Just noticed the DB9 sports pack uses the same (or suspiciously similar) alloys as the BMW M6.

But that was just cosmetic changes. Also, I am just guessing that it was a little over the cost of the Sports Pack


...well it did have a Vanquish S exhaust...


Vanquish tailpipes.

The article does actually state "...the rear valance has been completely restyled to accomodate an exuberantly vocal exhaust system from the Vanquish..."

In reply to Dr S (June 25th), my esteemed colleague at EVO, Richard Meaden did say that he drove the car down the motorway (M4) to South Wales.

This motorway and the fast, sweeping roads in South Wales are much better surfaced than my local country roads in mid-Sussex and the Brighton area where I tested the car. In fact, they are more similar to the smooth roads in Germany, hence my comments. I can only speak as I find.

In fact, after much badgering from the UK press, recent Audi cars like the RS4 have also had development miles put on in the UK and benefitted tremedously as a result. On the recent new TT launch, I gave an Audi chassis engineer a list of badly surfaced Sussex roads to include in their test regime!

That Mansory website has to be seen to be believed.

Typical conversation with customer:

"Hello Mansory, how can we help you?"

"Ah, yes I have more money than sense and no taste whatsoever and am struggling to know what to blow my cash on. I have a perfectly nice [Aston Martin]/[Bentley] any chance you could make it look like a pile of old plastic crap by sticking some cheap looking bodykit on it and some hideous oversized alloys and charging me a gazillion pounds to do so?"

"Of course sir, you have come to the right place."
