Default Aston Martin DBRS 9 (roadgoing DBS)

While the recently-unveiled Aston Martin DBS will be unique to the forthcoming "Casino Royale" James Bond film, a nearly identical car will be sold to the general public under the 'DBRS 9' moniker, according to Hans G. Lehmann. What's more, the basic design of the DBS will form the basis for the next-generation DB9, according to the super spy photographer. The "RS" variant will have a wider track, lower ground clearance, and bold scoops and air intakes up front. According to rumours, the V12 engine's performance was boosted from 450 hp to more than 500 hp for the DBRS 9

Sexy as hell, and finally enough power to back up the looks and price. Hopefully they carry over the manual transmission from the Bond DBS, at least as an option.

Hey isn't the DBRS9 the GT3 race car oh well. Car does look good but 500bhp just doesn't seem to be enough these days for a 6L V12. You have smaller displacment V10 making more. I think they shoud just put the V12 engine from the DBR9 into it.
