Project Kro: SR Auto Aston Martin Vantage

Project Kro is the name of an undertaking that the specialist of SR Auto have begun and finished exquisitely. The car that is being tuned is the Aston Martin Vantage. It is popular because of its unique characteristics, sublime nature and exceptional driving experience.

The stunning pictures show that Project Kro is in fact a true prince of the night. What adds to it is not only the modifications done, but also the true Aston Martin spirit that it carries within. And to be more precise this spirit is due to the 4.7 liter eight-cylinder petrol engine.

The V8 unit generates 426 PS (313 kW) and 490 Nm (361 lb-ft) and is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox sending all that power to the rear wheels. On the other hand the five spoke design and Project Kro go hand in hand perfectly.

SR Auto obviously kept the classic look of the vehicle but adding a bit of a modern twist. Te spice here is due to the PUR 8IGHT Wheels in Modern Black added. Weight and strength is what dominates in the choice of those wheels. They are in size 21×9+42 for the front and 21×10.5+55 for the rear. The wheels itself weigh in at 23lbs each and include a forged mono block design.

The Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 63 is the flagship of the range and it is naturally aspirated by V8 engine. The latter in turn, develops 518 hp (380 kW) and 700 Nm (515 lb-ft) of torque. That means that it achieves a time of 4.4 seconds, when it accelerate on the zero to 100 km/h.

That’s pretty impressive, when you consider that inside there’s seating for four, and climate control and a bag of other electric gizmos that add a humongous amount of weight. However, the SR Auto tuners weren’t satisfied with all these details and decided to do for this Mercedes-Benz even more.

The aim was to bring forth the personality of the car. To truly make this car unique, they have turned the pages back and adapted a style that would really set this CLS63 AMG apart from the crowd.

Color matched lips were perfect in order to add a signature twist to the wheels without going overboard. A diamond white lip surrounds the gloss black face of the twenty inch ADV 5.0.

SR Auto Infiniti M35 Fitted With Vossen CV7

SR Auto Infiniti M35 is an exceptional tuning with sinister stance. The reason for this is that the specialist from SR Auto decided to fit the Infiniti model with unique set of Vossen CV7’s.

In details the M35 has overall power of whopping 364 hp (268 kW) and needs just 6.9 liters per 100 km on combined cycle. The highway consumption is 5.6 liters per 100 km and the urban – 9.0 l/100 km. The acceleration time for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is only 5.5 seconds and the top speed here is 250 km/h (155 mph) – of course it is electronically limited.

But let’s go back to the main topic. The obstruction was the wheel gap, which we quickly eliminated with a set of BC Racing BR Series coilovers. The BC Racing coilovers offered a wide range of adjustments between dampening and height, which gave this Infiniti a powerful stance.

These coilovers were selected because they perform exactly the same at all heights. And the Vossen Wheels – in particular in CV7 form, include seven distinguishing spokes in a two tone finish. In fact, the face of the spokes was buffed to a bright polish finish, while the sides and windows feature a brilliant silver tone.

And we must admit that these wheels sit perfectly flush against the edge of the fenders, giving this M35 a sinister stance.
