The 2013 Aston Martin DB9 received new updates to fulfill the European regulations regarding pollution norms and safety features. The DB9 has received a major facelift in 2013 and ended the brief career of the Aston Martin Virage. The facelift was almost the same vehicle, but only on the outside and only at a first look. At a deeper look, new details and features were installed to make the car faster, more fuel-efficient, and more stylish. For the 2013 model, the DB9 received a bigger grille, new LED daytime running lights, and a light bar on the fenders on top of the side vents. The bi-xenon headlights were fitted as standard. In the rear, the taillights have received a white and clear glass on the lower side. The diffuser was enhanced as well, to accomplish the styling of the Gran tourer. Inside, there were four seats available even though most probably only the front seats might be used properly. The center console featured aluminum and piano-black surfaces. The infotainment screen was retractable under a lid flush to the upper part of the console. Under the hood, there was a new AM11 V12 engine that featured a revised block and new head, including dual variable valve timing. A new adaptive suspension was fitted for better cornering speed. Last, but not least, the carbo-ceramic brakes were added to the list.
