HAMANN Aston Martin V8 Vantage
September 25, 2008 by admin
HAMANN Motorsport, car tuning specialist from Germany, has released its upgrade package for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe and Roadster.
The styling upgrade includes new front bumper with two-piece side spoilers, new side sills, rear deck lid spoiler and rear bumper with three-piece diffuser with rear center spoiler.
The HAMANN Aston Martin V8 Vantage comes with an upgraded ECU which increased the power figure of the 4.3-liter Vantage to 385 hp (283 kW) and the 4.7-liter Vantage to 426 hp (313 kW), an increase of 23 hp (17 kW) and 30 hp (22 kW) respectively. The torque figures have also been increase to approximately 25 Nm and 30 Nm respectively. The top speed has also increase to 290 km/h for the 4.3-liter and 295 km/h for the 4.7-liter.
The suspension system has also been upgraded which lower the front by 30 mm and the rear by 20 mm. The Aston Martin Vantage is also equipped with a stainless steel sport exhaust system and it stands on three-piece HAMANN Edition Race 21-inch light alloy wheels.
Inside, the HAMANN Aston Martin V8 Vantage features aluminum pedal set including a foot rest and threaded pearl velour floor mats. Upon request, bespoke leather trim and equipment are also available.
I thought the V8 Vantage 4.3 liter was 380 hp and the 4.7 liter made 420; thus the horsepower increases would be 5 and 6 instead of the 23 and 30 mentioned the article. Please clarify.
I like your blog and wanted to say keep up the good work. Do you plan on posting more soon?
