Aston Martin DBR9 anyone?

For sale with Oakfields in the UK.

Only $1,426,238.

http://www.classicdriver.com/uk/find...facturer=10005



















This car was built and delivered in october 2005, and has only one hour of private running since its supply.

The price includes a spares package comprising of a new and unused 2nd engine, wheels, tyres, body panels and other mostley new spare parts."Aston Martin Racing" unveiled the DBR9 in late 2004 to mark there return to International GT racing at Sebring and Le Mans in 2005.

The name DBR9 is derived from the original Le Mans-winning DBR1 car which not only won the 24 Hour race in 1959 but the World Sport scar title too.

Only 12 works cars were produced along with a small number of cars for selected private collections and racing all were individually numbered.

Based on the DB9 it has an alloy chassis and full carbon body excepting of the roof panel. The race engine uses the alloy 6.0 block and head but the rest is highly modified and produces in the order of 600Hp.

Double wishbone suspension configuration is retained on the DBR9, but features up rated components and a revised geometry for racing purposes. Formula One style carbon brakes are fitted front and rear and a competition, six-speed sequential gearbox is mounted at the rear axle.

The wheels have also been specially designed for the car by OZ Racing and are made from forged magnesium. In the cockpit, a carbon composite dashboard, lightweight racing seat and the driver’s instrument panels, have replaced all the original car’s trim.

Styled by Aston Martin Racing’s own design team extensive use of Computational Fluid Dynamics has been used to optimise the aerodynamics before producing the final body shape,to complete the aero package the under side of the car is flat from the front to the rear diffuser.

The panels are hand made carbon-fibre composite, ensuring the car meets its 1,100 kg minimum weight, power to weight ratio is 550 bhp per tonne - more than double that of the road car.

The result is a GT racing car with outstanding performance but with the beauty and integrity of an Aston Martin.

Totally absurd price. For last year's race car. Period. Moreover, one with less than awe-inspiring results. Still, I wouldn't mind one on the trailer.

WOW... That thing looks WILD!! I love it!

But I also agree that the price is really steep...


I have also seen it before on Classic Driver; I frequently browse the website.

Thanks for sharing.
