Aston Martin DBS by Edo Competition

Posted by Mr Dung Monday, March 8, 2010

 

Apparently edo competition doesn't think 517 horsepower is enough to propel Aston Martin's DBS around. "Not quite enough," as they put it. To remedy the situation, edo did a number on the ECU and breathing situation.

For people new to the tuning concept, that means new air filters, high-flow catalytic converters, and a new remote controlled exhaust system. Result: 550 horsepower and 600 Nm / 442 lb-ft of torque (+30 Nm / 22 lb-ft).

"This is enough power to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.1 seconds and continue on to a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph)." I'll bet it is.

About the RC exhaust:

"It comes with a programmable control system that monitors backpressure inside the exhaust and opens the 70 mm butterfly valves when a pre-determined level of backpressure is exceeded.

The unique advantage of this system is that it provides good torque at low engine speeds without sacrificing top end horsepower...The driver can adjust the sound of the DBS at any time using a remote control."

The wheels are 21 inches, and it obviously it comes with an adjustable sport suspension; nothing new there. What's new is the brakes.

Remember those 6-egg-omelet-sized brakes on Koenigsegg's Agera? 'edo competion' has taken it to a full dozen: 6-piston calipers clamping 405mm discs up front. That's 15.9 INCHES. 380mm discs - usually more than enough to use up front on megasuperhypercars - do stoppage out back with 6 more pistons each.

The car pictured here is just a corporate example of what edo can do to the DBS. Remember, the sky's the limit (rub fingers together to simulate having money).
