"The Muscle Milk team has long been a force to be reckoned with in ALMS racing, and the 2011 season brings many changes to the team. The biggest is a new partnership with Lola-Aston Martin, providing the team with a closed cockpit car packing a 6-liter V12—a big change from the lower-powered open car of previous years. This is due to IMSA rules that allow 2010 LMP1 cars to run in the ALMS, bringing a whole new level of excitement to the series. While the Lola-Aston Martin changeover brings challenges as the drivers get used to the incredible capabilities of the higher-output closed car, it is already brining success. Of course, the rivalry in ALMS LMP1 racing is fierce, but rest assured that the new car and talented crew carried over from the previous season should ensure that the Muscle Milk Aston Martin Racing team is going to be fun to watch."

—Official description

The 2011 Aston Martin #6 Muscle Milk Aston Martin Lola is an LMP1 sports prototype by Aston Martin.

It appears in Forza Motorsport 4.

Synopsis

The B09/60, more commonly known by its internal name, the DBR1-2 (which references the Le Mans winning DBR1), was Aston Martin's first foray into the top level of endurance racing since the AMR1 in 1989. Co-developed by Lola and Prodrive, the car is an evolution of the B08/60 that Charouz Racing System had run on behalf of Aston Martin Racing (AMR) in the 2008 season of the Le Mans Series. The car competed across all of the major endurance series (and the 24 Hours of Le Mans) from 2009 to 2011.

With a change in the regulations for Le Mans in 2008 now allowing for a GT1 engine to be used in a prototype car, the 09 uses the 6.0L V12 engine from the DBR9, but with larger air restrictors due to the size and weight of the engine. A unique feature of the 09 is its lack of brake ducts, with the rear brakes being cooled by two fans instead.

The #6, driven by Klaus Graf, Lucas Luhr (replaced by Romain Dumas at the Baltimore Grand Prix), and Greg Pickett (12 Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans only) competed in the 2011 American Le Mans Series (ALMS) season. It won 4 races that year, but was beaten to the tile by one of Dyson Racing's Mazda B09/86.

The car was meant to be succeeded by the AMR One, but due to reliability issues, AMR reverted to using the #007 after only competing with the AMR One in two races. The #007 competed in the last three rounds of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (ILMC), and the ALMS race at Laguna Seca, where it got the car's last ever win.

The Aston Martin Lola features two livery variants:
