Production dates: October 1965 - July 1969
Clearly derived from the DB4 through the DB5, the new model was announced at the London Motor Show in October 1965. The most noticeable styling changes on the DB6 were the Kamm tail rear spoiler, which improved high speed stability, the split front and rear bumpers; a redesigned oil cooler aperture in the front valance, a higher roof (136 cm) and longer wheelbase (258.5 cm), 9.5 cm more than the DB5, giving an overall length of 462 cm. The increase of space in the rear made the DB6 a more practical family proposition.
The DB6 was the first Aston Martin to carry the name Volante for the convertible version - which means ‘flying’ in Italian. The last thirty-seven DB5 chassis were used to build the short-chassis Volantes which were completed between October 1965 and October 1966.
