Well, it's mostly plastic but it looks just fine for the ageing model.

A quick batch of some celebrities spotted in their mad whips found on various websites this weekend.

The original, sporter character of the Aston Martin DB9 is intensified with the "look-packet" of the German company Mansory. These german tuners know very well the cars that Aston Martin builds and therefore are able to attract even uninvolved people through the sporty design.

Inspired by the racing DBRS9, the newcomer follows the stripped-out N24 Vantage.Caught testing on the punishing Nürburgring race circuit in Germany, the car's bodykit has clearly been inspired by the track car, yet the GT remains fully road legal. At the front, there's a more aggressive bumper, while a new ground-hugging aerodynamic diffuser helps to improve the model's high-speed stability.

"A few weeks back I wrote an article for the Citizen about things I wanted to do before I die. One of my goals was, and is, to drive an Aston Martin. Justin Divaris, MD of Aston Martin SA, got in touch with me early the next week via email to thank me for my article (what!?) and offered me the opportunity to drive my dream car for a day. I quickly scanned the email again… “we will arrange for you to spend a day driving an Aston Martin!” Nope, wasn’t seeing things."
