Description

1997 Aston Martin V8 Coupe **Only one in this colour**

Launched at the International Motor Show, Birmingham in October 1988, the sensational newcomer re-stated its Aston Martin V8 forerunner‚ brawny looks in the modern idiom, contriving to be slightly narrower yet providing increased interior space. The car was still no lightweight but with 330bhp on tap courtesy of the trusty V8 engine‚ new 32-valve top end, was good enough for a top speed approaching 160mph and a 0-60mph time of under seven seconds.

After spearheading the Aston Martin V8‚ transformation for the 1990s, the Virage name was dropped during 1994, its place as the model being taken by a Vantage-style V8 Coupe. Introduced at the Geneva Salon in March 1996, the new V8 Coupe adopted all of the Vantage muscular styling cues but retained the normally aspirated, 5.3-litre engine of the Virage and delivered similar performance. The model formed part of the Aston Martin range for just three years and is one of the rarer members of the modern V8 family.

Aston Martin built just 101 of these cars, 3 of them were converted by Aston Works service to shooting brakes, 69 were RHD and only 64 examples were built for UK customer deliveries.
