Now that's changed a lot from when I carried out the final inspection on the original car at Gaydon back in 2008/2009...... This is an absolute epic build... So much passion and hard work has gone into heavily modifying this V8 Vantage..... Fairplay to the owner great vision and execution.... You sir are a legend in you own right for making this a beast of a vehicle.... Well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@LarryChenPhoto]

Haha, incredible. This is why I love car culture.

[@ollywayman2990]

Are you still working there? Mine has Jordan Haynes on the badge

[@fryz]

“Wide body, low styling, and more downforce- I like” A true man of culture, hats off to you guys and this build crème de la crop ^_^

Should be a shirt 😅

wride bawrdy. Dis model I rike

The steering wheel should really be a wheel tho..

You can tell the pride and love the owner has for his creation. It's amazing.

[@weeb_french_turkish_hater]

such a cool guy

[@coreytrevor3910]

That is by far the sickest Aston Martin I've ever seen. Every single piece of that car fits. A photo of that car should be in included with the definition of fitment. Not a single gap, not a single millimeter misaligned. 11/10

[@steffenkawa8374]

Yeah i love that part. I recently saw a 2JZ Swap in an old mercedes also in tokyo. It was so damn clean it looked like stock.

[@Adam-ub9nu]

That shit has been gone through with a fine tooth comb because that certainly isn't factory fitment, lol.

[@Creator-ir6ku]

I want it soooo bad wow

[@F82_]

@@Adam-ub9nuwell duh, carbon fiber fitment is never perfect unless its oem, even some oem parts aren’t 100%

[@bradfoster8146]

Absolutely chefs kiss, and the owner is such a nice dude. I love your content Larry, not a lot of people are giving a glimpse into the world of cars the way you are.

[@BaseSRKI]

Well said

[@neukin]

You summed that up correctly

[@im-anon]

Imagine a car this wild and rowdy in the wangan anime, and the characters who race them will complain about it being too loud hence losing focus

[@omgness1234]

WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN

[@richiesworld1]

😁 heck yes!

[@neukin]

yup. raced a grand national once in the turbo CRX and his 4" downpipe went out the right side... i had the right lane.. couldnt even hear my car to shift.. strategic ha. Lost by a car length.

[@Viddough]

Seriously ,make this , AI IS YOUR FRIEND

[@EthanolEnthusiast]

No, nerd

[@conspiracy1914]

never knew aston had this kind of feel to it. usually its so classy. now i wanna see a tuned one street style

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

The astons were always legit gt3 cars. Always been at the le man's 24 hour.

[@AkinaSpeedStarsAE86]

even better because its not stickered out and the stance/fitment is just spot on

[@filipegil8752]

Anything Japan touches makes it gold. Seriously, in all honesty, if any of us would've said a while ago that they would like to see a V8 Vantage JDM style, most would have raised eyebrows and felt like it wouldn't be right... But, here we are... Stunning!!

[@crimpinurpimpin]

That’s one of the nicest looking Aston Martins I’ve ever seen. The carbon body. The stance of it. The sound of it. Just pure excellence. Well done.

[@neutralsamurai231]

This has been my favourite Aston Martin build for years.

[@jjr1028]

Amazing Video Larry! This car is insane. It makes it 10x better to see it in japan, cruising through the metropolis. Thank you for documenting this culture!

[@NT-wg1fg]

Exactly this. The shot where they’re going in between those beautifully lit trees. Amazing!

[@arthspidey666]

Dude, cackling like little schoolgirls is the only reaction one could have when listening to that sound. Amazing!

[@gravel_trap]

I love the Vantage so much and with his additions makes this my favorite Aston build ever

[@PortfolioAutomotive]

YES! Most slept on and one of the best sounding cars out there, love mine with QuickSilver exhaust 🥂

[@Diontb]

especially the vantage S as you know ! such great cars

[@brettannica]

I've just completed the GMR installation on my 06 V8V as Hiroyuki mentioned he wants to do to his. 0-100 is now 4 seconds with a bit of wheel spin. 600hp 👌🏼

[@hksp]

best sounding aston comes in v12 and only with brilliant exhaust

[@bend185ont]

Larry is always connecting us with the people 🙌🏼

[@sehemunzuri]

Larry you're delivery lately has been incredible! Can only imagine the hard work in the back end. Keep it up.

