Car Throttle

Coachbuilders often aim to take existing cars and make them into something different, just for difference sake. Exclusivity is the greatest luxury - or something like that. The other method is taking a lower end car and making it into something better, but unique. Kit cars, on the other hand, mostly aim to look like the real thing but for a whole lot less. EDO Competition is straddling that line with its new effort, turning the five-year old DBS into a DB9. Interestingly, the car was commissioned by its owner. How about just buying a new DBS for is almost certainly a whole lot less money? Beats us. This obviously isn't your standard conversion job. EDO Competition replaced the metal body panels of the DB9 into the carbon fiber

We're counting down the supercar crash incidents happening recently: the Bugatti Veyron and now infamous "low flying pelican" incident, then a Ferrari California crashes into construction equipment.  Now, footage of a Aston Martin DB9 crashing into a tree in Warsaw, Poland. That makes three. The driver apparently loses control of the vehicle and then it hits into a tree, breaking it in half (!) while careening out of control in the roadway. Pure craziness! Amazingly, this crash again appears to not have resulted in any major injuries. Take a look! httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L51BXgF0B6w&feature=player_embedded
