Aston Martin previously used the "Vantage" name on its highest-performance vehicles, and notably used the "V8 Vantage" name on their supercar of the 1970s and 1980s.
The V8 Vantage is powered by a 4.3 L (4280 cc) quad-cam 32-valve V8 which produces 380 hp (283 kW) at 7000 rpm and 302 ft·lbf (409 N·m) at 5000 rpm.
This engine is unique to Aston Martin and features race-style dry-sump lubrication, which enables it to be mounted low to lower the centre of gravity.
