Aston Martin DB7
The Aston Martin DB7 is a car that was produced by British luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin from September 1994 to December 2004.
It was designed by Ian Callum and Keith Helfet as a grand tourer in coupé and convertible bodystyles. The prototype was complete by November 1992 and debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1993.
The six-cylinder DB7 (based on the Jaguar AJ6 engine) was positioned as an “entry-level”
model below the hand-built V8 Virage introduced a few years earlier.
This model was the most-produced Aston Martin automobile up to that point in time, with more than 7,000 built before it was replaced by the DB9 in 2004.
The DB7’s platform is an evolution of the Jaguar XJS platform, though with many changes.
