The sister company to Brabus revealed a few upgrades for the 2019 Aston Martin V8 Vantage at the beginning of the year, but more recently, Startech has published the pricing for these parts. The list is opened by the PowerXtra SP600, an upgrade that includes more boost pressure and different control module software for the twin-turbo engine.
As standard, Aston Martin offers 510 PS (503 horsepower) and 685 Nm (505 pound-feet) of torque from 4.0 liters of displacement and Mercedes-AMG expertise. €7,497 later, you’re looking at 600 PS (592 horsepower) and 800 Nm (590 pound-feet), translating to quicker acceleration (3.4 seconds to 100 km/h) and the same top speed as ever.
Capable of 314 km/h (195 mph) on full song, the Startech Vantage is also available with an aggressive grille, carbon-fiber air intakes, and glossy garnish for the princely sum of €2,677. Add to those €1,808 for the carbon-fiber fender vents, and you’re still not done. The aerodynamic diffuser at the rear can be upgraded for €2,201 while the side mirror caps are available in carbon fiber for €1,188. But wait, there’s more!
Visual add-ons continue with the fog light, exhaust tips, and Monostar M wheels available as 21 inchers. All told, Startech is much obliged to get €23,061 for these upgrades. Given that the V8 Vantage starts at $150,000 before options, it wouldn’t be surprising to hit $200k with a few extras and the aftermarket upgrades mentioned beforehand.
Underpinned by the Second Century platform of the DB11 and DBS Superleggera, the V8 Vantage for the 2019 model year is also available with a manual transmission but only as a limited edition. A soft-top convertible is due for 2020, and going forward, it’s not known if the twin-turbo V12 with 5.2 liters of displacement will be offered.
There were also rumors that Aston Martin could tap Mercedes-AMG for the inline-six turbo utilized by the 53 series, but so far, nothing concrete has been decided in this regard.
