What is the quirkiest feature or design element of the DB9?
The "emotional control unit" (ECU) - aka the key. This is the crystal-like thing you slot into the dash to start the car. Totally unnecessary, but so cool.
On the left side of the driver's seat there is the handbrake. It takes a bit of getting used to, but after that it is quite ergonomic.
How the doors open slightly upwards at an angle. It's called "swan wing" doors. It’s not quite gullwing, but it is unique and helps to add to the sense of occasion.
The gear selector buttons on the dash. P, R, N, D in a line. So different from a traditional shifter and very spaceship like.
The tiny rear windshield. From the outside, it looks great, but reversing is... interesting. Thank goodness for parking sensors!
How the tachometer needle goes counterclockwise. It’s small, but it always catches the passengers’ eyes.
The pop-up navigation screen. The nav system itself is a bit dated, but it’s cool how it rises from the dash.
Little plaque in the engine bay with people who built the engine signatures. It’s a nice personal touch, and reminds you that it is hand built car.
The ability to get the brake calipers in wild colors from the factory. I have seen yellow, bright yellow, and even pink. It is a fun way to customize the car.
How the headliner is stitched. You don’t notice this intricate pattern at first, but once you do, you can’t help but admire it.
