If you care for a little history, here’s some. Goggle is really not that difficult to use. http://www.astonmartins.com/feltham/index.html

I agree with Bush, if you know your rally history you’d know that Aston Martin’s competition in rallies dates back to around the 1940’s when the had the 15/98 competing in Scotish rallies.

It appears that most of you are under the age of ten and have no sence of automotive history. Before you give knee jerk responces I suggest you do some research before you open your “mouths”. Aston has a history of racing and rally. There are far too many dimwits on this site.

Is it just me or does this sound wrong on a number of levels? Before this article, I didn’t even know you could use Aston and Rally in the same sentence.

For one, it could strengthen their rather “fragile” reputation. By having things break in a rally, they can pin-point the weaknesses of their vehicle and improve on that. This could translate to sturdier, more reliable cars for their customers. It’s a win-win situation.

911’s also have all-wheel-drive, so do they add that to this beefed up/stripped down DBR9, or does it stay rear?

That “lipstick” look is classic Aston racing.

the 911’s if you see them look pretty darn high, and beefy.

Doing it’s thing. Looks like roads mostly, not getting too much in the dirt.
