2010 Aston Martin Elite LMV/R

As its name suggests, the 2010 Aston Martin Elite LMV/R (Le Mans Vantage Racer) is an exclusive model because its production will be limited to only 30 units. The Elite LMV/R is lighter than the factory Vantage (on which the Elite LMV/R is based) due to majority of its body panels being forged from carbon fiber.

The 2010 Aston Martin Elite LMV/R features a carbon-fiber body kit, lowering springs, a sport muffler with tips, a carbon-fiber engine bay kit, matte-black 20-inch wheels and tires for the wide body kit, a Big Brake kit, an interior fully outfitted in alcantara, a carbon fiber interior kit, LMV/R matte black stripes, and a serial-numbered plaque. Customers also get installation and full repaint as part of the package. The assembly of all LMV/Rs will be done in Florida. Customers can opt to have the exterior painted in a factory color or a custom color (with a corresponding additional charge), but they can choose to get the interior assembled in any color to suit their tastes.

2009 Aston Martin Volare Concept Design

James Trim is truly a lover of Mother Nature. His design of his car, the Aston Martin Volare simply proves this. Aston Martin Volare is anchored to the principle that automakers must see to it that their vehicles are environment friendly if not totally harmful free.

Aston Martin Volare is a design that provides a guilt-free driving for the passengers while not sacrificing the incredible sound and excellent performance of the car. James’ design is a two-seater car that has a high-power fuel cell stack that is flanked by the front seats. A backend mounted battery pack and a co-axial electric motor is also embedded at the front. Two hydrogen storage tanks are placed overhead the cars axle for an equal distribution of the cars weight. The Aston Martin Volare proportion is visually sharpened by the use of a harder shoulders and a visible floating rear deck.

The front frame, which is solid, is inspired by the older V8 vantage. The Volare’s flexible frontage fenders are able to change its shape to expose daytime running lights or full headlamps. A car is immediately identifiable as a masterpiece of Aston Martin if its design is a combination of the today’s technology and designed as a harmful free to the environment vehicle.
