If you already have a few Astons in the garage then listen up. The crew at Gaydon is busily preparing a mild facelift for the stunning DB9 Grand Tourer, our spy photographers at Carparazzi snapping these images of the classy coupe sporting new bumpers, a slightly larger rear spoiler and side skirts reminiscent of big brother, the gorgeous DBS coupe.

While it's early days yet, we also expect the makeover to include some subtle interior refinements, possibly ditching some of the Volvo/Ford-sourced equipment in favour of more up-scale mod-cons. A small power hike is also on the cards, in case the current 350kW/600Nm V12 isn't enough, the sonorous 5.9-litre powerplant expected to be retained through the late-life freshen up.

As with most model upgrades, new wheel and equipment packages are also likely though it's predicted the Sports and Volante nomenclature will remain.

The revised 2011 Aston Martin DB9 will most likely make its world debut at this year's Paris Motor Show in September. Pricing will probably remain northward of $360K.
