The last 40 units of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage received an extra ‘Le Mans’ designation in honor of company’s Aston DBR1 incredible victory of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959.
Aston Martin prepared a special engine for this late edition of the V8 Vantage, updating its 5.3L unit to 600 hp (that’s why it was also called V600). The car also featured a redesigned grille (’70s-style), new side vents and nostrils. Despite being fitted with plenty of luxury features, the V8 Vantage Le Mans was one of the fastest models in company’s history, doing the 0-60 mph in 4 seconds and reaching a top speed of 322 hm/h.
