Ah, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage by CTR, a project that takes modern classics and gives them a proper upgrade. None of that restoration nonsense, mind you. CTR doesn't bother restoring these beauties, they just tweak them to perfection. And let me tell you, it's about time someone paid attention to these 15-20 year old gems and made them as good as they should have been from the start.

Now, this isn't your typical resto mod. CTR isn't interested in restoring these Vantages, they just want to make them better. And boy, do they succeed. They've added an extended carbon front splitter, a new grille, and some fancy aerodynamic canards to make this car look like it means business. And at the back, there's a little lip on the rear boot and a diffuser with extra blades to keep this baby stable at high speeds. It's all about performance, my friends.

Inside, they've made some small but significant changes. Recaro bucket seats that wrap you in luxurious leather, new pedals for that perfect heel-toe action, and a gear knob borrowed from a Porsche 911 for that satisfying feel in your hand. And let's not forget the cup holders. Yes, they actually added cup holders because who in their right mind wants to drive a car without a place to put their coffee? Not me, that's for sure. CTR has taken the V8 Vantage and turned it into a true driver's car, addressing its shortcomings and making it a force to be reckoned with. Bravo, CTR, bravo.
