That is quite a large picnic table on the boot. Car looks epic though, at the other end of the scale, i like the new Polo WRC car.

Shame the DBR9 has been retired but it did the compnay proud with outright GT victory at Le Mans. Fingers crossed the Vantage will do the same and it's still going to sound great!

be nice to see a Virage GT car. Wonder if Aston can beat Audi and Peugeot, they got battered this year and i dont think this years car was as nice as the 2009 and 2010 car.

That chassis design from the DB9 (including DBS and Virage) has been retired from top flight racing now so GT1 and GT2 will be V12 and V8 Vantages respectively. Not sure what the plan is for LMP1, Aston finished the season using their old V12 cars with MASSIVE restrictors on them so uncompetitive but at least able to finish races and comply with sponsorship requirements. The 6-cyl LMP1 car was a disaster, an embarassment

Virage would never race anyway, it's auto only by design! Shame, as I will never aspire to own one.

You would think the Vantage would be a better racer because of its size........
