As we've discussed on tons of occasions, the need for extra exclusivity when it comes to uber-special machines such as the LaFerrari or the Porsche 911 GT3 RS might be difficult to understand for some and yet we're back with the latest example of this trend.
This time, the custom wand has touched an Aston Martin Vantage GT12. You know, the track special of which only 100 units are being built.
German tuner Wheelsandmore has played with No. 91, but, regardless of what you'd expect judging by the company's name, a new set of wheels is the only aftermarket touch on this Aston.
We'll quickly go past the VIP Edition designation of the project, as this simply seems like too much, moving on to the rims and tires of the V12 ride.
The GT2 has been gifted with forged, multi-piece F.I.W.E. wheels, coming in a 20x10.5-inch size up front and in a 20x12-inch size at the back. These are shod in Dunlop Sportmaxx GT rubber, which is offered in a 265/30 R20 size for the front axle and in a 325/25 R20 size for the rear one.
The wheels feature a concave profile, while using a simple design that appears to fit the lines of this Aston rather well. While their lips come in Silver, the wheel centers are finished in Black, with the combination matching the colors on the car.
As you might have noticed, the Aston Martin line-up needs to be explained from time to time, as not too many enthusiasts keep track of the British carmaker's complete development range. We'll go ahead and remind you the Vantage GT12 is motivated by a naturally-aspirated V12 that delivers 600 hp.
However, the devil is in the weight-saving details: a magnesium torque tube, a titanium exhaust, a lithium battery, as well as carbon fiber front wings, hood and door elements. Oh, and let's not forget the optional goodies such as a carbon fiber roof and polycarbonate windows (side and rear). All of these allow for a 220 lbs (100 kg) weight reduction and, of course, massive bragging rights.
