About the Aston Martin V8 Vantage V600
The V600 was the ultimate evolution of the Virage-based V8 Vantage, offered as a 'Works Prepared' upgrade package from 1998. It featured a 5.3-litre V8 equipped with twin Eaton superchargers and enhanced charge-cooling to produce a then-staggering 600 bhp. To manage the immense torque, the V600 received massive AP Racing brakes, stiffer Eibach suspension, and hollow-spoke magnesium Dymag wheels. It remains one of the most physically demanding and visceral driving experiences in Aston Martin's history, representing the final, high-output summit of the Tadek Marek V8 lineage.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage V600 fun facts
- The V600 package was so extreme that it required a close-ratio five-speed gearbox because the standard six-speed unit struggled with the engine's 600 lb-ft of torque.
- At its launch, the V600 was one of the few production cars in the world capable of reaching a genuine 200 mph.
- The V600 is distinguished by its unique 'blanked-off' radiator grille with twin circular intakes and massive cooling vents in the bonnet.
