whats the difference between the dbr9 and the dbrs9

[The_Canuck]

I don't mean to sound rude but no it's not.

I don't belive Wouter has heard of the Speed GT world series.

[Wouter Melissen]

A DBRS9 is mildly modified version of the DB9. The DBR9 shares little else with the DB9 than the overall look and the engine block. Though one letter apart, they are distinctly different cars. It is incorrect to state a DBRS9 is a watered down version of the DBR9.

If I remember well, Jeremy didn't say that the DBRS9 was road legal, they test the DBR9 on the track and they didn't put the time on the board because "you can't buy it" = meaning it isn't road legal, but then James May said: " but you can buy this one if you have .....pounds", so I thought it was road legal, but with all the rollcage and racing tires...it is a bit cofusing, but i don't think that they said it was road legal, I'd have to find and watch the video again.

which one is the closest to the specs of the DBR9, the DBS or the DBRS9

Neither, both are close to the DB9.

Buying it and street leagal is different.

its one of them you can buy it for TRACK use

I think a few people have said this but one's the street legal version and the other is a racing car. I saw it on Top Gear.

Ok.
After a little research this is what i have come up with.
The DBRS9 shares a lot of components with the DB9 but is not road legal. It has a slightly tuned DB9 engine producing 20% more power. It uses the DB9 chassis but has a DBR9 rollcage to stiffen it up. It has had 450kg shaved off the weight with the help of carbon fiber and ally panels. The suspension is now fully adjustable and the ride height has been bought down.

I suppose if you had enough money, you could use either as a track day car.

I don't think the DBRS9 is "street legal" in standard trim, although with a few modifications it probably could be.

After all, the point of GT cars these days is that they are supposedly very close to road-going versions.

[acemotorsport]

but not to be road legal it sez on the fia gt3 site that this car is not road legal

Looking at the DBRS9 i think you would have to change a lot of the body panels to be road legal. I don't think the radius of some of the edges would pass an SVA test.

let me get in-between your conversation for a minute, so is the DBS road-legal?

Yes it is, but the DBS is a different car.
