When the customer wants their i6 DB7 with something special, the car has to go the AML Works Service
in Newport
Pagnell for that extra touch. The Driving, Visual and Chassis Dynamics packages
offer a menu of enhancements for the i6 DB7 that have evolved from the stillborn DB7GT. Under the skin are
up-rated brakes based on those of the
V8 Vantage, up-rated suspension, sports exhaust and traction control. Bodywork enhancements, marketed under 'Visual Dynamics' include revised front spoiler, sill extension, rear bumper with lower valance and a boot spoiler. A larger intercooler for the supercharger is also available
letting the engine breathe denser air - together with a free-flowing exhaust
manifold increasing power by upto 50 bhp, giving as potential 385 bhp. Cars with such aftermarket enhancements are also known as 'Works Prepared' and
often feature the addition of the green 'Works Prepared' badge, although the
modifications are also available from official AM dealers worldwide (where such
after market modifications are allowed of course).
The dramatic DB7
(above) with it's 'Special Metallic Green' paintwork was the works development car for the driving dynamics package. |

The exceptional DB7 (below) was used by Works Service to showcase a number of works
prepared enhancements available aftermarket. Finished in Cognac, the
car features Sports exhausts, round supercharged Vantage rear lamps with revised bumper, plus
numerous performance modifications. The round rear lights are also seen on
some DB7 Vantages but I've yet to see a DB7 Vantage with the side skirts. |
