Sleek and elegant, the Aston Martin DB7 possesses the heart and soul of the British sports car in a way that even 007 himself would admire. A fusion of both the classic configuration with modern design and engineering, the DB7 is a best-of-both-worlds blend in a distinguished, roadster package. The DB7 takes the British sports car’s straight 6-cylinder engine and builds on that with a rugged block and bottom end, 4-valve cylinder head, twin cams and a supercharger.
Output is a robust 355 horsepower at 5,500 RPM, which put 0-60 MPH times at fewer than 6 seconds, and the inline 6’s torque rating of 368 lb-ft at 3,000 RPM, a renowned characteristic of this type of engine, translated to excellent off-the-line acceleration and nimble maneuvering through traffic. Call it a high fun-to-drive quotient. Transmission is the 4-speed automatic. Wheels are big 18-inch 14-spoke aluminum-alloy rims with responsive, short-sidewall radial tires.
The interior proves to be unmistakably elegant like only the British can do, with delightful leather bucket seats, big, easy-to-read gauges and spectacular woodwork in the dash and console that has become a signature element of luxury British sports cars. Power windows are part of the package, as is a powerful Alpine stereo. A big, comfortable, leather-wrapped steering wheel puts control at your fingertips. The Volante designation is Aston Martin’s term for a convertible, and it literally means “flying.” It seems to be an appropriate name for the DB7. Finished appropriately in Solent Silver, this Aston Martin is certainly precious metal.
Even the unfamiliar understand that this car is something special. Cutting a figure that would make even a Hollywood starlet stare and a chassis that delivers a huge enthusiast’s experience, The Aston Martin DB7 is a rare automobile that delivers on the sports-car promise, one that does the Aston Martin legend justice.
