About the V8 Vantage N400 Mk I

The 2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 Mk I is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,620 kg with 400 bhp, which works out at 247 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 247 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.97 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 949th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 33rd quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. Its 117.2 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 N400 Mk I 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 Mk I reaches 60 mph in 3.88 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 949th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 Mk I quarter mile time?
12.31 s at 117.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.00 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 Mk I have?
400 bhp and 1,620 kg, which is 247 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 295 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 Mk I?
Closest here on pace: Lotus Emira 2.0 365 (3.93 s), Bentley Continental GT Speed Cabrio Mk II facelift (3.89 s), Alpina B3 GT3 (3.92 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 Mk I 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 N400 Mk I 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.
