The Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante is a rear-wheel drive, open-top GT with 600 PS (594 HP), so it’s not exactly lacking when it comes to power, right?

Still, Wheelsandmore believes that it would be better with some minor work, which starts with an additional 40PS (39hp / 29kW) and 90Nm (66lb-ft) of torque squeezed from the 6.0-liter V12 engine.

Since this is the old naturally aspirated unit and not the newer twin-turbo 5.2-liter that powers the DB11, remapping the ECU wouldn’t have been enough to get the small power boost. Thus, the tuner went on to develop catalyst replacement tubes and flap exhaust, naming it the CRP-Power-Kit and asking €6,470 ($7,918) for it in Germany (excluding assembly.

The wheels part is covered by the 6Sporz² rims, measuring 9.5×21-inch at the front and 12×21-inch at the rear. These are shod in 265/30 and 325/25 Michelin tires and cost €9,235 ($11,302) for the complete wheel-combo set.

Wheelsandmore’s final upgrade for the Vanquish Volante is a set of lowering springs. They lower the center of gravity by 30-35mm (1.18-1.38in) and will set back owners of the gentleman’s sports car by another €1,007 ($1,232), without taxes and shipping.
