I knew it wouldn't take long before someone started to work on those V8

Didn't realized it at first but they removed every Aston Martin badge on that car, what...

in one of the photos the badge is removed from the steering wheel and in another photo it is on the steering wheel... are these just renderings or an actual car

 

Just saw a video of the Geneva show coming up and the same car had the Aston Martin logo on it so...

 

I very rarely like a body kit but that looks good on the 11.

 

+1 ...

 

They do great interiors, but does an Aston interior need more?

 

I was more looking at the extra 100hp than anything else

 

For what the mods would cost, why not just get the V12?

 

We'll have some software finalized for these pretty soon

 

With the turbos it's going to be much easier to increase HP. The article wasn't very detailed, but it said all they did was remap the ECU and add an exhaust. I haven't read much about tuning the motors, but sounds like the wastegate is electronically controlled. Welcome to the world of Japanese and European boost buggies. Just going to be a lot more expensive when you blow the motor.

The V12 is a lot heavier than the V8. So if you can get the same HP in the V8 then you maintain all the advantages of the lighter car. I'd say you also get to keep the dry sump, but they did away with that for some reason with the new motors.

 

Weight over the front wheels.

 

These AMG V8s are going to be a lot of fun. My e63 estate wagon was tuned by RENNtech and made 701hp and 839tq. Would be a ton of fun in a Vantage. Too bad the don’t look good anymore.
