Aston Martin will be busy at this year's Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance. The UK automaker will reportedly bring a fleet of concepts and new models to showcase at the highly posh event.
On the docket is the new DB9 GT, DBX Concept, Lagonda sedan, and Vulcan race car. Of those, the DB9 GT is easily the most significant reveal as it will go on sale almost immediately after its introduction in a couple weeks.
The Aston Martin DB9 GT uses an updated 6.0-liter V12 to develop an improved 540 horsepower over the standard DB9. The increased output makes the DB9 GT the most powerful production DB9 variant ever. In addition to the boost in performance, the DB9 GT will receive interior enhancements like orange contrast stitching and genuine carbon fiber trim.
Also important will be the in-the-metal debut of the DBX concept, a crossover that has already been approved for production. It will be Aston Martin's first foray into the crossover segment.
The Aston Martin Vulcan race car, which first debuted as a road car at the New York Auto Show, will sport a blue and black exterior and a 7.0-liter V12 with over 800 HP on tap.
Rounding out the fleet will be the Middle East-only Lagonda Taraf sedan. Only 200 examples will be built, each using a 6.0-liter V12 from the Aston Martin DB9. Further details are pending its introduction later this month, but expect over 500 HP and ultra-exclusive interior build materials. Pebble Beach could be the first and last time the Lagonda sedan appears on U.S. shores.
