2011 Aston Martin DB9/DBS - Click above for high-res image gallery
A refreshed version of either the
Aston Martin DB9 or
DBS has been spotting working out at the Nurburgring, likely in preparation for a debut in
Paris this September. Up front the lower fascia has been reshaped with a single wider lower opening while a pair of DBS-style air extractors are added to the hood. Both of those point to a bump in output, likely in the range of 10-20 horsepower although it could be considerably more if
Aston Martin decides to add something like direct injection to the 6.0-liter V12.
Obviously, it's too early to speculate about gearbox changes, but since Aston Martin has indicated that it will be working with
Daimler on some future projects, we wouldn't be surprised to see the
SL63's multi-clutch-transmission supplant the hydraulically actuated manual.
At the back the DB9/DBS gets clear taillamp lenses, a taller lip spoiler and a big diffuser to help keep the rear wheels stuck to the pavement at elevated speeds. Undoubtedly, there will also be interior upgrades with some new woods and hides and perhaps a better telematics system of some sort.
