Ringbrothers<\/a> unveiled their newest project called \u201cOCTAVIA\u201d at The Quail, a Motorsport Gathering in Monterey, California. Ringbrothers spent 3,900 hours designing and 8,200 hours transforming a 1971 Aston Martin DBS into something no one has seen before.<\/p>\n

The Aston Martin DBS generates power from a supercharged 5.0 L Coyote V8 built by Wegner Motorsports<\/a>. A custom 2.65 L Harrop supercharger contributes to the motor’s 805 hp (592 kW) output. The motor is controlled by a Holley Terminator X-Max ECU and fed by a KMP1500 fuel system using two Bosch BR540 in-tank pumps in a custom tank by Precision Stainless Fab. Ringbrothers used their fabrication skills to create a custom set of stainless steel exhaust headers. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a torque tube connected to a Bowler TR-606 Magnum six-speed manual transaxle.<\/p>\n

Ringbrothers built the car on top of a custom Roadster Shop<\/a> Fast Track Stage 3 chassis featuring a 58.75-inch track and 105.8-inch wheelbase. It also uses RS Fox Racing coilovers, C7 Corvette end links, and 1.25-inch splined sway bars. Braking is handled by Brembo GT M6 six-piston calipers with Type-3 380×34 mm rotors in front and Brembo GT M4 four-piston calipers with Type-3 380×28 mm rotors in back.<\/p>\n

The Aston Martin DBS features a full carbon fiber body by Gemini Technology Systems<\/a> with the front widened eight inches and the rear widened 10 inches. Carbon fiber is also used on the custom grill, clamshell hood, headlight housings, rocker panels, rear valance, and diffuser. The body is covered in BASF Glasurit “Double-0 Silver” with “Nuclear Olive” accent paint. Ringbrothers installed custom glass and 3D-printed stainless steel badging. The taillights are custom units from Gentex. The car rides on custom HRE three-piece wheels (19×11, 20×13) with a Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires (285\/35, 345\/30). <\/p>\n

Steve Pearson at Upholstery Unlimited\u2028 installed the custom interior. Ringbrothers contributed with their OCTAVIA steering wheel using a carbon fiber hoop and machined\/3d-printed stainless steel switches. Behind that are custom Dakota Digital gauges and a Vintage Air Gen 4 Magnum AC system. Ringbrothers installed a Gentex FDM<\/a> (full display mirror) with auto-dimming and rear-view camera display. <\/p>\n
