I'm on my second DBS over the last 4 years and this one is sticking around my collection for good. 2009 Casino Royal. I Love everything about this car!

Ive done a few mods, exhaust, suspension and wheels but never really cared about doing anything HP wise as this is not my "hot rod" but with that said i was always disappointed by the lagging throttle response in some RPM ranges and poor throttle feel in first gear whet WOT. The car always felt like there was a "tune" issue from the factory. I would only feel this when I would start driving aggressively but normal driving conditions were OK.

Well, with this Velocity Tune, this car feels like something else. Just the tune alone turned this thing in to a beast. I feel ALL the HP now and this thing pulls so much better through the entire RPM range. Above 4k it actually feels like VTEC kicks in LOL. Even a few passengers noticed the major difference. This is the way this car should have left the factory.

Amazing product and even better service. Anyone that has one of these V12s is doing themselves a disservice by NOT running this Velocity Tune. I cant believe I waited this long to do it. Shame on me lol

I have to post some updated pic but here is one I snapped with my iPhone.

I inferred that your DBS is manual. Is that right? I've always found 1st gear in my car (a manual) to be almost useless.

Gotcha. Well, if you need a tune, let me know.

We also have a container of our lowering springs coming in. 7/8" drop, fully progressive so the ride quality is great.

Fitment is the same as the Vanquish:

Well after reading this I see now that I really should install the tune first... Thanks for setting me straight. And thanks for the photo for it is truly inspirational! Ha, I guess the Jaeger LeCoultre will have to wait.

When can we tune your Rover?

Still on the fence about the rover. It performance very well as is. I really don't have any complaints about its factory setup.

Hi Stuart, do you have a similar solution for a Mercedes S63 (MY2017, so with the AMG M157 engine? On your website not much can be found on this. TIA!

Yes, we can do tuning for the S63. This is a Bosch MED17.7.3 ECU, different software version but same ECU Type as the 2015-on V12 Astons, McLaren, Jag FType, Maserati Ghibli etc.

17.7.3 is available currently for bench flashing only so you would either need to send ECUs to us here in Canada or to David Appleby Engineering in the UK to have programmed.

Being a large displacement turbo, they make ludicrous amounts of power & torque gains.
