Aston Martin V8 Vantage

On the 18th February 1977, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage was announced. The V8 engine had already proven to be exceptionally reliable and robust, making it an ideal base from which to increase its power. A number of revisions such as camshafts, air-box, larger inlet valves and carburettors, new inlet manifolds and different plugs were made to increase the power by 40% and torque by 10%. The same ZF manual gearbox as the Aston Martin V8 Saloon was included as standard. All of this combined allowed for a top speed of about 170 mph and a 0-60 mph acceleration of 5.3 seconds. Aerodynamic improvements were also made to the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, such as a spoiler at the tail, deep spoiler at the nose and blanked off radiator and bonnet air scoop. Here are a few of the car's technical specifications: Engine: dohc V8, 5340 cc, 380 bhp @ 6000 rpm; Transmission: ZF 5-speed manual; Suspension: Front: Wishbones, coil springs, anti-roll bar; Rear: de Dion axle, Watt linkage, coil springs; Brakes: Girling discs all round, servo assisted; Top Speed: 170 mph; 0-60 mph: 5.3 sec.; Price New: £20,000 (1977) £50,000 (1984) £75,000 (1987); Production Dates: March 1977 - 1989.
