History of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage was introduced in 1977 as the Britain's firt supercar thanks to its 5.3 L V8 engine that can reach 100kmh in just 5.3 seconds. In 1990, Aston Martin launched the Volante version with big wheelarches and sideskirts.
In 1986, it's the turn of the X-Pack upgrade, reference to its 4x2 Weber carburetor setup. Only 137 Volantes X-Pack were built. Just for info, this car was never sold in the US due to emissions regulations
