Aston Martin DB6 Vantage

The Aston Martin DB6 Vantage reaches 60 mph in 7.77 s (100 km/h in 8.07 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.88 s, tripping the lights at 95.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.84 s and the eighth mile in 10.66 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the DB6 Vantage

The 1965 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,590 kg with 325 bhp, which works out at 204 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 204 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.84 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,062nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 78th quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 95.0 mph, the 3,715th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Aston Martin DB6 Vantage 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin DB6 Vantage reaches 60 mph in 7.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,062nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin DB6 Vantage quarter mile time?
15.88 s at 95.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.66 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.84 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin DB6 Vantage have?
325 bhp and 1,590 kg, which is 204 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 DB6 Vantage?
Closest here on pace: Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe 3.8 V6 Supercharged 243 (7.73 s), Aston Martin DB5 (7.61 s), Saab 900 Coupe 2.0 Turbo 185 (7.66 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin DB6 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 DB6 Vantage is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
