2010 Aston Martin DBS Edo Competition Luxurious Sports Car

Edo Competition Aston Martin DBS is a result of a modification carried out by Edo Competition Motorsport for the 12-cylinder Aston Martin that already produces 517 horsepower and has a top speed of more than 300 km/h (186 mph). Improving and underlining the elegance and beauty of this British triumph and strengthening its sporting character was the goal declared by Edo competition.

2010 Aston Martin DBS Edo Competition

The first step taken by Edo Competition was improving the power output. The DBS’s engine control unit was modified via software recalibration, then supported by a new high performance exhaust system, and was fitted with special catalytic converters and high flow air filters. As a result, the DBS’s power output was increased from 517 hp and 570 Nm (420 ft-lb) to 550 hp and 600 Nm (442 ft-lb), an enough power to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.1 seconds and continue on to a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph).

The high performance exhaust system, which was specially designed for the DBS, incorporates butterfly valves allowing it to produce a fantastically rich and sonorous sound. They further help increase the British luxury sports car coupe`s power and torque output. The exhaust comes with a programmable control system that monitors backpressure inside the exhaust and opens the 70 mm butterfly valves when a pre-determined level of backpressure is exceeded.

The unique advantage of this system is that it provides good torque at low engine speeds without sacrificing top end horsepower. The exhaust system is made from stainless steel and the chromed exhaust tips accentuate the elegant design. The driver can adjust the sound of the DBS at any time using a remote control.

Dealing with the levels of grip, Edo competition offers a new wheel design, a set of 21 inch racing wheels. The three-piece wheels come with stainless steel outer rims and the customer can choose the stock tire dimensions

Further, Edo competition has developed a new high performance brake system, 405 mm rotors with 6-piston monoblock calipers and performance brake pads for the front and 380 mm rotors with 6-piston monoblock calipers and performance brake pads for the rear, both including braided stainless steel brake lines.

As with all edo competition models, we set no limit to our customers` imaginations. Special interiors or lavish leather upholstery, individual requests are accommodated and executed with quality.

The modifications of this Edo competition Aston Martin DBS are all carried out at Edo competition Motorsport GmbH in Ahlen, Germany.

Aston Martin V8 history

Aston Martin's customers had been clamouring for an eight-cylinder car for years, so Aston Martin designed a larger 2-door saloon for V8 applications.



The engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the DBS with the straight-6 Vantage engine from the DB6. Two years later, Tadek Marek's V8 was ready, and Aston released the DBS V8. With the demise of the straight-6 Vantage in 1973, the DBS V8, now called simply the Aston Martin V8, became the company's mainstream car for two decades. It was retired in favour of the Virage in 1989.

Top Luxury Cars - The Last Hand Crafted Aston Martin

The Aston Martin Vanquish was created in Newport Pagnell. It was released in 2001 as a Grand Tourer vehicle. The Vanquish is the last of the series for a hand- crafted vehicle. Aston Martin spent forty- nine years making vehicles with skilled workers. To create the sporty vehicle it took a total of forty- eight, eight hour days. It is clear that care was taken in making the vehicle when one examines the bodywork and exquisite interior.

Aston Martin was initially questioned about the engine. Some thought it was the product of Ford. It was felt that the company had combined two Ford Duratec three litre engines. This proved to be incorrect, although there were some parts of that engine that were used. The 5.9 litre V12 engine, 460bhp that made up the Vanquish was definitely created differently from the Duratec.

Problems did plague the first versions of the Vanquish. The primary concerns were of the paddle shift manual gearbox and the handling of the vehicle. There was a comparison to the gearbox on the Ferrari which was extremely flawless when shifting. The performance of the Vanquish under original conditions was fine, but when the car was pushed hard the gearbox failed.

Aston Martin didn't work on the gearbox problem until the Ultimate Edition Vanquish that was produced in 2007. There were a total of forty cars in this line that finally resolved the paddle shift manual gearbox issue. In fact the company was so pleased with the new conventional manual stick shift gearbox they were willing to install them into previous Vanquish models.

