Elite Aston Martin Vantage

Like the Scuderia and Superleggera, Elite set out to create a nimble version of a production street car. It chose the new Vantage, covered the car in carbon fiber and strapped on a few performance modifications in the process. http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com//media/il/news/2009/0805/eliteastonlmvr1.500.jpg

To improve performance, the Washington-based tuner installed a sport muffler with dual tips, big brake kit and lowering springs.

The bulk of the work was done on the exterior, thanks to a full carbon fiber body kit. It consists of a front bumper with screens, canards, front splitter, hood, wider fenders, side skirts, rear quarter-panel extensions, rear wing and diffuser. Matte black 20-inch wheels sit in the now 2-inch-wider wheelwells.

Other changes include a carbon fiber engine bay kit, fully customized Alcantara interior, serial-numbered plaque and LMV/R matte black stripes.
