As seen at the 2013 SEMA Show this ESX SuperVanatge is a head-turner everywhere it goes. This is not your average sluggish Vantage, the Air-to-Water Intercooled Supercharged V8 boasts over 500hp and sounds simply amazing in person. Osh Minelian from Race Marque Systems was flown in specifically to tune this Supervantage last year and the car has been simply amazing to drive since then. The Hexis Matte Frozen Grey Metallic Vinyl Wrap was professionally installed by PGNOLA (Winner of King of the Wrap World 2015) and looks amazing but could be removed to show the perfect Onyx Black Metallic Paint beneath. The roof and trunk lid were covered with a faux leather wrap material that looks like flat black from a distance but up close you see the leather grain for a very upscale and unique look. The car sits on custom 19 HRE P40 Wheels with Continental Tires. The tires have plenty of life still in them but I can also include a brand new set of Continental ContiSportContact Tires if the buyer requests these as well. The Tail Lights were upgraded to the Clear DBS LED Tail Lamps and have a tint applied as well as the emblems front and rear (can be removed). The sound system was extensively modified with all top-of-the-line JL Audio Equipment and an amazingly unique amp rack and carbon fiber accented woofer enclosure. You are simply not going to find a Vantage of this caliber anywhere else. I can not list everything that makes the vehicle unique so here is some more info from the PAS Magazine Article: “We wanted a car everyone can appreciate, ” Hartenstein says. “When people see the Aston Martin, there’s a universal appreciation because it’s such a great looking automobile.” Of course, being a car guy at heart, no simple Aston Martin would do. After a bit of research, Hartenstein found out about the ESX SuperVantage, and knew it was the car he needed to be built for his booth at SEMA.
The ESX SuperVantage is a limited edition version of the V8 Vantage built by Ali Afishar’s ESX Productions in Southern California, a company previously known for its Subaru drag race program, which still holds the world record for the quickest and fastest Subaru passes. Making the V8 Vantage into a SuperVantage made Oracle’s car just one of 16 in the world.What starts with a baseline Vantage V8 platform, it is transformed with a belt-driven supercharger, pushing seven pounds of boost through an air-to-water intercooler and standalone heat exchanger to blast more than 530 horsepower through the rear wheels. A custom tune put together by Osh Minelian from Race Marque Systems is paired with the ESX exhaust to allow the supercharged engine to breathe properly.
It’s hard to upgrade the looks of the Vantage, but Hartenstein found some select carbon fiber bits to accentuate the OEM lines. A full suite of carbon fiber products from The Vantage Collection has been added, including the chin spoiler, side mirrors, fender vent strakes, rear diffuser and a ducktail spoiler.
A set of charcoal metallic HRE P40 wheels (19x9 in the front and 19x11 in the rear) are wrapped in Continental ContiSportContact tires to give the car a meaner stance and provide better traction for all that extra horsepower. H&R lowering springs also provide a slightly stiffer ride and help reduce squat on acceleration. To provide a unique color that would stand out on the SEMA floor, the entire car is wrapped in Hexis “Frozen Grey” material by Kevin Kempf at PG NOLA. Hartenstein was looking for a dark silver or gunmetal that would stand out, but was afraid of the car looking like it was primered. Kempf selected the Frozen Grey and the final product is getting rave reviews. Kempf also added some leather-look textured black vinyl material to the roof and rear tailgate to provide a bit of classy contrast.
Since the car was showcasing ORACLE Lighting at SEMA, special attention was given to the entire lighting setup. After ORACLE’s Kirk Jenevein pulled the headlights apart, the projector lenses were laser-engraved in-house with the ORACLE logo. Highlighting these details, the projector was backlit with blue LEDs and red halos were added around the projector. The factory daytime running lights are swapped for red LEDs to provide a matching theme. Red LEDs are also used behind the hood and fender vents, as well as inside the rear diffuser to keep the devilish appearance, regardless of what angle you look at the car.
The final piece of the puzzle was the audio system, which was designed, fabricated and installed by Wesley Cato at Anything Car Audio. Cato started with a full catalog of JL Audio equipment and designed the system to showcase the capabilities of the components.
Starting in the trunk, the floating speakerbox is built with just enough depth to provide the pair of 10-inch 10TW3 “thin-line” subwoofers enough airspace for standout sound without taking up too much trunk space. Each corner of the interior is filled with four-inch C5400CM components paired with a C5-075CT tweeter to round it out. Two XD700/5 amplifiers with built-in crossovers mounted in a waterfall-style amp rack support whatever the soundtrack.
All of the audio is run through the OEM Aston Martin head unit thanks to the JL CL441dsp OEM integration interface, while the signals are swept clean via the CL-SSi summing interface. Cato took the time to hide all the wiring and even soldered every amp and speaker connection to ensure the install looks and sounds as clean as possible.
Since building the car for the 2013 SEMA show, Oracle has brought it to several events as a showcase of what can be built using their full line of products. After having the car in his possession for nearly 18 months, the Aston Martin still puts a smile on Hartenstein's face and turns heads at every stoplight every time he drives it. There are no more questions of “Why didn’t you build this one?” Now there are only whistles and nods of approval.