While the Vanquish may have had some issues in the early days it was still a very popular vehicle. The dominance of the automobile on the road showcased the familiar Aston Martin trademarks. They began with the extended bonnet, which lead the eye to the unmistakeable front grille and the xenon headlights. The wheel arches protruded boldly and the side strakes completed the Aston Martin design.

The Vanquish S of 2005 was another effort to reduce disapproval. The S series has 520 horse power. It can reach 240 miles per hour, and go from a resting state to 60mph in 4.7 seconds.

The S series has a "Sports Dynamic Pack" on all models, rather than an extra component. The pack is designed to increase performance of steering, braking, and manoeuvrability.

In 2007 the Aston Martin Vanquish was discontinued and it was replaced with the new DBS model that was based around the more modern and highly acclaimed DB9. In 2010, Aston is rumoured to be releasing a proper Vanquish replacement, however as production has now moved to Gayden in Warwickshire it is unlikely to recreate the hand built construction of the stunning but flawed Vanquish.

Whilst we all can't all own an Aston Martin you can improve your car lights to give your vehicle a modern look. Phoenix Autobulbs are retailers of upgrade vehicle lighting products including the latest Headlight Bulbs. If you want your car to look unique and different you should fit new Xenon Bulbs for safer driving.

2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Aston Martin, freshly free of author Motor Company, is trying to become the incoming Porsche, a small, low-volume, high-profit sports car company, just as Porsche becomes the incoming dweller worker purchase up Brobdingnagian chunks of Volkswagen AG.

Take the V8 Vantage, Aston’s competitor for the 911. Please. Because if you hit a lot of money and a discernment of taste, the Vantage is worth kindness as an alternative to the Best Sports Car Ever. You can see this Porsche strategy in the 2009 V8 Vantage, a bonny two-seat coupe and auto that’s apace becoming an iconic luxury sports car design. Like Porsche with the 911, Aston won’t be updating the Vantage with facelifts every few years. The ‘09 V8 Vantage looks exactly same the ‘08 V8 Vantage, save for newborn 19-in. wheel designs and some interior tweaks.

The big change is under the hood. Aston Martin has bored and stroked the 4.3L V-8 (saying it has, in essence, fashioned a newborn block) to 4.7 L. Now it has 420 hp, up 11 percent, and 347 lb-ft of torque, up 15 percent. The newborn V-8 has thinner chamber liners, a newborn forged-steel crankshaft with newborn holes in the counter-weights for reduced rotating mass and better inter-bay breathing, newborn forged-steel connecting rods and cast-aluminum pistons, a newborn sump sportfishing for the dry-sump fill grouping and oil restorative points moved to the sides of the pump, from the front and rear. The chamber heads hit a newborn intake port and bigger inlet valves, accumulated 1 mm to 35. Aston has modified the intake increase to match the newborn port to optimize airflow. The engine ease comes from Ford’s Cologne, Germany, factory.

In the Vantage, the newborn V-8 is hurried and fast. Does it see 40 hp more than a 4.3L Vantage? Yes, marginally, though this is really the sort of thing that shows up better in helper testing. Punch the enrich in second, or especially third gear on brief Eiffel Mountain straights between tight turns, and it feels same you’ve got all the noesis you need. So did the old 4.3 — this is just more immediate, thanks to that higher force figure. The V-8 ease sounds docile around town, rorty under throttle.

Aston Martin also worked on the transmissions, modifying the aggregation and flywheel, reducing aggregation pedal efforts for the accepted six-speed manual and action 1.1 lb (for low rotating group and thus better engine responsiveness) with either the manual or the six-speed Sportshift twin-clutch automanual. Engineers remapped the Sportshift, but it still feels too slow (with no driver-operated programming system). The only way to drive it smoothly is to lift patch shifting, which really defeats the paddle-shifter’s purpose. The full manual feels nearly perfect, both stagehand and clutch, but the stagehand sits gangly on the edifice console, which causes a driver to elbow himself patch movement gears.

Aston has upgraded the suspension, too, including stiffer springs and accepted Bilstein dampers. Apparently responding to some criticism that the V8 Vantage was too soft, Aston has additional an optional Sports Pack, which includes forged lightweight alloy wheels (the five-spoke organisation is nice; there’s also a newborn 20-spoke design), uprated springs, and on the coupe a revised rear anti-roll bar.
