QuickSilver Sound Architects are back on the road with the team from CarWow

November 10, 2025

We were kindly invited to a CarWow meet at the Kendrew Barracks last year, where they were showcasing a number of SUVs, including a Defender and Range Rover Sport SV with our exhausts fitted.

We had an incredible time, and got to show off what we make, to the delight of a number of people there.

We must've made a good impression, as our creative director, Barry was invited back for a very special, and exclusive head-to-head.

The event showcased mainly modern V12 road going Aston Martins in a shoot out from the least expensive head-to-head up to the most expensive. But, they did also test a few V8s including a 4x4 DBX.

Models included were: V8 DBX 707, 2010 V12 Rapide, 2009 V12 Vantage, 2025 V12 Vanquish (QS OPF Deletes and 300 cpsi race cats and rear section.), V12 Hybrid – Valkyrie, GT8 V8 Vantage, 2025 V12 Vantage GT Cup RACING Car, 2021 Vanquish, V12 - QS Titan Sport Rear Section, 2007 DBS V12 - (having QS manifolds fitted in the new year.), 2012 V12 Vantage S, 2024 V8 Vantage (QS Secondary Catalyst replacement pipes.)

Four cars were supplied by our friend Rob Dawson, three of which were QuickSilver Equipped. The old V12 Vantage was very quick beating a lot of newer Astons. The new V12 Vanquish very impressive, beating the Valkyrie and everything else on most runs.

The DBX quickset off the line…being four-wheel drive gave it an advantage. V12 Vantage GT Cup car – not quick in a straight line, but looked amazing in its GT Championship livery. The GT8 Vantage sounded truly amazing and Valkyrie sounded insane when it got going! 

To cap it all, off fish and chips with Aston Martin's ex-CEO was pretty cool. 

Thank you, CarWow.
