A nice occasion in our inbox: an Aston Martin with 600 hp. That was enough to ensure that the Vantage V600 the most powerful street-legal car of Aston Martin was, until the One-77 saw the light of day. But there is more that this Aston martin special!
The Aston Martin Vantage V600 was an insane project on the basis of the regular Vantage. This ultimate and final version of the Tadek Marek V8 was equipped with two superchargers, giving the total power was 600 hp and 600 Nm of torque. According to Aston Martin was thus a top speed of 200 miles per hour (322 kilometers per hour), but it should be noted that the highest recorded speed by journalists 185 miles per hour, and nothing faster than that. The sprint to 100 would be under four seconds should be possible, but also that claim is by the journalists in question.
The car, which in this case is to purchase state seems to be one of the four lhd V600’s which are factory-set with zesbak transmission were provided. In total, only nine Vantage V600’s by the factory supplied. You could if Vantage owner, however, also post the V600 kit fitted. Reported to have about 80 cars total, the upgrades eventually received and you can the kit still fitted by Aston Martin Works.
The V600 kit consists of the power upgrade (50 hp extra compared to the regular Vantage V8), other brakes, lightweight wheels, a sportier suspension, better cooling, different exhaust and an ECU that also traction-control made it possible. No luxury, probably.
The V600 which is on sale now, may road for €278.888 including terugkoopgarantie. The differential seems to be in the V600 manual zesbak replaced must be (a surgery with a cost of €35.000 euro). Also a vijfbak and a viertraps automatic transmission were available. This V600 has the 30,000 miles of life experience collected and has all onderhoudspapieren and even the purchase documents that the first (and only previous) owner, it was purchase.
Special? We thought so!
UPDATE
There is some confusion about the delivery of the various gearboxes at the time. I have Aston Martin e-mailed with a request for explanation. We’ll keep you posted.
