Prodrive DBR9 unveiled!

Prodrive has been developing a racing version of Aston Martin's db9 for some time and just unveiled it on november 4th at Aston Martin's headquarters. Scheduled to first race at the 12 hours of Sebring in March.

Can't wait to see it go up against Corvette along with the 550 (whatever is going on with Prodrive's ferraris I can't keep track).

I love Prodrive, What a gorgeous race car.

a very sexy and beastlly machine. i wish it was coming to the west coast
laguna seca and sears point.

Holy Crap! That is gorgeous. If that came anywhere in the US i would travel to see it.

It will. Motor Sport Mondial was at the release and stated the car will make it's first appearance at the 12hr of Sebring then move to Europe for LeMans and continue the rest of the ALMS series. Ex F1 british drivers Martin Brundle and Mark Blundell are at the wheel. Martin Brundle was suposed to race with Mark Blundell in the Bentley Speed 8 but was tied up with F1 race anouncing duties and had to back out.

NB Pictures now on line here (http://groups.msn.com/RacingEmotionImages) , Let me know what you think.

They look nice.

The Corvette in those pictures is a C5-R, not a new C6-R.
