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.
[more details]
"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...:))
