Svelte as it still looks, the DB9 is getting a little long in the proverbial tooth – Aston Martin first launched the 2+2 way back in 2004. As such, it's high time the British purveyor of luxury GTs gear up to roll out a new model, and this is the best look we've had at it yet.

Spied virtually undisguised while undergoing winter testing in the snow, the new DB9 (or whatever AML opts to call it) carries all the trademark elements of a contemporary Aston Martin design. The grille appears to be a little smaller and the rear fenders pack a more pronounced curve. Expect the new V12 GT to arrive sometime next year.

I like the lines. I have always admired AM for the gorgeous lines of the car as well as the amazing sound of the motors, but their V8 and V12 are under powered and their cars, although very fast, are never class leading. They make exclusive GT cars. They are not real sports cars or exotics even though they sell for exotic car prices
