About the DB4 Vantage

The 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Vantage is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,353 kg with 266 bhp, which works out at 196 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 196 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.73 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,825th quickest to 60 mph, and the 74th quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 95.4 mph, the 3,586th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Aston Martin DB4 Vantage 0-60 time?

The Aston Martin DB4 Vantage reaches 60 mph in 7.08 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,825th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Aston Martin DB4 Vantage quarter mile time?

15.47 s at 95.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.23 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Aston Martin DB4 Vantage have?

266 bhp and 1,353 kg, which is 196 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 242 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin DB4 Vantage?

Closest here on pace: Ferrari Mondial 3.2 3.2 V8 260 (6.92 s), Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 SS 210 (7.02 s), Aston Martin Virage (1988) (7.18 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin DB4 Vantage in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Aston Martin DB4 Vantage is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
