The DBR9, heir to a prestigious lineage
Launched in 2005, the Aston Martin DBR9 represented the British marque's official return to racing after a decades-long hiatus. Developed from the production DB9, this racing version was specifically designed for GT championships and international endurance events.
Powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine developing approximately 600 horsepower, the DBR9 delivered formidable performance while retaining Aston Martin's distinctive aesthetic DNA. Its carbon fiber and aluminum chassis, combined with sophisticated aerodynamics, made it a formidable competitor on the most demanding circuits.
The DBR9's success was immediate: in its first full season in 2006, it won the FIA GT Constructors' Championship, confirming Aston Martin's return to the highest level of motor racing.
Aston Martin, an exceptional brand
Founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford , Aston Martin quickly established itself as one of the most prestigious automotive brands in the world. In 2006, the year of this DBR9, the brand was going through a period of renaissance under the aegis of Ford, which had invested heavily in the development of new models.
This period marked a decisive turning point for Aston Martin: the release of the DB9 in 2004 had relaunched the brand in the luxury GT market, and the return to competition with the DBR9 confirmed the Gaydon-based firm's sporting ambitions. The association with the Prodrive team for the development and entry of the DBR9 demonstrated this desire to return to the summits of motor racing.
This strategy was in keeping with the tradition of Aston Martin, a brand that had shone in the 1950s and 1960s with legendary models such as the DBR1, victorious at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The human adventure of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2006
The 2006 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans will go down in history as one of the most competitive races of the decade. The #009 DBR9, driven by Pedro Lamy, Stéphane Sarrazin, and Stéphane Ortelli, competed in the GT1 class, facing formidable competition from the Corvette C6.R and the Maserati MC12.
Experienced Portuguese driver Pedro Lamy brought his expertise in endurance racing, while Stéphane Sarrazin came from the world of Formula 1 and prototypes. As for Stéphane Ortelli, the Monegasque was already a GT legend, having won the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice. This cosmopolitan trio perfectly embodied the international spirit of the Le Mans event.
The race itself was a true marathon, marked by changeable weather conditions and a fierce battle between the various manufacturers. The green livery of this DBR9 #009 stood out magnificently on the asphalt of the Sarthe circuit, recalling the traditional colors of British motorsport.
This participation was part of Aston Martin's strategy to return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a return that would culminate a few years later with the historic victory in 2007, the brand's first victory since 1959. The 2006 DBR9 #009 is thus part of this modern epic that has restored Aston Martin's reputation in endurance racing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
