Production[]
Aston Martin Lagonda Limited s a British manufacturer of luxury sports cars and grand tourers. Founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford; Aston Martin became associated with luxury grand touring cars in the 1950s and 1960s.
One of the most famous movie cars is the Aston Martin DB5 driven by Sean Connery as James Bond in the 1964 film Goldfinger. Fifty years later, Deckard Shaw drives the latest incarnation of the DB line. The DB9 has a 450 HP, 6.0 Liter V12 engine with a top speed of 186 mph.
Inconsistencies[]
The car was used in Furious 7 with the intention of making it appear to be a 2014 model. However this was not true and in fact it was a 2005 model. In an interview, Dennis McCarthy stated that "We faked the Aston, but the styling and shape of the car has stayed the same so most people wouldn't know it's not a 2014 model." A further inconsistency is that Deckard is seen manually shifting the car however the DB9 did not come with a manual transmission. Dennis McCarthy stated that "a manual transmission to me is just cooler, so we had our own shifter for that".
