The AstonMartin DBR3 was a sports car racing sports racing car built in 1958 as an alternative to the AstonMartin DBR1 DBR1 , using a different engine and front end setup. The car was very short lived and eventually converted into a DBR1. Design The DBR3 was built from a DBR1 chassis and body but featured two major changes. First, the Lagonda based 2.9L Straight 6 was replaced by an engine based on that used in the newly released AstonMartin DB4 road car. While the AstonMartin DBR2 DBR2 used this engine in its original 3.7L form, the DBR3 had the engine destroked to 3.0L 2990cc in order to compete in the 3 Liter Sportscar category, just like DBR1. The second difference between the two was that instead of the standard front suspension from DBR1, DBR3 used a new wishbone suspension that was being developed for the AstonMartin DBR4 DBR4 Formula One car at the same time. It was believed this setup would be superior to the one used on DBR1 and DBR2. Only one DBR3 chassis was built, known as DBR3 1. Racing history The DBR3 s racing history was very short it appeared at only two races, competing in only one at Silverstone Circuit Silverstone , and failing to finish. The new engine was proven to be unreliable and prone to overheating in comparison to the older familiar engine in the DBR1. Thus the decision was made to cancel the DBR3 and instead concentrate on the DBR1. DBR3 1 had its engine removed and the suspension was returned to a normal configuration, with the car being redesignated as DBR1 4 and racing on in this form in 1959. The engine from DBR3 would later be placed in a AstonMartin DB4 DB4GT and raced in the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans , although again with little success.