[@DailyOwnSupercars]

YOU in Japan with Larry Chen and his R34 With & A 800HP Carbon Aston Martin sounds Fun.😂

[@calym4566]

I will take a ride lol All day

[@LamentOfTheFallen]

That grey color is something that I will never get my eyes off of, Its literally astonishing and its glistening in the light. Beautiful color and that thing sounds RAW!😩

His craftsmanship is amazing, thanks for sharing it with us Larry

[@christianryder1537]

Mans priority list: 1.God 2.Familyyy (Dom Toretto Voice) 3. Dinero (Ludacris Voice) 4. Drifting the tyres off an ACR savagely tuned Aston Martin in Tokyo baby!!!! Yes please Vamos

[@edchelledu2006]

I love how the owner is so dedicated and passionate about improving and unleashing what’s the potential of that Vantage, he’s so knowledgeable too

[@justintime33]

When the owner of the Aston taps twice on each part he was pointing out I was losing it. In a good way. He's a humble vibe. You can still tell he's a wiz kid. I FREAKING LOVE JAPAN. People, food, culture, traditions, discipline. Every upload of cars meets, shows, races, on KZbin that I watch based out of Japan be it from Larry or anyone else, there is ALWAYS a few constants and that is, PEACEFULNESS, HAPPY yet very serious enthusiasm for the Automotive realm. ALWAYS. Just mad respect from me. This where I wanna live. I hope to be able to visit before I die from bs I was exposed to in the military.

[@kevinDG7]

As an aston martin fan. Normale, I don't like tuned aston but this 😍😍😍. The man is a true aston fan and made something beautiful

[@BCJDM]

I just love the dedication to one craft you can find in Japan.

[@TheHenranMan]

That is one of the most impressive modified cars I've ever seen. The wide body is incredible. The work looks OEM quality.

[@fastdays_1]

What a great person the owner is...we need more people like him on this planet!

[@rob_nice1]

This has to be the best Vantage on earth

[@klasseact6663]

As good as it sounds on the outside. I think it sounds even better on the inside!

[@williamsongarrett1]

I've been following ACR for a few years now and am in love with this kit. So glad acr is getting attention!

[@danielksong]

Hiro Akane San is such a humble man and super cool! LOVE ACR Performance!

[@Charlie_12x3]

Larry once again you amazed me with another beautiful build. Love your content buddy. 👍

[@DahRidlah]

That Vantage dose look so good, the kit fits the lines really nice Not the biggest fan of straight piping, mostly it is just loud but this one does sound, too

[@perx4759]

that’s what i’m thinking…. at some point it’s too loud

[@technical3313]

im not a big fan of older aston martins, but this one feels so new like you said in the video. I love the car

[@504DamnSkippy]

Such a sick Aston! As always, well done sir!

[@themrgumbatron]

Wild. I normally like Aston Martins for their sleek and understated styling but this is just menacing AF. Looking forward to the next iteration of this vehicle.

[@decibel__]

there are no words to describe this car, fantastic project, congratulations from Italy! 👏

[@SonofHardrada]

That carbon body gave me goosebumps. The exhaust is loud but not the best sounding. Amazing car!

[@CrawfordRacing]

Having our own Aston Martin business in the UK, we get some interesting developments with customers and using the Vantage GT8 is the closest we get to anything wide. Excited to see the products they have coming out in 2024!

[@LiqdPT]

Was the GT8 only available in the UK? We didn't get them (nor the AMR cars in this generation)

[@dankmemer2774]

While bolted on fenders with exposed rivets look cool. I will always prefer this type of look just like in the aston where the widebody blends in well with the rest of the body and everything looks cohesive rather than tact on.

