Chassis #: DBR9/9
Development of the Aston Martin DBR9 began in mid-2004 and was the result of a partnership between Aston Martin and Banbury, England-based Prodrive. It was based on the DB9 road car and made its public debut in November of that year. The aluminum/composite chassis/tub of the DB9 was modified to incorporate a Prodrive-designed rear sub-frame and a high-strength multi-tubular frame/roll cage, over which the body panels, all formed in carbon fiber composite, bar an aluminum roof, were fitted. The rear and side windows were formed in polycarbonate. The suspension was comprised of double wishbones and coil springs at all four corners, which were suitably stiffened and lowered. Braking was provided by 13-inch ventilated, carbon-ceramic Brembo discs at all four corners, with six-pot calipers residing behind 18-inch OZ forged magnesium wheels. The front wheels measured 12.5-inches while the rear size was 13 inches. Aerodynamic modifications included an additional air intake and front spoiler/splitter at the front, a flat floor and a high wing and diffuser at the rear. The DB9's 5,935cc quad-camshaft V-12, all-alloy engine was modified to produce 625 horsepower. It was given a six-speed sequential Xtrac transaxle.
In comparison to the DB9, the DBR9 weighed 610 kg less, with an overall weight of 1,100kg - the minimum allowed in GT1. The basic cost was £450,000 plus taxes. In June 2005, the DBR9 was joined by the £175,000 (plus taxes) DBRS9, a similar machine but less complex than the DBR9, aimed at privateers in international GT events. The DBRS9 had the same substructure, chassis, roll cage, body panels, suspension and brakes as the DBR9. Differences included the H-pattern, six-speed manual transaxle, a 550 horsepower engine and weighed 1,280 kg.
The Works cars were chassis numbers DBR9/1 through DBR/10. Customer cars were DBR9/101 onwards. For 2006 and 2007 there were two officially Works-backed teams, Larbre Competition and BMS Scuderia Italia. The Larbre Competition team contested the LeMans Endurance Series while the BMS Scuderia Italia contested the FIA GT Championship. The AMR itself concentrated mainly on the Le Mans 24 Hours, along with selected international events.
The owner took possession of the car in 2008, and also received the original chassis. Since that time, it has remained unused in his collection, apart from a bi-annual startup and check-over by AMR BMS.
