One of the most classically beautiful cars on the market. For 2009, the DB9 gets an modest engine upgrade, with the V-12 now putting out 470 horsepower and 443 lb.-ft. of torque. While nothing to sneeze at, those aren't mind-blowing figures in a car that weighs 3900 lb. You also have to consider that, at $183,800, the DB9's closest competitor is probably the Bentley Continental GT, a car that weighs over 5500 lb. (albeit with more power and torque). In any event, the DB9 isn't really about pure sporting performance, but rather elegant pace.
