The Aston Martin DBS has been tuned with a new package by the tuners Edo Competition, with modification to increase its power output.
Edo Competition has given the DBS include revised ECU software, a new exhaust system, special catalytic converters, and high flow air filters. As a result, the car now produces 542bhp and 600Nm of torque, an increase of 32bhp and 30Nm from the standard car. This allows the DBS to go from 0-100km/h in 4.1 seconds, and reach a top speed of 320km/h.
According to Edo Competition, 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.”
Among other modifications that Edo Competition has equipped the DBS with include a high performance brake system, 21-inch wheels, and an adjustable sports suspension, which can vary the ride height, spring compression and rebound damping.
