2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Blanc de Blancs by Graf Weckerle


 
  Review 
 
   

Drinking a glass of fine wine with dinner is something a lot of people do when they want to unwind from a long, hard day, but when these same people want to celebrate something momentous, they bring out the Blanc de Blancs champagne. The same can be said of a great automobile. Sure you can drive around in a Mercedes on a daily basis, but for those special evenings, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage is the way to go. Bringing together these two ideas is Graf Weckerle who has designed a package for the V8 Vantage that gets its one-of-a-kind design from the most refreshing champagne produced.

The car’s interior and exterior are styled based on the white, green, and gold details on the Blanc de Blancs champagne bottle and look sensational on the sports car. The 21" wheels, however, leave much to be desired. Made of 180 titanium and aluminum parts, these "unique" wheels take up to 20 days to build. If it were up to us, we’d let them stay a little longer. No offense to the Graf Weckerle logo, which is what the wheels are styled after, but we can think of hundreds of other options that would have looked much better on this beautiful vehicle. But hey, at least the interior sparkles with 24 karat components.

In addition to the beautiful - and not so beautiful - stylings of the Aston Martin, Graf Weckerle have also tuned the standard 426hp 4.7 Liter V8 engine to deliver an improved 470hp.

Not a fan of the V8 Vantage? Graf Weckerle can also mount this package on an Aston Martin DBS and a Ferrari 599 GTB. Plans for adding it to the Ferrari 458 Italia are also in the works.

I think this car is perfect for a bridal car with a very aristocratic design, particularly the wheel. This car is perfectly elegant and enchanting.

Nice shoot! smiley Anyway, it looks like their DBS by Graf Weckerle, but I noticed that it looks more glamorous than with the DBS. Moreover, I think it will be more impressive on a V10 or V12 engine.

Yeah! I have to agree with them that it looks so lovely with its very neat appearance, and the design of its wheels makes this vehicle look more perfect! smiley Furthermore, it’s a good thing that it has a nice engine.

This vehicle is looks so clean, and it is very admiring on that! smiley Anyway, why is it only on a V8 engine? I think it is more fun to drive with if they also use a V12 engine on this roadster.

Oh yes! Here it is the design of the Blanc de Blancs. Well, i don’t think that those wheel looks cool it doesn’t look sporty at all.

Graf Weckerle, have made a newer version of this  Blanc de Blancs.  The design for the wheel is awesome but i think it will fit only for distinctive color.

Best looking car in the world! And maybe the reason why does the GT4 doesn’t have a rear wing is because they are close to production.
