What the DB9 may lack in straight - line performance its V12 makes up for in aural delight, with not only with one of the most scintillating soundtracks of our time, but a reminder that organic, naturally - aspirated torque is still far more rewarding and satisfying to experience than the forced induced wham - bam thank you mam thrust of today's turbocharged engines.

Torquey, smooth and rev - happy, it blends linear, instant response with such aural delights that you can't help blipping the throttle on each downshift. (evo.co.uk)
