Aston Martin Virage (1988)

The Aston Martin Virage (1988) reaches 60 mph in 7.18 s (100 km/h in 7.52 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.53 s, tripping the lights at 95.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.76 s and the eighth mile in 10.25 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.

About the Virage

The 1988 Aston Martin Virage (1988) is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,790 kg with 330 bhp, which works out at 184 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 184 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.76 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,989th quickest to 60 mph, and the 75th quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 95.0 mph, the 3,729th 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 Virage (1988) 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin Virage (1988) reaches 60 mph in 7.18 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,989th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin Virage (1988) quarter mile time?
15.53 s at 95.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.25 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin Virage (1988) have?
330 bhp and 1,790 kg, which is 184 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 253 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin Virage (1988)?
Closest here on pace: BMW M3 E30 (7.20 s), Morgan Plus 4 4 seater 2.0l i4 (7.24 s), Aston Martin DB4 Vantage (7.08 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin Virage (1988) 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 Virage (1988) 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.

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.
