For looks the car has been installed with single bi-xenon headlamps, new single bi-xenon headlamps, a new front bumper, new front wings as well as a new rear bumper with integrated air diffuser and exhaust system. All this places the car in between the DB9 which is the elegant model from Aston and the sporty looking DBS.
