The Aston Martin DB7, produced from 1994 to 1999, marked a significant departure for the iconic British marque. This was the first all-new Aston Martin model since the iconic DB5, and it was a bold statement of intent. The DB7 was designed to appeal to a wider audience, offering a more modern and luxurious experience than its predecessors. The sleek, aerodynamic bodywork was penned by Ian Callum, who later went on to lead design at Jaguar. Its flowing lines were a departure from the boxy shape of the DB5, but still retained a distinctly Aston Martin character. Underneath the skin, the DB7 shared its platform with the Jaguar XJS, but it was extensively modified to meet Aston Martin’s stringent standards. The DB7 was powered by a 3.2-liter straight-six engine, borrowed from the Jaguar XJS, but it was tuned to produce more power and torque. This engine was mated to a five-speed automatic transmission, although a six-speed manual gearbox was offered as an option later in production.
Despite being a relatively affordable Aston Martin for its time, the DB7 was still a luxurious and powerful car. The interior was crafted with high-quality materials, featuring leather upholstery, wood trim, and a host of modern amenities. It offered a comfortable and refined driving experience, with a smooth ride and plenty of power. Over the years, the DB7 was updated with various refinements, including a 3.6-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and improved suspension. The DB7 was a commercial success for Aston Martin, helping to revitalize the brand and pave the way for future models. It was a car that captured the imagination of enthusiasts, and its elegant styling and sporting performance made it a truly desirable machine. In 2002, the DB7 was replaced by the DB9, a more powerful and luxurious model, but the DB7 remains a cherished classic, representing a pivotal moment in the history of Aston Martin.
