Lightbulb DBS facelift spied!

New bumpers, a bigger rear spoiler and new side skirts will all be part of the refresh. It’s also expected that the DBS will gain LED-accented headlights, similar to those found on the brand new Rapide. A hike in power as well as a tweaked interior are also likely to feature as part of the facelift.

Expect both the DB9 and DBS to debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. Aston Martin will most likely follow this up with refreshes of both Volante models into the new year.

I think it looks great. Thought again that Aston needs more power, just imagine how utterly brilliant Astons would be combining beauty with Ferrari rivalling power and dynamics numbers.

Yup, I was thinking the same thing. I definitely see a lot of similarities to the Rapide.

Now it just needs about 600 bhp to be more in line with the Ferraris.

Or 550 bhp which actually perform like 550 bhp. I don't know what it is with AM and power but the numbers and performance don't really match when compared to other cars with similar power.

Because they are heavier, just noticed the rear diffuser on the spy shots..........I like what I see.

at first I thought the pic was blurry..


anyway....I don't get their philosophy for facelifts...they all look pretty much the same,except some really minor differences.


An Aston Martin looks like an Aston Martin and will always look like an Aston Martin.

like the Rapide like LEDs though....and the DBS is hot !

it's becoming more like a Rapide Coupe now, these headlights do look better on this car though
here's a quick rendering
