Jealousy isn’t really our style.
Well, that is until we saw this 2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage project build by the guys at Secret Entourage.
Dubbed “Project Heaven”, this beautiful V8 Vantage was tastefully done with upgrades from D2 Forged Wheels, RSC Tuning, The Vantage Collection and Klutch22. Although we’ve seen photos of this car around, we didn’t realize how much work went into the build until we read the full article series on Secret Entourage.

According to the articles on the build, they chose some of the best partners to create one of the best V8 Vantages on the road:
- Vantage C upgrade from RSC Tuning (includes ECU upgrade, exhaust and new CAT filters)
- 20″ D2 Forged VS1 wheels (staggered, of course)
- Carbon fiber body upgrades from The Vantage Collection
They even successfully increased the notably “sluggish” (the term being relative of course) V8 Vantage into a proper 430 HP sports car.

So why are we jealous with envy?
Aside from Secret Entourage’s V8 Vantage being one of the prettiest cars out there, we had been toying around with the idea of doing a project car of our own here at ESM for a few months.
Yup, it was going to be a Vantage.
Secret Entourage is paving the way for all the V8 Vantage upgrade builds out there. We're glad we found the site. Image from http://www.secretentourage.com.
Hopefully if we still do our own project Vantage, the boys from Secret Entourage will take it as a sincere form of flattery more than anything else.
They did such an amazing job on this build, we’ve got it on our favorites and will probably use some of the advice they gave in their article series.

To create Essential Style for Men, mix 2 parts petrol, 1 part secret agent, 1 part rock and roll, 1 part hip-hop and a shot of tequila in a shaker with ice and vigorously shake for 20 seconds. Pour into a martini glass rimmed with explosives and have a supermodel serve for all your friends to enjoy.
