I'm sure they won't call it the DBRS 9 though.....surely just DBS?

There was talk of this costing £160,000. That's a massive jump over the standard DB9 at around £110k.

I guess if they limit production to 500 units, it may be worth the premium. Me? I'd stick to a DB9 with the Sports package.

What I really want to see is the next Vanquish. I don't mind that'll use the V/H platfrom from the DB9, but they really need to move the styling on, plus give it 550bhp+, if it's to compete with the Ferrari 599.

Spot on, amdb7. They can keep the name Vanquish though (always prefer cars to have names rather than numbers).

I want an uber-Aston. It still needs to be a front engined car, but with more extreme styling and a massively powerful, normally aspirated V12.

One of these made real (the DBS is nice, but has lost the extreme proportions of this sketch). Add bespoke headlights at the front and four round LED lamps at the rear.
