About this Vehicle

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage X-Pack represents one of the most extreme evolutions of Aston Martin’s classic hand-built grand tourers, blending luxury with serious performance upgrades. Introduced in the late 1980s as a factory “X-Pack” option, it featured a heavily modified 5.3-litre V8 engine with Cosworth pistons, larger carburettors, and high-performance camshafts, boosting power to over 400 horsepower—significantly more than the standard Vantage . Visually, it stood out with a blanked-off bonnet bulge, integrated spoiler, and distinctive aerodynamic tweaks, giving it a more aggressive presence . Capable of supercar-level performance for its era, some versions approached or exceeded 170–200 mph, earning it a reputation as Britain’s first true “supercar” muscle coupe . Rare, powerful, and unapologetically bold, the X-Pack Vantage remains a highly sought-after icon of Aston Martin’s analogue performance heritage.
