The AM V8 was the stalwart of the Aston Martin range from 1972 through to 1989. No other Aston Martin model has remained in production for so long. The page featuring the final iteration of the model, the rare AM V8 efi saloon has been revised with new photographs.
The page featuring the popular AM V8 built between 1973 and 1978 has been updated today with many new and previously unseen photographs. For some time, the AM V8 was an ‘entry level’ Aston Martin, interest in these cars is increasing quickly especially as they remain attractively priced against the 1960’s DB’s.
A new page featuring the prototype V8 Vantage has been added today with previously unpublished images of this important car in history of the marque. The V8 Vantage was not only the first Aston Martin supercar, but the first British supercar, built to take on the Ferrari 512BB, Lamborghini Countach and Porsche 911 Turbo. Unlike most of the others, it could carry 4 passengers to a speed of 170 mph and accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds.
The last of the line of William Towns styled V8 was fitted with fuel injection from 1986. The page featuring the cars that used to be called the ‘series 5’ has been revised with more photographs.
