This Aston Martin Vantage packs DBS Superleggera performance

In 2017, British luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin revealed the opulent Aston Martin Vantage coupe. The vehicle inherited some exterior traits of the DB10 and borrowed its twin-turbo V8 mill rated at 510 hp / 380 kW from the Mercedes C63 AMG. You would think it would enjoy plenty of attention on the market – but the sales figures beg to differ. As it turns out, most potential buyers found little justification for the steep €155,000 price tag. So what do you do in a situation like this?

Make it truly stand out, of course! This is what German tuner Wheelsandmore seems to think, at least. The guys just released their custom version called the Wheelsandmore Aston Martin Vanquish.

Courtesy of extensive engine tuning, the sports car is now capable of 680 hp (507 kW) and 820 Nm (605 lbft) of torque. The upgrade consists of two larger turbine chargers, advanced sports catalysts, and a valve-controlled exhaust system.

The tweaked Vantage sprints 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in mere 3.3s and only hits its speed ceiling at 330 km/h (205 mph). To compare, the production car manages 3.6s and 314 km/h (195 mph), respectively. The new figures actually put it on par with the range-topping DBS Superleggera coming with a V12 TT engine and a €275,000 price tag.

If you don’t need quite as much horsepower, Wheelsandmore has two cheaper upgrades on offer: 590 hp (440 kW) and 626 hp (467 kW). With a bit of skill, both can be installed in a matter of minutes without having to go to a service station.

The Wheelsandmore Aston Martin Vanquish also takes advantage of two custom wheel sets: the carbon-trimmed 6Sporz² and the Fork. Both are available in 21 and 22 inches.

Well, do you think the Aston Martin Vantage is worth the investment now?
