Description

SCX has reproduced a car from one of the most representative and exclusive British motorsports constructors, Aston Martin, a car infused with undeniable elegance and symbolism.

To start with, the actual colour is a classic: a green very similar to the ever-popular “racing green”, with some yellow touches on front bumper, windscreen and side windows, providing unsuspected visibility. This official decoration is in itself very “clean”, allowing the size and aerodynamics of the model to show through. The flag clearly reveals its British origins.

The bodywork has numerous air intakes and outlets in the front section - 3 intakes distributed around the centre and sides of the bumper and up to 10 outlets on the bonnet and 2 over the front mudguards- to ensure proper cooling for this incredible sports machine. On the rear wing, just above the wheels, there are a further two air intakes cooling the tyres. Its length is visually accentuated by the elongated headlights set flush with the mudguard.

Its exceptional width at some points at the rear, low centre of gravity and the prominent rear spoiler intimate exceptional stability and road-holding. The narrowness of the “mid-section”, however, gives it a somewhat sinuous appearance.

Still on the outside, SCX has reproduced a number of details, such as the twin petrol caps on the rear wing and the exhaust pipe outlets, also on both sides but very discreetly placed at the centre of the side skirts. Other interesting details included are a pair of aerials on the car roof, the chrome-look wheels and the rear-view mirrors, projecting outwards further than is usually the case. The vertical, centrally-located windscreen wiper adds symmetry to the car’s overall appearance. Worthy of note, inside the car, is the driver, with his decorated suit and crash helmet, plus the roll-bars at the front and back.

Driving Impressions

The Aston Martin DBR9 is an exceptionally long GT, and this, combined with its long rear end, affects every aspect of performance. Capable of reaching high speeds due to its guide distance the merit for all drivers will be to make the most of the braking capacity before the curves, thus avoiding losing the rear end when starting into the turn

The possibility of adjusting the series magnet should also be taken very much into account. By bringing it closer to the track you can improve road holding, although overall speed will also decrease.
