About the Aston Martin DB9 Volante Red Solido 1:18

TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Aston Martin DB9 Volante in Red reproduces the open-top version of the grand tourer that launched Aston Martin's modern VH platform in the mid-2000s. Diecast construction suits its long bonnet and flowing bodywork, appealing to collectors of 2000s British grand tourers.

The DB9 marked a genuine turning point for Aston Martin, the car that introduced the aluminium VH architecture underpinning the brand's entire model range for the following decade.

Diecast Presence on a Long Grand Tourer Body

The DB9's stretched bonnet and sweeping rear haunches give Solido's diecast construction plenty of flowing surface to render, and Red paint shows the bodywork's subtle character lines clearly across those long, uninterrupted panels. Zinc alloy construction carries genuine weight in hand, and doors open onto a cabin styled to reflect the DB9's grand touring character. The Volante's folded soft top sits neatly behind the seats, completing the open-top profile without a working roof mechanism, and panel gaps sit within expectations for diecast tooling of this model's production era rather than signalling any real shortcoming.

The Car That Introduced the VH Platform

The DB9 launched Aston Martin's aluminium VH, Vertical/Horizontal, architecture, a platform that would go on to underpin nearly every Aston Martin model for more than a decade afterward, making the DB9 far more significant to the brand's history than its elegant styling alone suggests. The Volante convertible extended that platform's flexibility to open-top form without compromising the coupe's proportions. For a collector tracking Aston Martin's modern era, this DB9 Volante marks the genuine starting point of a platform strategy that shaped the brand well beyond this single model.
