Aston Martin V8 Vantage

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage reaches 60 mph in 5.97 s (100 km/h in 6.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.25 s, tripping the lights at 104.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s and the eighth mile in 9.42 s, reaching 100 mph in 13.26 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 V8 Vantage

The 1977 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,818 kg with 374 bhp, which works out at 206 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 206 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.51 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,217th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 72nd quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 104.2 mph, the 2,029th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage reaches 60 mph in 5.97 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,217th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage quarter mile time?
14.25 s at 104.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.42 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin V8 Vantage have?
374 bhp and 1,818 kg, which is 206 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 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?
Closest here on pace: Lamborghini 350 GT 3.5 V12 260 (5.92 s), Maserati 5000 GT (6.03 s), Ferrari 328 GTS 3.2 V8 260 (5.93 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin V8 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 V8 Vantage is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 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.
