Startech Refines Aston Martin

Startech Refines Aston Martin

With the STARTECH SP 600 performance upgrade “powered by BRABUS,” the German refinement specialist draws on the tremendous expertise of its parent company. Because the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 of the Aston Martin Vantage is supplied by Mercedes-Benz, the BRABUS product range held a tried and tested performance upgrade. As a result of the STARTECH engine tuning to 441 kW / 600 hp and the increase in torque to 775 Nm, the coupe accelerates from rest to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds.

This in-house technology transfer resulted in the STARTECH PowerXtra SP 600 performance kit “powered by BRABUS” for the smallest Aston Martin: The calibration to the specifications of the Vantage was done using state-of-the-art test bench technology and extensive test drives on racetracks and public roads. The outcome is impressive. The rated output was bumped by 66 kW / 90 hp, while peak torque increased by 90 Nm to 775 Nm at a low 3,100 rpm at the same time

To this end, STARTECH integrates a plug-and-play auxiliary control module into the engine electronics, which governs injection and ignition with new mapping and moderately increases the boost pressure as well. Peak output jumps from stock 375 kW / 510 hp to 441 kW / 600 hp at a low 6,000 rpm. At the same time, peak torque increases from 685 auf 775 Nm, on tap constantly between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm. The driving performance of the refined British sports car is accordingly outstanding.

To give the Vantage an even sportier appearance, the STARTECH designers revised some of the details on the bodywork. They developed two inserts for the large intake in the front fascia, which gives the front of the two-seater an even more aggressive expression and redirects the airflow even more precisely and effectively to the front brakes. These components are available as PUR variants or made of naked carbon with glossy or matte coating.

STARTECH Monostar M 21-inch alloys tailor-made for the current Vantage further characterize the exclusive looks. They come in different variants. The design featuring five pairs of spokes is combined with a hub cover that gives the wheel a center-lock look as in motor racing. The stylized center nut is available in black, silver, red or blue anodized.
