The Aston Martin DB6 is a grand tourer that Aston Martin made from September 1965 to January 1971 as the successor to the DB5. It was introduced at the 1965 London Motor Show and was the first model engineered after the factory moved from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Wind tunnel testing was used to cut aerodynamic lift, which led to a rear lip spoiler and an abbreviated Kammback tail, and the wheelbase was lengthened by 3.75 inches. It used the 4.0 litre twin-overhead-camshaft straight-six designed by Tadek Marek, with a Vantage option. A Mark II appeared in August 1969, the convertible Volante followed in 1966, and coachbuilders built a small number of shooting brake bodies.
