(from Elite Press
Release) Vancouver, WA – July 29, 2009 – Final concept images
have just been released for the 2010 Aston Martin LMV/R (Le Mans
Vantage Racer). Only 30 of these race cars for the street will be
produced for the world. Following in the footsteps of the Ferrari
Scuderia and Stradale and Lamborghini Superleggera, the Elite LMV/R
is lighter than the factory Vantage due to most of the body panels
being made from carbon fiber. The Scuderia, Stradale and
Superleggera were built for the purists who wanted a race car for
the street, a more nimble version of the production street car that
they were built from. These cars aren’t for everybody due to their
harsher ride and loud exhaust systems. This is the company that the
LMV/R will now be amongst but even more rare and special. The
Superleggera’s US production was 172 cars, the Ferrari Stradale seen
1,288 examples built and the Scuderia production is supposed to top
out at about 1,500 cars. Compare these production numbers to the 30
LMV/R’s that will be built and you can see how special and rare the
LMV/R will truly be. To take a Vantage and turn it into an LMV/R,
many components are used. Here is a list of what comes standard on
the LMV/R;
-- Carbon fiber body
kit consisting of: front bumper with screens, visible carbon
canards, visible carbon front splitter, hood, fenders (2”
wider), side skirts, side skirt panels, rear quarter panel
extensions (2” wider), trunk lid with visible carbon rear wing,
rear bumper with visible carbon diffuser
-- Matte black 20” wheels and tires for wide body kit
-- Lowering springs
-- Big Brake kit
-- Sport muffler with tips
-- Carbon fiber engine bay kit
-- Full Alcantara interior
-- Carbon fiber interior kit
-- Serial numbered plaque (only 30 cars will be produced)
-- LMV/R matte black stripes
-- Installation and full repaint
All LMV/R’s will be
assembled in Florida and sent to and from the dealership that sold
the car within the US. All LMV/R’s will be based on 2010 Vantage’s
and will be very unique. The customer will order a brand new Vantage
in any color offered by Aston Martin with any options. The Vantage
is then picked up and sent to Florida where the work will be
performed. The exterior can be painted the factory color or a custom
color at an additional charge. The interior can be assembled in any
color of the customers choosing since all the surfaces will be
covered in new Alcantara.
Elite is currently seeking an Aston Martin dealer in the US to be
the exclusive dealer for these 30 cars. The package price is
estimated at $173,000 plus the cost of the Vantage. These will be
very special and unique cars and more information on deposits can be
requested by Elite’s exclusive distributor, Exotica Motorsports.
