It doesn’t often happen that visitors to an automotive beauty contest stand speechless in front of a car. However, last weekend exactly this happened in London at the Concours of Elegance. The reason? Q by Aston Martin used this event to present to the public for the first time a one-off vehicle that had been created on behalf of a customer. The department within the Aston Martin plant, which actually specializes in customizing new series sports cars, is therefore now also recommended for upcoming special orders from VIP customers with sufficient financial resources. A replacement chassis including rear subframe for the supercar One-77, which was produced in 2011 in a small series of just 77 units, was uses as the basis. Like this monocoque, the completely redesigned body is made of carbon fiber. Using exact computer calculations, it wasn’t only possible to increase the downforce to 824 kilograms at high speed, but also to lower the total weight compared to the One-77. In comparison: the Vantage GT4 racecar has ‘only’ 525 kilograms of downforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the request of the anonymous buyer, the Aston Martin design department drew a body with various quotes from the classic V8 Vantage of the 1970s and 80s. RHAM\/1 in particular played a major role in the design process. This is a DBS V8, which was developed at the end of the 1970s under the then Executive Chairman Victor Gauntlett for participation in the 24-hour race in Le Mans with Robin Hamilton’s racing team. In 1977 and 1979 the car actually started the race. However, only the rough silhouette and the shapes of headlights and taillights remained of the original road vehicle. Instead, there were huge widenings and a lowered roof. Now, with this one-off car, this mighty V8 racing car is being set aside as a memorial as is the company boss of the time. The unique road car was given the simple name Victor.<\/p>\n\n\n
