Today, downtown area. Clearly not a legit DB9-R, still cool though.

Pretty sure that's actually the V8 Vantage that was sold from the dealer here in Calgary a few weeks ago.

From the quick sighting I got, it looked like a non-legit DB9-R, what ever cool car.

Yea, kind of a cool car, but it is a V8 Vantage modded to look like a DB9-R. Was done at Aston in the auto mall.

I saw this on 17th today as well.

It's pretty cool and different from the other Astons you see in the city.

There is always one guy in a black Aston (not sure of the model) doing loser laps on 17th while always gunning it by patios and bars in mid day (Especially the Ship) and weaving in and out of traffic.

Heres the link to the build..

I wanted to do a fun project for our dealership. I had the DBR9 as my wallpaper for a few months so i decided to build one! (i do not own this car, i just built it)

Haha, me and this guy "played" a bit leaving the lights by Earls on Mcleode the other day. My NSX definitely could not keep up (but fared surprisingly well I thought, way closer than I thought)... the best thing about the car is the SOUND imo; sounds absolutely WICKED!

Looks pretty cool. Does he track it? If not, then I dunno about that ridiculous wing.

This will be on the track for sure as well as race the base next year.

Might as well do the full race car vinyl scheme now that you've started!

That seems kind of stupid to me...isn't that sort of like buying a small, fibre glass sports car and turning it into something it isn't like a Ferrari? Oh, hang on...

I dont like it at all, that wing absolutely KILLS its for me hahahah....if you want to capture the essence of the Le Mans car, and create a hommage of the race car by using the same colour scheme and a few other components thats cool...but when u throw a riced out wing on a Grand tourer it just looks plain silly

The only mod missing (http://carlashes.com/index.html) to go with that grill.

I actually like the neon vinyl/turquoise color combo, but I wouldn't be able to handle the wing. The pics you posted without the wing looked awesome.

Saw it at the Distinctive Collection yesterday getting serviced. It also says "Distinctive Collection" on the spoiler as well.

I was getting my battery changed from the fob of my continental gt
