Jalopnik: Aston Martin DB9

M-Zero Concept Is A Multi-Father Bastard Child

Travis Hudson — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:00:00 EDT

What happens when you combine a BMW 6-series, Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin DB9 and a hint of Audi R8? Well, you get the M-Zero, a conceptual design by Maël Oberkampf (and not officially BMW). It's supposed to represent a BMW "synthesis" between some of the luxury manufacturers out there, but it seems predominantly a BMW, most apparent by the badging. The Audi R8 reference comes because that is the look and feel the designer was going for with this design. It's kind of like getting Shakira's ass with Megan Fox's body and Eva Longoria's face.

Kobe Bryant Jumps Over Aston Martin?

Say what you will about Kobe Bryant, you can't deny the guy has some serious jumping capability, or "mad hops" as they say. But can he really jump over an Aston Martin DB9 Volante? More importantly, did he actually jump over it, or was it all a slickly edited fake? We're skeptics, but what do you think?

Aston Martin DB9 Tuned By Mansory: Gorgeous or Gauche?

Ben Wojdyla — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:30:00 EST

If you're worried that the sultry Aston Martin DBS has rendered your DB9 passé, maybe a jaunt to the German tuner Mansory is in order. Their latest super-duper upgrade package makes the already shockingly gorgeous DB9 even more ridiculously alluring. The company adds carbon fiber and alcantara, milled 20" wheels, a revised front fascia and side skirts, a set of Brembo brakes and dashes of tasteful chrome. It's all a bit gauche to us, but then again we're busy gilding all the buttons on our TV remote, so should we really be trusted? [via MotorAuthority]
