You might not think if the car that similar to the Aston Martin was made from an old car. Believe it or not, this car was built from a Toyota GT 86. Yes, a Japanese company named DAMD successfully changes an old car into a very similar to the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Not only the exterior appearance, the car's interior also made similar to those British luxury car.
As quoted of Autoevolution on Thursday, August 6, 2015, DAMD is quite good at changing an old car into the new model. Earlier, in 2013, DAMD also managed to transformed a Toyota GT 86 into a very similar to the Lexus LFA.
And this time, the British-made luxury cars become their target. With the project entitled "86Vantage", DAMD managed to conjure an old Toyota car into a classy car like the Aston Martin.
Unfortunately, this project still leaves a shortfall. DAMD apparently did not come to replace the innards or car engine. They continue to use the original Toyota engine. However, apart from that, this work deserve invite admiration.
The modification acts made by DAMD engineers started from the front of the car including making the Aston Martin's grille-style. The headlights to the fog lamps are also made as closely as possible.
At the rear also successfully overhauled included with the bumper, spoiler trunk, fender garnish to glass top cover with the Aston Martin style.
Reportedly, the DAMD modification process spent ¥336 thousand or equivalent Rp.37 million. With the funds that much, of course for those the fans of Aston Martin with limited funds can make it as a consideration. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DAMD | AUTOEVOLUTION]
