Aston Martin DBR9

The Aston Martin DBR9 is a GT1-class racing car built by Aston Martin Racing, which debuted in 2005 and raced in international sportscar racing until the GT1 category ended in 2011. It takes its name from the DBR1 that won Le Mans and the World Sportscar title in 1959. The car is based on the DB9 road car and keeps its chassis, engine block and cylinder heads, while the rest is re-engineered for competition, with carbon fibre body panels except for the roof, a flat underbody, a rear diffuser and a carbon rear wing. Its V12 develops about 625 horsepower with air restrictors fitted, and it is most famous for two LMGT1 class wins at the Le Mans 24 Hours, in 2007 and 2008.
