About the V8 Vantage Mk I 385 PS

The 2005 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Mk I 385 PS is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,636 kg with 380 bhp, which works out at 232 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 232 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.19 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,912th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 61st quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. Its 109.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Mk I 385 PS 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Mk I 385 PS reaches 60 mph in 4.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,912th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Mk I 385 PS quarter mile time?
13.33 s at 109.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.71 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.19 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Mk I 385 PS have?
380 bhp and 1,636 kg, which is 232 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 282 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Mk I 385 PS?
Closest here on pace: Bentley Continental GT Mk I (4.76 s), Nissan 370Z Coupe 3.7 V6 333 (4.79 s), Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (C 207) 500 388 (4.84 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Mk I 385 PS 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 V8 Vantage Mk I 385 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 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.
