Aston reveals race-derived road cars
07 September 2007 The V8 Vantage N400 is a road-going version of the car that competed in this year's Nürburgring 24-hour race. Its V8 produces 400bhp rather than the standard 380bhp, and the car also features lightweight wheels and uprated springs and dampers to improve handling. Inside, there's extra leather trim over that in the standard model. The N400 is available in black, silver and orange. The DB9 LM is another race-derived model, this time celebrating Aston Martin's GT1 class victory in the Le Mans 24 Hour race this year. Changes from the standard model are purely cosmetic. It is only available as a coupe with Touchtronic transmission and comes with the DB9 sports pack as standard. Features include silver paint, smoked chrome mesh grilles, red brake callipers and more interior leather. Prices will be confirmed at the Frankfurt motor show, but the DB9 is expected to sell for £124,000 and the V8 £92,000. |
