The last nine Aston Martin DB9s are now ready for final inspection.



It's been 13 long years since the Aston Martin DB9 debuted and the automaker just finished
producing the last nine models. Aston tweeted "farewell to an icon" and posted pictures of the final DB9s.

Just like the DB9 in 2003, the upcoming DB11 is expected to be a fresh start for Aston thanks to a new 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 and a modern platform. While the DB9's VH underpinnings will live on in the Rapide andVanquish, the sports car was a huge success for Aston and arguably kept the company afloat during rough times. According to Left-Lane, Aston sold 8,701 DB9s from 2004 to 2015 in Europe alone. With its sales numbers and large following, it shouldn't come as a surprise to hear that Aston is hard at work ensuring the DB11 be a hit.
