Their first attempt at an Aston was this aggressive looking DB9 first shown at the Frankfurt IAA, September 2005. From what I can tell you from the press release, here are some of the modifications
- Unique front spoiler with larger cooling intakes for the engine and brakes
- Side skirts and a new real valance
- Mansory trademark double stacked exhaust tips
- Small rear boot lid spoiler
- New alloy vents on the bonnet
- Three piece alloy wheels – not shown on these press pictures
- Butterfly doors, a concept only available on this prototype
- Interior in light maple wood, carbonfibre and Alcantara
- A claimed 500bhp engine capable of delivering a top speed of 205mph
This particular example is I believe a concept to demonstrate the ability of the firm. The butterfly doors are a unique additional modification that Mansory did not subsequently offer to customers. Two years later, Mansory also offered their customisation programme on the DB9 Volante.
