Information
At the request of a customer, in 1998 the Special Projects Group at Works Service were tasked with shoehorning the 32 valve V8 into a DB7 bodyshell. This was first tested with a works mule, which was subsequently destroyed making this, the customer version, the only factory DB7 V8 ever made. The engine wasn't just the regular 5.3 version, this DB7 received a 6.3 litre unit, detuned to 452 bhp and mated to the familiar 4 speed plus overdrive Chrysler Torqueflite automatic gearbox.
The finished car received the Driving Dynamics bodykit, brass coloured mesh grilles and the 5 spoke lightweight Dymag GT wheels. The bonnet was especially made in aluminium with twin power bulges together with bespoke aluminium wings and boot lid.
