Bavarian company Loder1899 has created a performance package for the
Aston Martin Vantage V8 that improves on power and handling of the already potent coupe. The most notable changes include the addition of a 4-way adjustable titanium suspension system and a stainless steel sports exhaust system that maintains the standard car’s exhaust valve system. These valves open up at 4,000rpm for an increase in power and an equally powerful below from the 4.3L V8.
Visually, Loder1899 has developed its own carbon-fiber parts that include a modified front lip, engine cover, a subtle rear diffuser and rear spoiler. New 20in wheels, which were designed with the help of British wheel designer Afzal Kahn, complete the package. There’s also an optional set of 21in Hollowspoke wheels as well as special set for use in winter.
Final output is
405hp at a lofty 7,000rpm combined with peak torque of
410Nm at 5,000rpm. Total weight of the Loder1899 tuned Vantage is 1570kg and
top speed is 280km/h, with the 0-100km/k taking 4.9 seconds.
