| Propelling Aston's V8 back into the
supercar league was a tuned version of the existing 5,340cc
engine breathing through a quartet of 48mm Weber carburetors
rather than the standard 42mm units. Valves and ports were
enlarged and the camshafts changed, the end result being an
estimated maximum output of around 375bhp. Chassis changes
were minimal apart from the adoption of bigger ventilated
discs all round and low-profile Pirelli tires. The Vantage
was, nevertheless, readily distinguishable from the standard
product by virtue of its blocked-off bonnet scoop, blanked air
intake, front chin spoiler and lip on the boot lid. |
