Well renowned "not only design and tuning" super house, Prodrive, better known in their effort in Subaru World Rally Team unleashed a range of parts for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. It includes a performance pack for the engine; new driver-adjustable suspension; unique forged wheels; and a discreet aero package.

"Prodrive works with the world’s vehicle manufacturers to help them create cars consumers want. It develops innovative technology which improves the performance, safety and desirability of the products of the world’s automotive industry through full turnkey programmes." -prodrive.com

I like the term "..cars consumer want".. :). For car enthusiast like "us", a lil' bit of "makeover" do satisfy the most. No mater if it was a huge "pimped-project" or just a "penny" of customization.

Equipped with suspension specialists, Bilstein and Eibach, come the new driver-adjustable suspension. A switch in the cockpit allows the driver to choose between normal and sports mode. (awesome)

"Prodrive has tuned the 4.3 litre V8 engine to raise peak power from 283 kW (380 bhp) to 317 kW (425 bhp), as well as increasing peak torque from 410 Nm (302 lbft) to 440 Nm (325 lbft). This reduces the car’s 0-100 km/h time from 5.0 secs to 4.7 secs (est) and increases the top speed by 13 km/h to 293 km/h (est)." -source (double awesome...:))

Yeah. I've been smoked. Two times in 3 days. Both cars are exactly the same as in the picture. Luckily I'm just riding my humble 130cc Modenas, :). The 2 "cultprit" are a local-registration Elise and another one, from "neighbour-down-under".

But what keeping me LOL'ed everytime I saw an Elise passing by or parked anyplace after the recent "smoked" experience no.1, is the "1st Elise" was really smoked itself few minutes after it "smoked" me. Err. I mean, got her engine blown and stranded at the side of the highway. The owner, out of the car, with cellphone in his hand, calling "somebody". Pity him.

Not to underestimate this amazingly super-awesome rides but it prove that what ever kind of roadmachine you own, it is not vulnerable to "problems". What you can do, just take good care of her as you done it for yourself. (Free advice)

No need long introduction. Hamann motorsport is the world's most popular tuning house raging from Ferrari, Mercedes, Lambo, Porsche and especially the Bimmer. Featured here is their spectacular Widebody Race Edition for the already super awesome, M6 E63 Coupe.

Even without the wide body extension, this super-rides is always stunned me and whoever see it "live". Now, with extra option from Hamann, it will kick a$$ for sure.
With three different engine tuning options, you have plenty of money-splashing option to "play" for.

Pssst. Want to remove the engine limiter? Go get one.
