For decades Aston Martin has been releasing iconic and eye-catching examples of speed. One of their most iconic rides, the Vantage, first made its debut back in 1977. The car has gone on to become an icon of speed, combining Aston’s design heritage with an emphasis on performance. Today we get a look at a legendary Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a beautiful X-Pack model full of updates and upgrades. This beautiful 1988 Aston Martin V8 Vantage X-Pack is damn near flawless.
The ride includes upgrades to the 5.3-liter V8, boasting higher compression pistons, four Weber carburetors, a larger intake manifold, and bigger intake valves. These details provided 432 horsepower and gave the Vantage a legitimate 200 MPH top speed. This ride was a real supercar for the time, boasting sleek lines and outstanding attention to detail. This particular 1988 V8 Vantage is an original factory X-Pack model. The red paint and white leather interior with red carpeting are striking, contrasted by burled walnut trim.
This beautiful machine is a striking example of classic British luxury at its finest. Take a closer look at this beautiful ride in the images below and head over to RM Sotheby’s to find out more about this pristine machine immediately.
