 | Following the launch of the new Aston Martin 4.7 V8
Vantage this summer, owners of the original 4.3 litre V8 Vantage are
now afforded the choice of a retrospective-fit power enhancement and popular Sports Pack option.
Customers will be
able to upgrade their existing 4.3 litre V8 engine to an even more
potent version. With
the addition of the power upgrade, peak power is raised by 20bhp to
400bhp and torque is increased by 10Nm to 420Nm, increasing top speed
to 177mph and delivering a slight improvement in the 0-60mph time.
| | |  | The all-new BMW Z4 will go on sale in May with a host of innovations.
It's the first to come with a two-piece,
electro-hydraulically operated Retractable Hard-Top that can be
raised or lowered in 20 seconds. The new roadster is also the first
vehicle to be offered with Adaptive M Suspension. Drive Dynamic Control function is another first and
allows the driver to alter, depending on model specification, the
throttle and steering response, level of ride comfort, Dynamic
Stability Control response and, on automatic or Double Clutch
Transmission cars, gear change times.
