"In addition to the official show launch of the Aston Martin DBS, the British company is unveiling two special-edition versions of its regular production cars, the V8 Vantage and DB9 inspired by its motorsports programs.   The V8 Vantage N400 celebrates Aston Martin&amp;#039;s participation in the ADAC 24-hour race at Germany&amp;#039;s N\u00FCrburgring with the Vantage N24 race car. Power in the 4.3-liter V-8 in the N400 is now 400 bhp, and the limited-edition model benefits from a sport pack that includes lighter-weight, graphite-finished alloy wheels and stiffer springs, revised shocks and a new anti-roll bar. The improvements to the V8 Vantage N400 enable the car to break the vaunted 8-minute lap time on the N\u00FCrburgring famed North Loop.   Exterior design cues include revised rocker panels, a Magnum Silver hood and side vent meshes, a bright-finish grille and clear taillight lenses. Inside, the cabin features perforated black leather seats, aluminum trim and a numbered plaque signifying its limited-build status. Available in either coupe or roadster versions, the N400 also offers a choice of a Sportshift automated manual or a traditional six speed manual transmission.   The DB9 LM marks Aston Martin&amp;#039;s GT1 class victory at Le Mans with a Sarthe Silver exterior paint finish, mesh-covered grille and vents and a rear crossbar finished in Magnum Silver. Equipped with a Touchtronic automatic transmission, the DB9 LM also sports a black leather interior with perforated inserts, unique &amp;quot;Tertre Rouge&amp;quot; fascia trim and a numbered sill plaque. Like the N400, this special-edition DB9 is equipped with a sport pack that features stiffer springs, shocks and anti-roll bar settings. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
