I think Aston Martins of the 2000s and early 2010s have aged so well partly because they defined the style that most car companies have tried to copy from ~2005-2020; swept aerodynamic lines with creases along them (as opposed to rounder, lumpier 90s cars) and a prominent, distinctively shaped front grille

Until just before I bought one, I had never heard of a Virage. While paging through the many DB-9 adverts in my quest for a DB9, I happened to come across an ad for a Virage. I became very inquisitive about it and discovered that there was only 126 Virage coupes exported to the USA. I immediately began a quest for one and 2 months later I was the proud owner of one. I love this beauty! I've owned Jags, Healys, Triumphs, Porsches, Maseratis, Corvettes and many more marques but this is my overall favorite car.

That leather slit in the centre console is great for holding a credit card and a parking garage ticket. It saves the inelegant moves necessary to extract your credit card from your wallet in your back pants pocket. No doubt it also gets used on the Continent for again keeping a credit card at the ready for paying autoroute tolls on the way to Cannes for the weekend. The car also has carbon discs which also differentiate the car from the DB9 of the same MY.

Prices today are around the same as the car cost back in the mid 1990's, which is crazy for such a rare and fast car. The V550 cost £177,000 at launch (around £440,000 in today's money).

Fun fact: Aston Martin technically didn't cancel the Virage after 2012. As the DB9 from 2003 was entering its 10th year in 2013 and the DBS was about to be dropped for the Vanquish, Aston Martin dropped the 'old' DB9 and renamed the Virage to DB9. You can see this from the updated styling which is identical to the Virage, and now that the DBS was gone they also upped the DB9's hp to 510. You could technically add the 2013+ DB9 numbers to Virage numbers, even though the amount of cars that were actually called Virage is scarse.

Hi Doug! I already said when you reviewed I think it was the DB9, I could never understand how people capable of manufacturing such a gorgeous designed car with the exquisite leather and stitching not to mention the upgraded B&O stereo (which actually is not that good really, a looker for sure but that would be it, the pop up tweeters can be a nightmare), were mediocre, sluggish and nasty enough to attach pieces of crap like the turning lights horrible stocks from the ford Escort ( I had one of those and I know for sure) or the Garmin atrocious foldable screen. After all these years I keep scratching my head in disbelief. I'm not sure but despite design and V12 engine I sure as hell would go for any 911 of the same year. Far way cheaper and 100 times better car in every sense. Thanks anyway for another great job. By the way, if you tell me the Aston Rapide sedan, I could be more convinced probably.

I always thought the Virage was a mistake by Aston. It was ment to sit between the DB9 and DBS but in 2012 someone at AM must have thought “yanno we brought the DB9 out in 2004 why don’t we just update it?” Then they realised what they ended up with was the Virage so that car no longer had any use. Just swap out the Virage badges for DB9.

Folk know about the Virage if they have an interest in cars, and in particular, Aston Martin. The Virage was basically the replacement for the DB9. The Virage initially sat in between the DB9 and the DBS, but Aston realised that there was really no need for 3 cars that were very similar in performance. So they dropped the DB9 and had the Virage and the DBS. Absolutely gorgeous looking cars

@arconcritter 4 ай бұрын

Sorry but that’s incorrect. The DB9 was in production until 2016. The Virage was only in protection for two model years, 2011-2012. It was meant to split the price gap as Doug mentioned but was quickly discontinued after effectively 1 year of production. The DB9 soldiered on for another 4 years.
