Aston Martin · 1950–1953
Aston Martin DB2
The Aston Martin DB2 is a grand tourer that was sold by Aston Martin from May 1950 until April 1953. The successor to the 2-Litre Sports model (retroactively referred to as the DB1), it had a comparatively advanced dual overhead cam 2.6 L Lagonda straight-six engine in place of the previous pushrod four-cylinder. It was available as a closed, 2-seater coupé which Aston Martin called a sports saloon, and later also as a drophead coupé, which accounted for a quarter of the model's total sales. The closed version had some success in racing.
