RE: Is this a turbocharged Aston Vantage?
Discussion
There was an article a month or two back of a v8 vantage where a company had put on a watercooled supercharger.

Anyobdy who does complain about stop-start, other than the delay some (poorly developed) cars give is obviously a nonce anyway.
GroundEffect - which team do you work with in Ford PD? I was there for 3 years until about August of '11. Curious to see if I know you.

It's been discussed elsewhere but I don't think either the V8, nor the V12 as they stand are suitable for factory turbo or supercharging (ie, it's doable, obviously but to get it through regs and on the road reliably is another thing entirely).
I didn't hear a turbo whistle in that clip - it's too short and muffled.
Disagree - the V8 is based on the Jag 4.2 that had a blower in the XKRI didn't hear a turbo whistle in that clip - it's too short and muffled.
There are also 4 aftermarket blower kits for the V8V in 4.3 form.
Nothing for the V12 as yet

It has two big issues, water injection for charge cooling with a finite tank volume, poor integration in to the AM ECU.
I'm looking at putting this on mine now Dr Bez has stiffed us on the V12V roadster

I met some chap on a ferry back from Denmark last week who worked on water injected, supercharger kits. I thought he was from GMR. If he was, they're certainly still working on them as he was driving the Aston that was going to become their European demonstrator!
