Aston Martin V12 Zagato at Villa d'Este



Zagato and Aston Martin have teamed up once again to unveil an endurance racer concept at Villa d'Este on the of Lake Como. The idea comes from many classics of the partnership such as the DB4GT, V8 Vantage Zagato and DB7 Zagato.

This one will be called the V12 Zagato, taking from the V12 Vantage. It all started in 2010 when the two companies decided to proceed their project with sketches.

Now, it's complete.

Some noticeable adjustments are the new handcrafted aluminum body, new front wings made of seven different pieces of aluminum and the Zagato-based double bubble roof.

The car has a 6.0-liter V12 engine producing 510hp and 570Nm of torque.

Anderson Germany Aston Martin DBS Superior Black Edition



Probably the highlight of Anderson Germany's prestigious lineup is their tuned Aston Martin DBS. They call it the Superior Black Edition, and they are right; it is superior.

The exterior is complemented with carbon mirrors, dark tinted windows and a matte paint job. The wheels are 21-inch gloss black rims wrapped in 255 width tires at the front, and 295 width at the rear, while bright red brake calipers complement these. The V12 now produces 557 bhp with an ECU reprogramming, new catalytic converters, and aftermarket manifolds. Finally, the tuners managed to shed 21 kg of curb weight.

New Aston!


Hey guys, first of all, let me tell you that you are in for a treat! The famous British car maker, Aston Martin, has made a new supercar. If you happen to know Aston Martin, you might know that the new car is not a van, SUV or truck! No, it is actually a supercar. It is called the Vantage GT3. A HUGE 6.0 liter V12 developing 60 horsepower is what powers this monster-of-a-car called the GT3. The GT3 will enter races in 2012. But before all that, there will be some testing this year (2011) in June. To conclude this toofastcv post, it is, like all Aston Martins, very good-looking!

Aston Martin Super Sport Limited Edition


Aston Martin has finally released photos of their future Super Sport Limited Edition. The car`s design blows away ANY Rolls Royce, any Bentley, any Mercedes, any Ferrari, any Lamborghini, or any Porsche in my point of view. The these images are currently being processed and developed by Star Electric Cars France. So, we know it`s going to be awesome, but let`s get more into the specs, and i`ll show you why I love it...

The car will feature a twin-turbocharged 5.4 liter V8 engine producing 800 up to 950bhp. That`s not it. The car`s enormous power is shoved to the wheels thanks to a six-speed manual transaxle gearbox. A F1 paddle shift gearbox is also available. Brembo or AP carbon ceramic brakes are included in the package, a carbon-fiber body and upward-hinging doors! Like the Enzo! The interior specs are leather, alcantara, carbon fiber and Recaro seats. The sat nav system has an iPod connection included.

The car will be limited to only 8 pieces and each car will have a different colour. The costumer can choose it. So your thinking about buying eh? You can if you have a spare € 7,500,000!

British Automaker Aston Martin has revealed the facelift for the 2011 DB9. The new version of the road-going DB9 gets quite a lot of modifications; only for the best. The DB9 is available as either Coupe or Volante with rear mid-mounted six-speed manual gearbox as standard or optional ‘Touchtronic 2’ six-speed automatic transmission. Production of this English vehicle has already started, while the car is expected to be delivered by July of 2010. Prices start from £122,445 for the Coupe and £131,445 for the Volante. In all Aston has revised styling, engineering and equipment enhancements, so let's start.

All these exterior modifications are part of the styling category. As for interior design, a revised Bluetooth microphone system and Bang & Olufsen hi-fi options are available.

Now, for the engineering. Under the hood is a 6.0 liter V12 engine that produces 470bhp and 442lb-ft of torque. As we said earlier, coupled to the engine is a choice of a six-speed ‘Touchtronic’ paddle-shift automatic or a six-speed H-pattern manual transmissions.
