In an Audi R8 world of, 570Ss McLaren, Porsche 911 Turbo, Bentley Continental GT, Mercedes-AMG GT and S65 and even Jaguar F-Type R, it's easy to reject the DB9 as the final destination and inspire them. But there is a more elegant than the Bentley GT and S65, more refined than the F-type and less highly tensed than the Audi, Porsche and McLaren.
