Aston Martin

DB9

£125,051 - £137,340

Purest class, and doubly delicious to those in the know for being the car that kick-started Aston's renaissance. A brawny, sexy GT with a V12 under the bonnet.

DB9 Volante

Could have suspension made from bamboo for all we care – all will be forgotten once you put the roof down and hear that 6.0-litre V12.

DBS

£175,891 - £188,304

In essence a tighter, harder, faster DB9, but in spirit much closer to the fantastically hairy-chested thrills of the old Vanquish S. Makes a Ferrari look naff. Exquisite.

Rapide

£149,995

Four-door, four-seater from Britain's best-known, Kuwaiti-owned supercar manufacturer. Arguably Aston's best car.

Vantage

£90,895 - £135,000

Teasingly accessible for an Aston, and a small step up from the dynamically superior but infinitely less cool Porsche 911. The devil on your shoulder says 'go on...'

Vantage Roadster

£98,995 - £110,700

You could argue that there’s a fraction more scuttle shake and imprecision than with the coupe. Or you could just look at it. The second option is the correct one.

Virage

£149,995 - £159,995

The Virage slots between the DB9 and the DBS, a kind of GT with hardcore performance. But what it's actually done is make those two a bit redundant now, because it's the perfect compromise.
