American tuner Elite has designed the upgrading package for 2010 Aston Martin Vantage. The main features have much in common with Ferrari Scuderia and Lamborghini Superleggera. The likeness is primarily in the fact that it is made like a nimble version of a production street car.
The tuner worked much on the weight of the vehicle: the Aston Martin is covered with carbon fiber. The full light-weight kit is made out of a front bumper with screens, cannards, a front splitter, a hood, wide fenders, side skirts, rear-quarter-panel extensions, a rear wing and a diffuser all made out of carbon fiber. The performance is improved by sport muffler with dual tips, lowering springs and big brake kit. The wheel base is two inches wider and holds matte black 20-inch wheels.
Elite gave a special name to the car: Le Mans Vantage Racer. Only 30 units will be made and the production is set to be in Florida. All the package is priced for $173,000 not including the price of the car.

Many manufacturers are trying to create the best eco-friendly cars, this is why each auto show is full of hybrids, electric cars, bio-fuel and low emission technologies, and things alike.
