The 12-cylinder Aston Martin DBS flagship already produces 517 horsepower and boasts a top speed of more than 300 km/h (186 mph). Improving on those numbers while underlining the elegance and beautiful design of this British knockout and strengthening its sporting credentials was the goal declared by edo competition. The power output was tackled first. It was agreed that 517 hp and 570 Nm (420 ft-lb) are not quite enough. The engine control unit was modified via software recalibration. Thanks to a new high performance exhaust system, special catalytic converters and high flow air filters, power output was increased to an impressive 550 hp and 600 Nm (442 ft-lb). This is enough power to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.1 seconds and continue on to a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph). As a matter of principle all modifications performed by edo competition are calibrated and verified on a dynamometer. This way the true power output can be documented. The high performance exhaust system, which was specially designed for the edo Aston Martin DBS, incorporates butterfly valves allowing it to produce a fantastically rich and sonorous sound. They further help increase the British luxury coupe’s power and torque output. The exhaust comes with a programmable control system that monitors backpressure inside the exhaust and opens the 70 mm butterfly valves when a pre-determined level of backpressure is exceeded. The unique advantage of this system is that it provides good …

Toronto is a treasure trove of places with interesting history and architecture. Many of them have been torn down, but fortunately there are still a few of these fascinating gems left that connect us with Toronto’s interesting past. Yesterday I went to do an interview with Christina Zeidler, the driving force behind the revitalization of the Gladstone Hotel. It’s a place with a long and fascinating history. The longest continuously running hotel in Toronto was built in 1889, by a female entrepreneur named Susanna Robinson, who ran the hotel together with her 13 children. At one point the Gladstone, a railroad hotel, was the last place to obtain liquor before reaching Hamilton. It was also one of the first 10 hotels in Ontario that received a permission to allow patrons to drink alcohol and play shuffleboard in a specially designated area. But it all went downhill for the Gladstone from the glory days. Although continuously operating, the hotel was in disrepair for about 40 years and didn’t have a great reputation. In 2002 Toronto’s prominent Zeidler family decided to rescue this historic jewel. Eberhard Zeidler is one of Canada’s most famous architects and designed the Eaton Centre and Ontario Place. His daughter Christina Zeidler, an artist and filmmaker, was put in charge of the restoration and of managing the hotel. The entire infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, heating) was brought up-to-date. The hotel rooms, which used to be serviced by communal bathrooms, were …
