The Virage-based, twin-supercharged V8 Vantage (1993-2000) — a hand-built Newport Pagnell muscle GT, not the later 2005+ V8/V12 Vantage sports car lineage already in the catalogue under this model. Reworked bodywork over the Virage's roof and doors; the world's most powerful production car at its 1993 launch. V550 denotes the initial ~550 bhp state of tune, V600 the ~600 bhp upgrade offered from 1998 (including the 40-unit V600 Le Mans Vantage).

Aston Martin squeezed a 5.2-litre V12 into the Vantage and called it, at launch, the last V12 Vantage there would ever be.
The AMR version of this Vantage is the only car ever built that pairs a Mercedes-AMG V8 with a manual gearbox.
Every V8 Vantage engine was hand-built at Aston Martin's Cologne, Germany facility -- the same shop that assembled the V12s for the DB9 and Vanquish.

Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
