Aston Martin DB3S
The Aston Martin DB3 was introduced in 1951 with a 133 hp (99 kW) 2.6 L Lagonda straight-6 engine from the DB2 Vantage. Although it used some DB2 parts, it was designed especially for racing and the modifications were done by ex-Auto Union engineer, Eberan von Eberhorst. Initially, the car was unsuccessful, so a 2.9 L engine, which produced 163 hp (122 kW), was introduced in 1952. The car was then able to place 2nd, 3rd, and 4th at Silverstone, behind a Jaguar C-Type. Unfortunately, the DB3 was forced out of Le Mans, but it did succeed in winning the 9-hour race at Goodwood.
In 1953, the lighter and improved version of the DB3, known as the Aston Martin DB3S, was released to the public. This car proved to be more successful than its predecessor and was produced until 1956. Two coupe versions of the DB3S were also created during this time. Finally, in 1956, the DB3S was replaced by the renowned Aston Martin DBR1, which went on to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959.
