DB9 Replacement ?

[Hobo]

I've heard rumours of a DB9 replacement at Geneva (this year?) & am wondering if anyone has any further info or has seen any 'pictures' ?

Not a replacement but some facelifting I believe!

It is the 09 car.

Extra 20bhp (470)
Revised DBS-a-like interior
Fewer slats on the grille
Revised suspension settings
Alpine stereo with iPod connection
Volantes have more rigid chassis

Cars built after April 08 will have these enhancements.

Please, please, PLEASE, someone tell me they've improved the brakes!

I'd say a complete replacement for the DB9 is slightly early. The DB7 lasted 10 years from 1993 to 2003, but then it was a bit long in the tooth 5 years into that. I expect the 4 year old DB9 has a few years left in it, maybe the new one might go by the name DB9 Vantage, or perhaps we will get some 600 bhp beast of a DB9 sometime in the next couple of years to justify the Vantage badge, I certainly hope so.

So when the replacement does come out should we expect computer geeks to already have their personalised numberplates DB10...

Isn't that what the DBS is (though well shy of the magic 600bhp mark)?
