Aston V8 RS
Found it on one of Aston's forums. Of course at rumor stages.
Lower DBR9 influenced front splitter and large intakes, lower ride height, adjustable dampers
Aerodynamic enhancements to the undertray with a rear venturi
Many composite panels and a carbon fibre roof
Weight down by 150kg to 1420kg
Power up from 380 to 420 bhp
six speed manual gearbox, 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds, 0-100mph in under 10 seconds, top speed of 190mph
New even louder exhaust
Bigger brakes
Optional roll cage, optional delete of radio, air-con and electric windows

AutoExpress in their 7th December 2005 issue has hinted at a more powerful lighter version of the V8 Vantage. The name 'RS' was suggested but I would expect it to be called something different to this.
