Although it shared visual cues with the DB5, the DB6 offered superior high-speed stability courtesy of its new Kamm tail, and greater interior space due to a wheelbase 3.7” longer than its predecessor. The four-seater hand-finished aluminium panels and sheet-steel platform chassis contributed to a claimed weight of 1,474kg, only 8kg more than a DB5. All-round coil-sprung suspension was employed on the DB6 as were four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Its power until was well proven, with the Tadek Marek-designed, 3,995cc twin-cam straight-six which was quoted as developing 282bhp and 280lb/t of torque in standard tune. Available transmissions consisted of a ZF five-speed manual or Borg Warner automatic.
