Suarez™ Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 DB9 GT: Aston’s venerable sports car is now appended with the GT suffix, as well as 30 more horsepower (for 540 total) and new wheels and headlights. Perhaps more important is a new infotainment system, which replaces a unit antiquated enough that it was quite possibly powered by vacuum tubes. A British car whose name invokes the god of fire isn’t so much tempting fate as showing up on her doorstep with flowers, chocolates, and two tickets to the opera. Thankfully, the racetracks to which the not-road-legal Vulcan is confined will have emergency crews. A 7.0-liter, 800-plus-hp V-12 goes into a carbon-fiber monocoque to make one very-hot-blooded machine. Aston plans to sell only 24 of these $2.3 million toys, with deliveries commencing by the end of the year.
