The Aston Martin designers gave new 2011 sport car DB9 subtle enhancements in appearance including a new front bumper, new grille, a reshaped lower intake that now features a hexagonal mesh, new headlight bezels, re-styled sills, silver brake calipers, 20-spoke diamond turned alloy wheels and clear rear light lenses.

The latest package of improvements goes further than ever, highlighting the DB9�s qualities as a true sporting GT and underlining its role as the backbone car of our range.�
