Aston Martin V8 Vantage by Mansory
October 18, 2007 by George Skentzos
For the most part, high-end tuning companies have a difficult job when it comes to modifying some of the most perfect sports cars in the world. Odd then, it seems, for German tuner Masonary to tackle the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, sure it never hurts to have more power but in the looks department this car is already flawless.
Nevertheless, Masonary have added numerous exterior aesthetic modifications to the Vantage which include a carbon front spoiler, a rear apron with integrated diffuser, full side skirts, a boot lid spoiler and a new grille.
Some slightly more practical exterior changes include a carbon engine cover, a vented bonnet, carbon attachments for the side mirrors and taillights and a three-piece carbon sway bar.
Once inside, you are confronted by a new leather and Alcantara sports steering wheel, aluminum pedals, Mansory floor mats and custom door sills.
Whilst the engine has remained relatively unchanged, the exhaust system has been upgraded using a new sports muffler with stacked twin tips as featured on the Lexus IS-F.
This is potentially the motoring equivalent of blasphemy as the symphony of the V8 in the Vantage remains one of the most crotch inducing sounds in the world.
On the other hand, the suspension has been improved with new performance springs and the standard brakes have been replaced with Brembo designed six-piston calipers up front and four-piston units in the back.
These are engulfed within black powder-coated 20in forged alloy wheels wrapped with 295mm tires up back and 255mm tires in the front.

H.O.T is the only letters I can describe this beauty from Aston – Mansory!!! /starts drooling
Do Aston make ANYTHING thats not hot!!!!!!!!!
Does any of the phone companies do a ring tone with an Aston revving???? That would be cool…….I wouldn’t answer the phone ever if we could! Just let it ring baby!!!!!!
Actually Bavarian when we were at their offices last, one of the staff had the V8 Vantage noise as his ring tone!
Really …..where do you get it from ?
In like Flynn!
Looks like a nastier, sexier Monaro from the side on pic!
Go wash your mouth out with soap,hehehe Monaro and Aston in the same sentence…tut,tut,tut!
I must admit that I prefer the look of the “standard” Aston Martin V8 Vantage. The side skirts and those front fog lights are a bit much for me.
I love the DBS but hey I am not fussy….how ever I can get one .
that car is dead sexy, but it is a pitty Astons break down more then Ben Cousins in rehab!!!!!!!!! LOL.
Non really funny at all . I like Astons and Ben Cousins!
I feel sorry for the guy….he was clearly targeted by the police they have been watching and waiting to catch him! Hope he sues them all!!!!!!!!
Leave the poor guy alone to try and recover properly!
not a fan. it looks like HSV got a hold of it.
