Aston Martin DB7

The Aston Martin DB7 is a Gran Turismo, which was produced by Aston Martin from autumn 1994 to the end of 2004. The whole model range is Aston Martin.

This sample was generally available in coupe and cabriolet bodywork. The first sample was prepared by the end of 1992 and was officially presented at the Geneva Motor Show in the spring of 1993. In the following decade of car production was produced about 7,000 models of this car, before it was replaced by his elder brother – Aston Martin DB9.

Like many other cars in this class, it is designed for a couple of adults and a couple of children. Aston Martin DB7 was produced mostly with Jaguar money and was supported by Ford Motor. The platform itself is the formation of the Jaguar XJS, albeit with most of the changes.

The DB7 brand managed to win a great success – just a year later, following its debut, the statistics on sales of this car went up steadily. Since 1993-2003, more than 7,000 cars have been sold, of which just over half, or rather 4100, were sold under the name DB7 Vantage. There are also other models Aston Martin Vantage.

Exterior

Paying attention to the appearance of the Englishman, you can see on the roof a couple of longitudinal waves, which are very expressive. Most of the parts used in the car are unique or original. The roof together with the doors and luggage compartment lid is made of strong steel, but the hood was made of aluminum.

The length of the car is 4.48 meters, the wheelbase is 2.53 m. The weight of the Aston Martin DB7 coupe is 1740 kg, which is a reduction compared to its younger brother, Vantage. Speaking about the DB7 Zagato, we can mention that it is a shortened version by exactly 60 mm and it used a full body made of aluminum, which has similarity with the DB7 model itself.

This can be seen by looking at the front lighting of the car, made in the form of an oval, small air intakes, located behind the arch of the front wheels with a chrome diaphragm, the contour of the radiator grille, grown in size, as well as the volume of wheel arches, the back. Some roughness and “muscles” of the body were saved.

Wheels were not left without attention, and before us there are restyled 18-inch cast disks made by Zagato. The lid of the luggage compartment can be slightly surprised, because it is vertical and stays in the end of the rear section, leaning back like a board of a pickup truck. Aston Martin DB7 coupe and convertible are painted in accustomed green color, which is typical for British sports cars.

Interior

The pleasant feeling after the appearance of Aston Martin is not forgotten inside the car. As for the interior, everything is as good as ever. Inside, no matter who is a passenger or a driver, he will definitely feel all the luxury and comfort of driving on the road.
