Peak power for the V12 is 547 PS as mentioned and that comes at 6750 rpm. The big V12 also produces 620 Nm of torque at 5500 rpm. The engine is an all alloy, quad overhead cam unit with 48 valves and it is mounted to a rear mid Touchtronic II six-speed transmission. The transmission has a shift-by-wire control system.

The engine can push the DB9 GT to a top speed of 183 mph and the car can reach 62 mph from a standstill in 4.5 seconds. Aston also fits the car with an Adaptive Damping System. The car also gets an AMi II infotainment package and Bluetooth among other features.
