin DB9 programmed Foxwell Code Reader that reads Power Train Fault Codes from one OBD Scanning Port, and all the electrical and body systems from a second OBD Scanning Port. This allows the owner to pre-diagnose fault codes to determine the problem before simply replacing a part or taking the car to the dealer for repair.”
