German tuner Wheelsandmore has some ideas of its own for the Aston Martin DB9 convertible.

First up is a performance upgrade for the 6.0 liter V12 engine with 476 hp and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque that comes with the production version. Wheelsandmore boosts that by 60 hp while adding 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) of torque too. They've done so by tinkering with the ECU and adding a stainless-steel sport exhaust system with 200-cell sport catalysts and noise-volume valve control.

Suspension-lowering is part of the package with the DB9 sitting 25 mm lower.

The DB9 also gets a new body kit made of polyurethane along with side skirts, front and rear aprons and a rear lid spoiler. The convertible gets fitted with Kahn RS-V 20-inch wheels with Dunlop Sport Maxx performance tires - 255/35/20 for the front 9.0x20 rims and 285/30/20 for the 11.0×20 rear rims.

Prices are €5,999 for the wheel set, €9,000 for the body kit, €8,800 for the exhaust system, €3,400 for the ECU upgrade and €1,150 for the lowering springs.

this actually looks more stunning than the original. lol its cleaner, nicer looking, the rims are nice with that black powder coat, and the power got increased. what more can u ask for? all the tuners out there usually ruin the original with tacky over sized spoilers, body kits, and extreme engine boosts with radical colors on the outside. but yea... its all gooodd hahahha

I can agree with you on that. But all you seriously need is that power increasement. And maybe some khan rims. Yeah I know, hate what mansory does with the AMV for instance, not to mention the db9 mansory body kit.. it looks ridiculous.

The CEO is German (Dr Ulrich Bez), and this black concoction is made by a German tuning outfit. Best thing is it's understated, an odd word in a tuning company's dictionary, except the wheels which looks Ab Fab! British class meets German engineering. Auld Enemy? What Auld Enemy?