[@_ph4nt0mzz_47]

Especially with cars of this caliber, like Astons, lambos, Ferraris etc etc, the type of widebody you mentioned is PERFECT for them, and should honestly be the standard.

[@emilianosc335]

Aston Martin made a road version of the racing car, well inspired, the vantage GT8...and there's also a GT12

[@janp19]

one of the coolest looking cars of all time

[@groovyhippie1165]

This is so cool! Great build.

[@neukin]

That was magic, the car and those blue like lights downtown. Glorious.

“You’re crazy.” “Thank you………….thank you.” 😂😂😂

[@demander11]

The exhaust is loud sure, but those rear tires are massive!

[@jorty3897]

i teared up a little when i saw it closely. sexiest aston ever

[@Red6er]

Beautiful car. The custom carbon widebody, the front bumper/ fenders/ hood/ rocker panels. This thing is like a work of art. Love the "probably illegal" exhaust LOL.

[@abdulyussef921]

Very polite and educated owner. Questions about the car was on point too. Nice content

[@sentree9857]

Gotta be one of favorite cars. Man I would love to drive that thing

[@craigbishop2529]

Man played Need for Speed Carbon and fell in love with the Aston in that... what a cracking build, love this!!

[@texasBMXer]

It is so interesting to see such a loud and intimidating car being driven by such a soft spoken and polite person.

[@piwok]

So Cool! I'm visiting Japan for the first time this week fir TAS, and I got a GTR rented to do this. This video is getting me hyped!!!

[@KazamHD]

one of the best cars on the channel whole video was awesome

[@eedesign878]

Yeah the rocks are flying from rear tires and not having rear bumper behind, not from the diffuser. Diffusers work great, as do low mounted wings, I design and make some from carbon and 3d-printed hollow core. But rock needs to be at least jumping from the tyre to start with to elevate it more in the suction. But this size diffuser just does not really produce enough suction to affect heavy stone on asphalt, albeit being on very effective height from ground. But I can totally get that the stones are directed by low pressure zone of any car really behind it, more towards middle.

[@rayd408]

Japanese really know how to build their cars, just perfect.

[@andipajeroking]

That NSX looks awesome ❤❤❤❤

[@thorasguardselectrician2013]

I wish so bad they made that kit for the DB9 😭 that is hands down the dopest Aston by far 🔥🔥🔥

[@Yourmission9]

The fact that Chen laughing when he hears the exhaust note hasn’t been turned into a meme yet is beyond me

[@aegean_444]

Beauty with great style

[@jaydenrubi-marcelino6418]

We need more Japan street racing style videos on yt. There’s not enough

[@Rokx80]

The Yakuza still don't tolerate this behavior in many regions of Japan as far as I know.

[@Jordan-tb2ee]

Literally because of this car I will deffff get an Aston now

[@adrianwilson725]

It’s always a good thing to see an elder man drive a high performance car and be so calm❤️

[@fredbruno]

He's right the DB9 Vantage was the most beautiful. The Victor too is insane they brought some old look with new creating a master piece.

[@rich-maniacs]

Larry’s laugh in the first scene 😂😂😂

[@TempleTonne]

great build and video thanks

[@CauseWhyNot.]

I always love Aston Martin's, this thing is beautiful. Done well, clean and sounds mean asf to.

[@ShariaLawAllDay]

And that is exactly why, ladies and gentlemen, a straight-piped V8 is always going to top any sound out there. This beast sounds as rowdy as a '69 straight-piped Camaro with a 632 big block sticking out from the hood. Absolutely sick, wicked and nasty! All hail the V8!

[@robertrishel3685]

Truly a gorgeous car, so perfectly fit together😍😍😍

[@michaelherman2207]

Sounds like mine but i have more pop and burbble. VAP headers, cat delete, muffler bypass. Love the body kit!

[@idkwhatowritehere-p3m]

That diffuser looks so similar to the diffuser of the Vantage race cars, that bodykit and that sound are just impressive

I should've never sold her 🥺😖😭
