Overview
- Ringbrothers transformed a 1971 Aston Martin DBS into a one-off restomod called Octavia, dedicating over 12,000 hours and retaining only the original power window switches.
- The build is powered by a Wegner Automotive–built 5.0-liter Ford Coyote V8 with a Harrop 2.65-liter supercharger producing roughly 805 hp paired with a Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual.
- Octavia rides on a Roadster Shop chassis that has been widened by eight inches at the front and ten inches at the rear, with the front wheels shifted forward three inches.
- Fox RS SV coilovers, 14-inch Brembo brakes and bespoke centerlock wheels by Ragle Design and HRE shod in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tires underpin the car’s modern performance capabilities.
- Ringbrothers has not announced any production plans for Octavia, emphasizing the one-off’s exclusivity and a reported owner cost near $2 million.
