Aston Martin DB7 Driving Dynamics (i6) (1997 - 1999)

When the customer wants their i6 DB7 with something special, the car has to go the AML Works Service in Newport Pagnell for that extra touch. The Driving, Visual and Chassis Dynamics packages offer a menu of enhancements for the i6 DB7 that have evolved from the stillborn DB7GT. Under the skin are up-rated brakes based on those of the V8 Vantage, up-rated suspension, sports exhaust and traction control. Bodywork enhancements, marketed under 'Visual Dynamics' include revised front spoiler, sill extension, rear bumper with lower valance and a boot spoiler. A larger intercooler for the supercharger is also available letting the engine breathe denser air - together with a free-flowing exhaust manifold increasing power by upto 50 bhp, giving as potential 385 bhp. Cars with such aftermarket enhancements are also known as 'Works Prepared' and often feature the addition of the green 'Works Prepared' badge, although the modifications are also available from official AM dealers worldwide (where such after market modifications are allowed).
This dramatic DB7 with it's 'Special Metallic Green' paintwork was the works development car for the driving dynamics package.
This is another 'works' DB7 Driving Dynamics as displayed at the Newport Pagnell  factory at the Brooks auction in Spring 2000. The rear view clearly shows the addition of the aerofoil and upgraded rear valance. Very smart five spoke lightweight magnesium alloy GT wheels by OZ are a popular addition to many works modified cars.

This exceptional DB7 was used by Works Service to showcase a number of works prepared enhancements available aftermarket. Finished in Cognac, the car features Sports exhausts, round Vantage rear lamps with revised bumper, plus numerous performance modifications.
