The car pictured is being developed and produced by "Star Electric Cars" France. They are a car designer licensed to create luxury electric golf cars resembling brands like Rolls Royce, Bentley, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, and Porsche. They also design special built cars for presidents, kings and princes around the world.
They have started a new project, a ‘normal’ sports car named the Aston Martin Super Sport. The Super Sport is a mid-engine engine sports car with a “supercar” look powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4 liter V8 engine producing from 800hp up to 950bhp. The power is transferred to the wheels by a six-speed manual transaxle, fully synchronized with an integral, torque-sensing, helical limited-slip differential. If requested a F1 paddle shift gearbox is available.
The exhaust system is powder coated. The brake system includes Brembo or AP carbon ceramic brakes. The Aston Martin re-build is only available in left-hand drive and has a carbon fiber body.
The interior includes leather, alcantara, carbon fiber and Recaro seats. The satellite navigation system has an iPod connection included.
Aston Martin will only make eight cars worldwide, each color will only be made once. Sky blue is available immediately. As a customer you can visit the company to see the car and test drive it. He or she can choose the color for the exterior and interior as well as any additional option.
So far so good! But here is the price tag: € 7,500,000 per vehicle!!!
Remarkable comfort, sporty manners and long distance capability are not mutually exclusive qualities for this car.
Power in abundance and unbridled V8 goodness are provided by edo competition.
The verdict was unanimous: 457 horsepower and 600 Nm (442 ft-lb) are not enough. A newly developed high-performance exhaust system, exhaust headers, high-flow catalytic converters, new air filters and a recalibrated ECU (including top speed governor removal) boost these numbers to an impressive 555 horsepower and 680 Nm (501 ft-lb). As a matter of principle, all recalibrations done by edo competition are verified on the dynamometer to document the true power output.
The facts about the exceptional edo C 63: 6.3 liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine, 408 kW (555 hp), 680 Nm (501 ft-lb) of torque, 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.3 seconds, top speed: 199 mph – there’s no better way to sum up the capabilities of the edo C 63!
The high-performance exhaust featuring butterfly valves is as aurally impressive as it is advanced, monitoring the exhaust backpressure in real-time. The accompanying controller is programmable and the integrated 70 mm exhaust flaps open at a predetermined level of backpressure. The advantage of this system is that it provides a good amount of at low revs without restricting the maximum power at the top end. The high-flow exhaust system is made from 100% stainless steel and the stock-like dual exhaust tips underscore the expressive styling.
To provide superior levels of grip, edo competition offers exclusive wheel/tire combinations. Using a new wheel design the C 63 was equipped with a set of ultra-lightweight 19 in. sport wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires. Front: 235/35 19, Rear: 265/30 19
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.
All modifications are carried out exclusively at edo competition Motorsport GmbH in Ahlen.
So this time the mentalists at Edo have taken the Superleggera and fitted high-flow catalytic converters, a remapped ECU and (in their words) a "massive'" airbox. There's also a smarty-pants exhaust system with a remote-operated volume control. How cool?
Together, these components raise the power to 560bhp at an insane 8,250rpm. That's 30bhp more than a standard Superleggera. Top speed goes up to 199mph and 0-62mph goes down a tenth to 3.7 seconds.
