Aston Martin DB5 Vantage '64

​

In September of 1964 the DB5 Vantage prototype, DP217, was revealed with triple Weber twin-choke, sidedraft carburetors and a 5-speed transmission. Aston Martin quoted peak power at 325 hp at 5,750 rpm which was 40 more than the standard-specification DB5.

Other minor upgrades specific to Vantage included new intake manifolds, larger intake ports in the cylinder head and different ignition timing. A cuum reservoir was also added to the brake booster.

Only 65 of the DB5 coupes were fitted with the 325 hp Vantage package of 898 total coupes. Seven very rare Vantage Convertibles were also produced.

Certainly a nice Aston Martin and like Harsk100 said .... good for making a 007 replica.



I wrote Jag down, but it must be Aston Martin ... sorry, was thinking about a Jaguar!

This and the V12 Zagato are the best Aston Martins ever created.
