Spy Shots: Aston Martin's gorgeous DBRS 9
Bond enthusiasts everywhere, rejoice -- the stunning Aston Martin DBRS 9 which stars alongside actor Daniel Craig in the next James Bond flick, Casino Royale, will be offered up to the general public. While it might not have the gadgetry and weaponry often seen on 007's four-wheeled fortresses, the car will be different from what's currently out there under the Aston Martin brand name: the vehicle will be wider and lower to the ground, front styling is more aggressive, and here's the best part -- Aston Martin's 450 hp V12 has been tuned to bring out over 500 hp.
Yummy.

There is no doubt that this is the best looking fixed roof coupe in the world! And if it were available as a convertible, it'd have that title too!
By the way, how is it that AM can churn out new models like this and the upcoming Rapide in 18 months or so and it takes the Jaguar folks 4 years, ie; the next S-type???

When Jaguar stole Astons Design chief, they should have taken the whole design department as well. Aston makes the most beautiful cars in the world that no one can afford.
The new XK is great, but they had to make it a hit or the whole line might have gotten scrapped (thus is looks like an Aston). I have serious doubts about the rest of the designs that i've seen thus far from Jaguar though. It seems as though they're going out of their way to not copy Aston, but if i was running the company, I'd make all my cars look like Aston Martin remixes.

You want pure sex? Let a girl know you drive a Toyota Prius and she'll fawn all over you. Girls dig guys that are smart enough to buy Toyotas.

I don't care how much faster or meaner it is. Connery would have picked the standard DB9 and it would NOT have been black.

The car is awesome for a 007 movie its the new bond Daniel Craig I have a problem with, he looks more like a 007 villain then bond himself.
Here is a picture of him, you be the judge:

Gorgeous. As a female I agree it is mouthwateringly sexy. Its also fast and powerful and gets my vote!
Anything that can make a man as rugged as Daniel Craig the object of millions of womens' desires has to be worth a second look!
We started out with just Ferraris but have expanded and cannot get enough of Astons, I love them and so do the clients.
Aston seems to be on an up at the moment.
