1977 | Aston Martin V8 Vantage

The AM V8, Redefined.

Take an Aston Martin V8, give it an award-winning full restoration, and fit a series of subtle modifications. You’re left with the Aston Workshop V8 Evolution 6.0, the ultimate iteration of the iconic AM V8. Equipped with a fuel-injected 6.0L V8, a modern 6-speed manual gearbox, and chassis modifications including uprated brakes and suspension, the Evolution 6.0 is a everything the Aston Martin V8 was meant to be.

A complementary portfolio of upgrades encompassing powertrain and chassis components, Evolution 6.0 is informed by Aston Workshop’s decades of experience restoring and unlocking the true potential of these exceptional sporting grand tourers. A thoroughly re-engineered V8 engine conversion lies at the heart of Evolution 6.0, enlarged from the standard 5.3 litres to 6.0 litres, assembled in our on-site engine-building facility, and available with our in-house developed Electronic Fuel Injection system. With an increased compression ratio and uprated camshafts this is our ultimate state-of-tune for a fast-road specification V8, and delivers phenomenal energy during spirited driving without compromising driveability and refinement at a more leisurely pace. Our EFI system is packaged neatly beneath an original airbox for a period-correct appearance. 

Evolution 6.0 upgrades extend to transmission, chassis and braking enhancements, including the option of a modern six-speed automatic transmission or modern six-speed manual transmission. Together, these improvements build on the original character of the AM V8 models while ensuring they are vastly more capable in every regard. The result is far greater levels of performance with a corresponding uplift in vehicle dynamics, safety and reliability to suit the demands of modern driving conditions.
