Bilvask.nu - Keeping your Exotic Clean
Posted by Jonas Hostrup in News on February 26th, 2009
Michael Vilnov Hansen was studying law at the University of Copenhagen, back when his imense interest in high-end cars made him take chance. He started his own company detailing exotics. With no experience and no references he jumped head first into the world of supercars. Michael got the inspiration for his company in England, while staying with some family.
Today, the company is 5 years old, and exists on a Franchise platform. The company has 3 mobile detailing vans, 5 full-time employess, 2 regional offices’ and a HQ. It is located in Denmark, which is notoriusly known for it’s high taxation on cars, so we here at ECC consider it pretty bold to start a high-end car detailing company in a country, where such cars are scarce.

Aston Martin DBS Volante
Not many years ago, we saw the redesigned Aston Martin DB9, turn into a DB9 S (DBS) - The car looked beautiful and found it’s way to e.g James Bond and recieved rave reviews all over. Now, Aston Martin has shown the first pictures of their DBS Volante. Conceived as a Volante from the outset, Aston Martin engineers opted for a fabric hood to closely follow the silhouette of the DBS coupe and due to its lightweight properties, minimise overall weight gain. Fully retractable in only 14 seconds and at up to speeds of 30 mph (48 km/h), the roof will automatically stow under the newly sculpted tonneau, maintaining the DBS Volante’s perfect form – hood up or down.
Power is provided by Aston Martin’s hand-built all alloy 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS), and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque with a top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h) and 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 4.3 seconds. The nature of the V12, and in particular the torque available at all engine speeds, serves to provide effortless driving in all situations.
