Aston Martin V8 Vantage 1993-2000

ASTON MARTIN V8 Vantage (1993 - 1998)

Description & History: Aston Martin produced the V8 Vantage based on the [URL="http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5151"]Virage model[/URL] starting 1993. The new car featured a wider wheelbase and was fitted with a 5.3L twin-supercharged engine delivering up to 550 hp and producing 550 lb-ft of torque. Despite its 2-ton GVW rating, the V8 Vantage would reach 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds and have a top speed of 186 mph. Some of the most interesting exterior updates presented with the new V8 Vantage were the 'grapefruit-like' taillights and the lower ground clearance. Its engine was later updated to 600 hp for the special edition Le Mans V600, while the actual V8 Vantage (Virage-based) model would be discontinued in 1998.

i saw an ad of one for sale - it had had the superchargers swapped out for turbos, not sure i like the idea, but it had an extra 100hp.

In general I like this car, but the nostrils on the Le Mans edition hasn't aged well at all.

It definitely is, nice find.

I agree with you, if I had a Le Mans edition, i would swap (the nostril / grill) for a normal version.
