Review by CoMod long of Carrera DIGITAL 124 the Aston Martin DBR9 Team Modena No. 59 (23785)
The female PR representative was asked the same question again at the 2012 Gaisberg Race:
Why aren’t there any other Aston Martin DBR9 variants?
Unfortunately, the answer was sobering: there had been a change in ownership, and it was still too early to say how this would affect the existing license. However, they promised to really address this issue—and for that, THANK YOU!
We were encouraged to submit design suggestions; they certainly couldn’t hurt. This was done promptly; naturally, the Mondena was one of the clear favorites among the suggestions in terms of livery and color(s).
As for No. 59—which also raced in the 2008 1,000 km race at Silverstone—there isn’t really anything new to report. But the Modena variant captures such a beautiful car—with so many intricate details in the paintwork, the glossy and matte colors and decals, the painted rims, and the printed brake calipers—that it simply makes you say, “Wow!” For me personally, the DBR9 is and always will be one of the most beautiful GT supercars
. We’re already familiar with the updated technology from the 23747 Aston Martin Racing Green, but the new tire compound is also worth mentioning here, as it significantly improves handling once again.
Personally, I just hope there will be more color variations of the DBR9.
