2013 Aston Martin DB9 Spy shots

These are the first shots of the 2013 Aston Martin DB9 super tourer. Caught in competitive testing with Ferrari's 599 and Mercedes-Benz's SLS AMG, it's clear Aston is taking the competition head-on.


While much of the car is obscured by camouflage, new lights like those found on the Rapide and Virage can be seen. The side profile gains a new line what appers to be more deeply recessed depressions in the door panel, slightly sharper creases over the rear fenders, and new side skirts to match the lower, more aggressive front spoiler and rear trunk lid lip. The rear end looks to be a bit wider and taller than the current DB9.


Up front, a mesh grille replaces the multi-bar unit found on the current DB9, though that may come down to the fact that this is a prototype and not yet fully prepped. Other minor details include relocated, mesh-grilled hood vents and side mirrors that stand farther away from the doors, mounted on thinner, more-aerodynamic stalks.
