Aston Martin V8 Engine History

Initially, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage was powered by a 4.3-liter quad-cam V8 engine which could generate 380hp at 7,300 RPM and 302 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,000 RPM. The engine was front mid-mounted, and the transaxle was rear-mounted for superior weight distribution. Slotted Brembo brakes were standard on all Aston Martin V8 Vantage models. After 2008, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage got an engine upgrade. In-house upgrades like a dry-sump lubrication system, as well as improved internals, manifolds, and engine management, enabled the new 4.7-liter motor to manufacture 420hp and 347 lb.-ft. of torque. Production of this version of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage continued through 2017.
Reintroduced as a 2-seater roadster, the latest edition of the (2018) Aston Martin V8 Vantage continues to be built around a bonded aluminum platform but uses a significant degree of technology from Mercedes-AMG. In fact, the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine is a handcrafted product of the legendary AMG facility. It has the capacity to make 505hp and 505 lb.-ft. of torque, as well as the ability to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4-seconds. A rear-mounted 8-speed ZF gearbox and electronically controlled torque-vectoring differential (a first for Aston Martin) help to spur the Aston Martin V8 Vantage to a top speed of 205 mph.
