V8 Aston Martin

About This Site

This site is dedicated to the V8 Aston Martin in all of its manifestations. The site aims to look at the heritage of not only the engine, but also where the first V8s styling came from in terms of the era and influences that effected the design, development and production of what was the last of the truly hand built Aston Martins.

We have also tried to provide a site which aims to show people the types of things that can be or have been done to V8s either in terms of updating them to later specifications or in terms of providing better performance, handling, fuel consumption, safety etc.

We have dedicated a section of this site to racing V8s as this is an important aspect of the V8 world and as such it deserves to be looked at in terms of it's beginning, its successes, its failures and it's future

What this site does not do is have any information on it or pictures relating to any Aston Martin that does not have a V8 engine and for that we make no apologies.

We hope that you find this site informative and interesting and we hope that for those of you who are new to Aston Martin V8s that this site inflames the passion that is the V8 Aston Martin.
