Magnificent Kensington Silver coachwork with Black hide One of just 137 X-Pack coupes built; fully restored by UK specialists The ultimate “true” V8 Vantage An absolutely stunning example The ultimate iteration of the muscular V8 Vantage, the model that would become known to enthusiasts as the ‘X-Pack’ was first introduced at the 1986 British International Motor Show. The most powerful and highly refined of all V8s was the final, European-specification Series III V8 Vantage, built from 1986 through 1989, which utilised the factory-designated aluminium 580X engine block, also known as “X-Pack,” a reference to its 4x2 Weber carburettor setup. The last carbureted production engine built by Aston Martin, this mighty mill squeezed 432 horsepower from 5.3 litres with its high-compression Cosworth pistons, larger valves and intake manifold, and so-called “Zagato-X-Pack-specification” camshafts, with resulting performance now achieving that of a genuine 200-mph supercar. Numerous interior refinements were featured as well, enhancing luxury to go along with speed. Shockingly expensive when new, only 137 cars were manufactured to this ultimate Series III specification, less than one built per week during its production run.
