Tuner Company Elite have recently release
concept images of it's 2010 Aston Martin LMV/R (Le Mans Vantage Racer).
Distributed through Exotica Motorsports via selected Aston Martin
dealerships in the US. Only 30 street legal race cars will be
produced world-wide, making the Aston Martin LMV/R very exclusive.
Along the lines of the Ferrari Scuderia, Stradale
and Lamborghini Superleggera, the Elite LMV/R is lighter than the
factory Vantage due to most of the body work being made from carbon
fibre. The Scuderia, Stradale and Superleggera were built with the race
car purists in mind, who want a more nimble version of the production
street car that they were built from.
Taking into account that these cars are built for
the track, they aren't for everybody due to their stiffer suspension
(which makes for a harsher ride) and loud exhaust systems.
The Superleggera's US production was capped at 172
cars, the Ferrari Stradale has seen 1,288 units built and the Scuderia
production was about 1,500 cars. Compared to production numbers of the
30 LMV/R's, you can see just how exclusive the LMV/R
truly is.
In order to take a Vantage and turn it into an LMV/R race car, many
components have been changed.
Here are the details of the LMV/R package:
Carbon fiber body kit consisting of: front bumper
with screens, visible carbon canards, visible carbon front splitter,
hood, fenders (2" wider), side skirts, side skirt panels, rear quarter
panel extensions (2" wider), trunk lid with visible carbon rear wing
and rear bumper with visible carbon diffuser.

All LMV/R's will be assembled in Florida, the customer will order a
brand new Vantage in any color offered by Aston Martin with any
options. The Vantage is then picked up and sent to Florida where the
transformation will happen, turning the factory Vantage into the track
ready LMV/R.
The exterior can be painted in a factory finish or
a custom colour at an additional charge. Also included in the package
is an Alcantara interior (which can be in any colour) along with carbon
fiber paneling in the cabin and 20-inch wheels to fit the wide body kit.
The package price is estimated at $173,000 plus
the cost of the Aston Martin Vantage.
