[Cotterik]

ok, presuming u guys have never seen this before, check this out.

Aston Martin, one of Britain's most prestigious sports car companies, will return to international motor sport during 2005 with the DBR9.

A new division called Aston Martin Racing has been created in a partnership with Prodrive, one of the world's leading motor sport and automotive technology specialists. Prodrive will be responsible for Aston Martin Racing's global operations and will play a pivotal role in the plans to see a competitive Aston Martin program return to the world sports car series.

The program will see Aston Martin DBR9s racing production-based GT sports car events around the world, including the Le Mans 24 Hours, which Aston Martin won in 1959.

Only one pic available,to me it looks more like a chop rather than the real thing, maybe its a concept design model thats not yet been physically produced

If its a repost, i apologise

[cuntukimushroom]

that picture is photochopped i think

[SPHFerrari]

yea he said it looks that way and i agree. maybe it is just an artists conception of what the DBR9 will look like.

[Karrmann]

that's just a tuned DB7

[Matra et Alpine]

Might be worth monitoring http://www.astonmartinracing.com/index.htm in the hope of any updates

No, the DB9 is a completely new car...

That picture is definately a photoshop.

It is this original press photo, but altered. I wouldn't expect to see 5 stud wheels and standard door mirrors on a race car.

guys, why the debate ?

if you go ot the link , you'll see the press release photo.

The only question NOW is, ..... is that a valid A-M site or is someone playing a great hoax. As advised, keep an eye on the web page and it might all become clear.
