Up front the lower fascia has been reshaped with a single wider lower opening while a pair of DBS-style air extractors are added to the hood. Both of those point to a bump in output, likely in the range of 10-20 horsepower although it could be considerably more if <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/aston-martin\/\">Aston Martin<\/a> decides to add something like direct injection to the 6.0-liter V12. <\/p>\n<p>Obviously, it&#8217;s too early to speculate about gearbox changes, but since Aston Martin has indicated that it will be working with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/mercedes-benz\/\">Daimler<\/a> on some future projects, we wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/sl-class\">SL63&#8217;s<\/a> multi-clutch-transmission supplant the hydraulically actuated manual. <\/p>\n<p>At the back the DB9\/DBS gets clear taillamp lenses, a taller lip spoiler and a big diffuser to help keep the rear wheels stuck to the pavement at elevated speeds. Undoubtedly, there will also be interior upgrades with some new woods and hides and perhaps a better telematics system of some sort. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-aston-martin-db9\/\">Spy Shots: 2011 Aston Martin DB9<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-aston-martin-db9\/#2992696\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/01-2011-aston-martin-db9-spy-kgp-may_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-aston-martin-db9\/#2992697\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/02-2011-aston-martin-db9-spy-kgp-may_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-aston-martin-db9\/#2992698\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/03-2011-aston-martin-db9-spy-kgp-may_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-aston-martin-db9\/#2992699\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/04-2011-aston-martin-db9-spy-kgp-may_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-aston-martin-db9\/#2992700\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/05-2011-aston-martin-db9-spy-kgp-may_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/18\/spy-shots-aston-martin-db9-dbs-nip-tuck-spotted-swirling-round\/\">Spy Shots: Aston Martin DB9\/DBS nip\/tuck spotted swirling &#8217;round the &#8216;Ring<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 18 May 2010 16:00:00 EST.
