Aston Martin DB9
The reason the British automobile industry is no longer what it was in the 50s and 60s is surely doesn't include Aston Martin. After a stint under the auspices of Ford, the prestigious firm is now owned by Prodrive, an important English racecar performance tuner. The DB9 is fitted with a 470 horsepower 6,0-litre V12 engine. This impressive GT will bring you from 0 to 100 in less than 5,0 seconds. Of course, its price follows the figures!
