The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a finely balanced sports car by design. Building on experience gained working alongside Aston Martin engineers at Gaydon, we’ve developed ECU tuning solutions that extract additional capability while preserving the car’s intended character. Any remaining conservatism in the calibration has been addressed. Methodically.
Our calibration work for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage focuses on controlled increases in power, improved throttle response, and a more linear torque delivery across the rev range, enhancing performance without compromising refinement or drivability. All engine calibration work is developed and validated in Auckland, New Zealand.
Key Features:
Increased Power Output: Measured gains in horsepower and torque through precise ECU calibration.
Sharper Throttle and Power Delivery: Improved response and reduced latency across the load range.
Enhanced Driving Dynamics: A more composed and responsive V8 under acceleration and sustained load.
ZF 8HP Transmission Tuning (2018+): Optimised shift logic, improved responsiveness, and refined torque management.
Performance Gains:
V8 Vantage (pre-2018): +22–25HP, +35Nm
V8 Vantage 2018+ (510hp): +80HP, +80Nm
How It Works:
Morning Drop Off: Vehicle inspection and discussion of tuning objectives.
Expert Tuning: Engine ECU recalibration and on 2018+ models, ZF 8HP transmission tuning, focusing on torque control, response, and stability under all operating conditions.
Afternoon Pickup: Drive away in an Aston Martin V8 Vantage that delivers stronger performance with OEM-level consistency.
