Astons don't have speed limiters.

I think you'll find that early Volantes did......

To stop shredding the roof or something ridiculous like that wasn't it?

[michael gould]

what speed is it restricted to ?......lets hope its not a Jap re-import or it will be limited to 112 MPH !!

The Volante was restricted to "only" 165mph until the 07my when it had the same full fat 186 mph as the coupe ( the roll over sensors were also upgraded in the same year ) I'd talk to your local friendly A.M. Dealer or the Bamford team to see what's possible.

Stops your pipe from being blown out by high wind speeds when driving with the roof down

Speaking of pipes, there may be a market for an Aston designed one! Porsche have done it - http://www.porsche-design.com/europe/en/products/p...

thanks for your input ,i did ask an independant aston garage and paramount tuning but they both said it can't be done so i'm hoping you might know someone who can.the car is a 05 v12

[v8woollie]

Is this something that would require a remap of the ECU? I know on my old S4 it was derestricted via the ECU fast road map that I had.

At least your toupee will be safe

What a load of tosh. Bamford Rose have removed the 165mph speed limiter from my 06 Volante; no issues WHATSOEVER as Aston themselves took it off the next year when they realised the roof was absolutely fine.

Give them a call. And get some manifolds while you're there, you'll find it reaches that speed an awful lot quicker...
