Já quase me esquecia q a Aston ia lançar uma versão do v8 vantage comemorativa da participação nas 24 horas de Le Mans, estará à venda nos proximos tempos.
Aston Martin Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez, said: "By finishing in the top 25 with a standard production Vantage at the Nürburgring, we showed the true capabilities of the car. The race marked a real achievement for both the car and the team – and to celebrate this we wanted to make the car available to customers who are motorsport enthusiasts wanting to participate in amateur racing. With our dedicated production and engine facilities we have greater flexibility than ever before, allowing us to consider small, special production runs – such as this project. One of the virtues of our company is the ability to react to what customers want and, as we demonstrate here, offer the ultimate in personalisation."

O DB9 tem tb um pack especial lançado não há muito tempo denomido de Sports Pack com novas jantes e melhorias na suspensão, melhorando assim a dinâmica do carro.
With the DB9 Sports Pack, each five-spoke light alloy wheel gives an unsprung weight saving of more than 1kg, with a small but significant additional saving from the use of titanium wheel nuts. In total, that equates to more than five per cent reduction in unsprung weight on each corner of the car. The new, lighter 19-inch wheels are the same size as the standard wheel and use the same Bridgestone tyre.
The DB9 Sports Pack’s spring rates are increased by 68 per cent at the front of the car and 64 per cent at the rear. The front anti-roll bar is modified, and the dampers are revised to support the new spring and anti-roll bar characteristics. Together, the changes optimise body control and front-end grip without compromising ride quality or adding weight. The ride height is reduced by 6mm, lowering the car’s centre of gravity and further reducing body roll while leaving ample ground clearance and backed up by modified bump stops.
The composite undertray is also replaced, by a load-bearing aluminium panel that performs the same function in managing underbody airflow while adding further structural stiffness, to resist larger lateral loads fed into the front of the car by the uprated front springs and anti-roll bar.
