Virage 2nd Gen (2011 to 2012)

The Aston Martin Virage (2nd Gen) is an exceptionally rare grand tourer that occupied a fleeting position in the brand's lineup, produced globally between 2011 and 2012. Designed to bridge the gap between the DB9 and the more aggressive DBS, it utilised a 5.9-litre V12 engine producing 365kW and 570Nm of torque, paired with a rear-mounted six-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission. This generation is technically distinguished by its standard carbon-ceramic brakes and a revised version of the adaptive damping system, which offered a more refined ride than the contemporary DB9. In the Australian market, the Virage is a legitimate unicorn; with just over 1,000 units produced worldwide during its 18-month production run, local deliveries were extremely limited, with some estimates suggesting fewer than 50 examples reached Australian shores. The buyer pool consists of niche Aston Martin collectors who appreciate its understated "hidden gem" status and the fact that its sleek styling directly inspired the final evolution of the DB9. Desirability remains high for local examples due to their extreme scarcity and the high level of standard equipment, such as the sapphire glass "Emotional Control Unit" starter key and the 1000W Bang & Olufsen BeoSound system. Market value for Australian-delivered cars has remained resilient, as they are increasingly viewed as a more exclusive and modern-feeling alternative to the standard DB9, appealing to those who prioritise rarity and a sophisticated, all-around GT personality.
