Ever dreamed of owning an Aston Martin Vanquish like the one James Bond drove, well your dream maybe closer to reality then you ever thought thanks to Canadian company Exclusive Motors. The Canadian tuning company is bringing the Aston Martin Vanquish to the masses by building a replica based on 99-04 Mustangs. To make the replica as authentic as possible the Mustang has to be completely stripped down and completely rebuilt by hand utilizing a 34-piece body kit along with a complete custom interior. The company chose 99-04 Mustangs because of their new styling and how closely it resembles the Aston Martin family of vehicles. As for the engine the company plans on a full range of Mustang engines including a 5.4 liter V8.
According to the company the Ford Mustang enabled them to create a car which had very low and inexpensive maintnence along with low insurance rates. For the build process they used 10 different companies to build the car allowing each company to put their unique touch on certain areas of the car. I have listed the whole build process below after the photos.
I have to admit after looking over the photos this has to be one of the best replicas I have ever seen. The replica Aston Martin Vanquish looks exactly like the real thing. What they did with the interior is almost shocking, you can tell it's a 99-04 Mustang but you have to do a double take. No pricing has been announced for the kit but expect it to be rather expensive.
The Building Process
A company takes care of purchasing the right donor car. From background information, mileage, wear-and-tear, damage, correct paper work, and the right location.
The next company strips all the necessary parts, makes all the required chassis changes, installs all the suspension components, and does a full mechanical inspection.
A company here builds us grills, door handles, hinges, brackets, that are crafted and designed for our project.
In this step, two individual companies produce the 34 piece composite body. This is done in a hand lay-up and also a resin transfer method. All the best materials are used to allow us to put on such a beautiful paint job.
Even though part of the Ford Mustang door is used, a full door buildup is done.
This step is done by us. We take care of the assembly of the complete body. From headlights, grills, exhaust, and partial interior pieces. We make sure that the car has the right fit.
Another company then assembles the complete interior.
At this point the car is sent out to the paint shop. The car is then painted in a basecoat clear coat Glasurit paint. It is then hand sanded and polished to perfection. Also, a number of interior parts are painted.
The interior is then sent out to our master upholsterer, where it is finished in the right leathers and materials.
In this step, we have a unique company that makes hand made automotive glass. A little thicker glass and laminate gives us better sound quality inside the car.
This is the part we enjoy the most. Yes, the car has to be tested. At the point we are satisfied, the car is detailed, ready for delivery.
