Aston Martin are no lightweight cars

330HP at that weight doesn't seem very perfomancy to me

0-100 km / h 6,4 sec and a top speed of 269 km / h That's pretty good for a car with the roots in the 80's

Pretty sure that Top Speed figure is wrong. I once read that the stock Virage has a top speed of 254kph.

I'm pretty sure that it's right, it's stands in a book about Aston Martin

I think it is wrong, just look at this small comparison: A Porsche 928 S4 has a 5.0 V8 with 320hp, weighs 1580kg, and has a relatively good drag coefficient of 0.34. It can achieve a top speed of 270kph with the manual trans. Now, the Virage has a 5.3 V8 with 330hp and a bit more torque and it weighs 1790kg. Now I don't have any figures for it's drag coefficient, but I'm certain the boxy shape isnt much more aerodynamic than the 928. According to all sources I could find its top speed is 254kph. It seems more plausible to me that your figure is for the Virage 6.3 Conversion. Just thought I'd point that out.
