Occasionally the last few generations of Aston Martins have been criticized for borrowing too much from the Ford parts bin. Possibly to defend British honor, Mr. Afzal Kahn, the owner of the exclusivist British tuner Project Kahn, revealed some photos with a custom interior for the
Aston Martin Vanquish S. Project Kahn can add Alcantara leather in the dashboard, center piece, seats, door panels, steering wheel and the roof lining creating a nice custom finish to an already exclusive car.

Aston Martin ended Vanquish’s production in 2007. But rumors about a successor for the supercar started to circulate even before the car ended its life. And today TopSpeed brings you a rendering of how the successor may look like.
With design clearly inspired by the 2008 DBS, the future Vanquish will be even more aggressive and sportier than its predecessor.
Under the hood Aston Martin will place an even more powerful engine, probably the same used in the DBS, with output going up to 500 hp (currently model has an output of 460 hp) and maybe at 550 hp for the Vanquish S version (up from the current 520 hp).
The body will be made of carbon fiber to reduce weight and increase performances, so that the 0 to 60 mph sprint to be made in around 4 seconds and the top speed to go up to 190 mph for the standard version and at more than 200 mph for the S version.
If you are a soccer lover, Wayne Rooney needs no presentation. For those who don’t know him, he plays for English Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team. Rooney was given the Aston Martin Vanquish S 2+2 by fiancée Coleen McLoughlin as a good luck gift before the 2006 World Cup. He is the only owner of the car and he only covered 5,900 miles.
His ride is now for sale for £150,000, and in the price you will also get the £10,000+ registration plate WAZ8 – after Rooney’s nickname Wazza.
The Scouse superstar is famed for his love of sexy cars, owning the best collection in the Premiership and having previously counted a Lamborghini Gallardo, Bentley Continental GT and Range Rover Sport among his motors.
The Vanquish S is powered by a 6.0 litre V12 engine developing 520 hp. It can hit a top speed of 200 mph.
Even if it looks like a Vanquish, at its origins is not. It is actually a Ford Mustang that was modified very wisely! The car was made by the Canadian company, Exclusive Motors.
