  • Evosport Performance X-Pipe and Resonator Delete
  • Front & Rear Wheel Spacers
  • MC Sportline Carbon Aero Package (incl. front splitters, rear decklid spoiler, mirrors and door handles)
  • Satin Black Wheels
  • Matte Black Exterior Trim
  • Satin Black Rocker Panels & Front Lower Diffuser
  • Taillamp Trim
  • Ceramic Coated Exhaust
  • Suspension Height Adjustment
  • Full Body Clear Wrap
Sound Clip of vehicle on the road: www.evosport.com/media/audio/Evosport-MasGTS-On-Road.mp3

Below are some pics of the car. You can also download more pictures of this car from the Wallpaper section on our website.

Holy crap Simon, I had no idea you guys did an ECU upgrade on the GTS. Do you have any power gain numbers on this?
BTW, this is the best looking GTS I have seen....nice job!

We were going to smoke the center clear part, but honestly after seeing the final version in person, I wouldn't change a thing. I didn't thik I liked it when I first laid eyes on it, but after 2 minutes I fell in love. Especially how the black trunk lid handle in black connects the two taillights. Just sets it apart and reminds me of the Aston rear lights a bit.

Thanks for the answers Simon, and look forward to that sound clip.
One more thing, is the suspension lowering just thru the GranTurismo skyhook setup?

Wow, you made a gorgeous car more gorgeous. Way to tell the law of diminishing returns where to stick it.

The only thing I think that might make it look any better is getting rid of the amber in the headlights. I wonder how it'd look in white (I have a thing for white GTS's).

Suspension: Yes, factory skyhook but we're installing upgraded race springs in a couple weeks.

I agree. Problem is it's in the headlight assembly like many modern cars are today which makes it a costly thing to do. But I agree a "Euro" style headlamp can go a long way in looks. We can photoshop it out for now
