Aston's other Frankfurt plans

Aston Martin’s Frankfurt Motor Show plans don’t end with the DBS. Auto Express has learned that the firm also looks set to reveal two race-inspired specials alongside the famed Bond car.

The newcomers are tipped to be roadgoing versions of the DB9 and the smaller V8-engined Vantage. Taking cues from the DB9RS and Vantage N24 respectively, both are aimed at the likes of the Porsche 911 GT3 and recently revealed Ferrari F430 Scuderia.
