Aston Martin DBRS9
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aston Martin DBRS9 is a racing car built by Prodrive for Aston Martin to be a cheaper alternative to the Aston Martin DBR9, both of which are based on the Aston Martin DB9.
While the DBR9 is meant to be for large teams participating in international motorsport, specifically in the FIA GT Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans, the DBRS9 is intended to be bought by smaller racing teams participating in smaller national GT series, like SPEED World Challenge and the FIA GT3 European Championship, as well as owners who wish to use it for track days.
The DBRS9 features several modifications to the standard DB9, including a full roll-cage, carbon fibre body panels in order to drop weight by 480kgs, as well as tuning to the 6.0L V12 engine to bring output up to 550hp.
The DBRS9 is open to customers through Aston Martin Racing and Prodrive at a price of approximately £175,000.
