Aston Martin DB9 replacement spotted?
Mercedes are not the only company to take to the Nurburgring this week, another vehicle surrounded by mystery has also been a big talking point from British manufacturer Aston Martin. A new model in Black has been spied flying around the world famous track and is believed to be the new replacement for the DB9. This news has not been confirmed and the company are refusing to speak on the new model for now. If this is the DB9 replacement, we can confirm that the new model would be running on a longer wheelbase than its predecessor. With shorter side skirts also being one of the big changes made to the car. The model that was spied testing has been confirmed to be carrying a V12 engine but there has been some speculation that a new V8 engine could make its way to the DB9 replacement. For now Aston are remaining quiet on the spied model but judging by how finished the car looked on the track, there is a chance that we may see this vehicle make a grand debut perhaps later on this year. More on this story as and when we have it.
