The Aston Martin DB9 has pipped the Bugatti Veyron and Audi R8 to be named the nation’s ‘ultimate dream car.’

The £110,000 DB9 came top in the poll of more than 3,000 motorists.

There was more success for Aston Martin with the Vanquish and Vantage coming third and fifth respectively.

The world’s ultimate supercar, the Bugatti Veyron came second, with the 187mph Audi R8 coming fourth.

The list also includes the Mercedes McLaren SLR, Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti and Lamborghini Gallardo.
