The name DBR9 is derived from the original Le Mans-winning DBR1 car, which not only won the 24 Hour race in 1959 but the World Sportscar title too...
The DBR9 uses the DB9 road car’s aluminium chassis. The V12 engine’s cylinder block and heads are used for engine unit development.
The gearbox of DBR9 is a 6-speed sequential unit. Double wishbone suspension is purpose-built and there are large diameter carbon brakes in the front and rear of the car. Wheels have been specially designed by OZ Racing and are made from forged magnesium.
The aerodynamic package of the car has been developed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Combined with the desire to follow the same lines as the DB9 road car, this has helped define the overall body shape. All the panels have been specifically hand crafted to fit the DBR9, and, to save weight, are all manufactured in carbon fibre composite (except the roof). The large rear wing is also made from carbon fibre, while to complete the aero package, the under side of the car is flat from the front to the rear diffuser.
