About the V8 Vantage Volante LWB 5.3 V8 557
The 1998 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante LWB 5.3 V8 557 is a rear-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,920 kg with 548 bhp, which works out at 286 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 286 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.24 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,320th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 50th quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. Its 115.6 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante LWB 5.3 V8 557 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante LWB 5.3 V8 557 reaches 60 mph in 4.21 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,320th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante LWB 5.3 V8 557 quarter mile time?
12.63 s at 115.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.33 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.24 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante LWB 5.3 V8 557 have?
548 bhp and 1,920 kg, which is 286 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 483 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante LWB 5.3 V8 557?
Closest here on pace: Maserati Quattroporte VI 3.8 V8 530 (4.20 s), BMW M5 5.0 V10 507 (4.21 s), Maserati Quattroporte GTS Mk VI (4.20 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante LWB 5.3 V8 557 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 Volante LWB 5.3 V8 557 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 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.
