Aston Martin DB6

Aston Martin DB6The Aston Martin DB6 was a sports car manufactured by Aston Martin from 1965 to 1970. The car had improved aerodynamics and specification over its predecessor, the DB5. Although these two cars shared the same basic look, the tail treatments were very different, and DB6s are less desirable on the collector car market than the DB5. One major change from the DB5 to the DB6 was the abandonment of the superleggera construction technique for the more common body-on-frame. Triple SU carbs produced 282 hp (210 kW). A Mark II car shared many parts with the then-new DBS. The DB6 Mark 2 was announced on 21st August 1969, identified by distinct flares on front and rear wheel arches and wider tyres. Available as an optional extra for the Mark 2 was AE Brico electronic fuel injection combined with the higher compression ratio cylinder head.
