Which DB9 years got a 5.9L 12-cyl engine
Every model year this engine was fitted to, newest first. The bar is how much of the family's VIN volume sits in that year — long bars are the years this engine was everywhere.
VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full DB9 report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The 5.9L 12-cyl DB9: common questions
Which DB9 years have the 5.9L 12-cyl?
2005–2016 — 8 model years in our VIN decode, across 16 factory configurations and 824 VINs.
What does a 5.9L 12-cyl DB9 cost?
$49,280 is the typical asking price across the 31 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.
What is the engine code, and does it matter?
AM04 — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
