ASTON MARTIN
All eyes for the first time on a world stage on DB9 GT , unveiled in June (on the 24th, the same day of the Giulia) and so far only appeared fleetingly at the Goodwood Festival.

The car body is placed between the Q5 and Q7, then a kind of Q6 . Much of the credit for the extensive autonomy stems from the efficient aerodynamics: The drag coefficient of 0.25 is at the top for an SUV.
