  • Performance Tuner Magazine Article TECH : Dyno Discrepancies Transcribed Because of Image Quality
    Performance Tuner Magazine Article TECH : Dyno Discrepancies Transcribed because of image quality Subtitle : Think of a Number Performance is a numbers game. But just how reliable are those numbers when they’re produced on a rolling-road? We take one car to five different chassis dynamometers on the same day to answer that question. Story and photos : Peter Knivett Rolling-road thrashes : don’t you just love them? Gathering a group of similar machines together at some willing rolling road always makes for pretty interesting reading – and particularly the owner’s reactions after what can all too often be a disappointing power run. The textbook line is usually ‘I’m gutted, I thought it would make over 300bhp,’ when their pride and joy has actually made just 187 bhp. On the face of it, who’d argue with this disappointed punter’s line of thinking? After all, they’ve probably spent thousands of pounds on all the right tuning goodies, plus they ‘had a mate on an internet forum who’s told me it must be really quick, because his brother said so, and he worked at Prodrive once, and he knows what he’s talking about…’ Month in, month out, you see this sort of tale repeated across all sectors of the performance tuning market, and it never fails to amuse, because it’s a classic case of putting the component-expenditure cart before the testing horse. Despite melting his credit card by splashing out on tuning goodies our disappointed punter forgot to spend just 50-75 pounds having his car tested on a rolling-road, which could well have made a crucial difference to its ultimate performance.

  • The Aston Martin Vantage Range
    The Aston Martin Vantage Range Improvements to V8 Vantage further enhance dynamics, style and value Seven-speed Sportshift™ II transmission replaces six-speed Sportshift™ unit Chassis and braking upgrades deliver greater feel, response and control Motorsport-derived aerodynamic package sharpens V8 Vantage’s award-winning looks Vantage range RRP* starts from £84,995 / €108,500 (Germany) The Aston Martin Vantage range continues to evolve with a comprehensive array of improvements to the V8 Vantage aimed at enhancing the dynamic feel, style and competitive pricing of the marque’s entry-level sports car. In the most comprehensive programme of enhancements since 2008, the revised 4.7-litre 420bhp (426PS/313kW) entry-level V8 Vantage features a raft of improvements first seen in the critically acclaimed Vantage S. The standard six-speed manual transmission remains, but the optional six-speed Sportshift™ automated manual transmission has now been replaced with the seven-speed Sportshift™ II. With an additional gear, closer ratios, lower final drive and a quicker, refined shift quality, this new gearbox – designed and manufactured specifically for Aston Martin – provides faster and more precise shifts, optimises acceleration and delivers a sporting driving experience. Further dynamic enhancements centre on the V8 Vantage’s chassis, which features developments from the Vantage S. Quicker steering, bigger brakes and wider tyres have all been fitted to further enhance the V8 Vantage’s class-leading poise and make it even more responsive and exciting to drive. A new steering column installation, re-valved power-steering pump and a quicker ratio of 15:1 compared to 17:1 on the previous model ensure the new V8 Vantage steers with even greater precision, handles with more agility and provides more feedback for a completely engaging drive.
